Ode To Joy
As I was looking at this photo, I began to think about the trust a baby has in it’s parents. Oscar here trusts because he does not yet know the possibilities of what could happen. All he knows is that it is a a great place to sleep. He trusts because he has to trust.
This is the way God is wants us to trust him. He wants us to babes in His hands. After all, “he has the whole world in his hands”.
My son’s hands look strong and capable, however, I cannot see the Lords hands. So like this babe, I have to just assume that His hands are too.
There is one big difference. The lord promises us that he will “Never leave or forsake us.” Man cannot say the same, because even if my son wanted to never leave or forsake his son, there may come a time when he might have to.
My hope for my life is that I will trust the Lord the way Oscar trusts his daddy. Simply with blind faith, to believe that I can trust that I can..

Stunning, and great written piece to go with it :) Did you use a special process to get this so vibrant? It almost reminds me of a HDR style piece. Lovely baby…and very moving shot :)
Connie Thomilson replied
I wanted to get an hdr effect with my work, i looked at lucisarts filter and it was way out of my price range. so i settled with a photoshop filtered called Topaz adjust. You have to do a lot of handwork along with the filter but i like the effect when im done.

This is gorgeous! I just brought the Topaz Adjust filter yesterday – I think it will be a while till I work out how to get results like this. Well done – I love the written sentiments too, beautiful :-)
Connie Thomilson replied
It’s a great filter and very easy to use, just mix it with hand work and you will be out doing me. Thank you.
