The image of the week was captured right after I picked up my daughter from school. A cold front came in bringing with it some of the most beautiful clouds patterns that I haven't seen in a long time. This particular image reminds me of the storms we face on a day to day basis. The dark clouds on the foreground represents the temporary storms. The clouds and the blue sky behind the storm represents a new beginning and bright future ahead.

They came and woke Him saying, “Master, master, we are perishing!” He awakened, rebuked the wind and the waves, and they subsided and there was a calm. Then He asked them, “Where is your faith?” But they were filled with awe and amazed and said to one another, “Who then is this, who commands even the winds and the sea, and they obey Him?”
Luke 8:24-25

The image of the week caught my attention very early in the morning as I was driving to Jacksonville. I couldn't resist what God placed before my eyes, I had to stop for a moment to capture this wonderful image of God's love. Reminds me of what was said in Genesis-"Let man have dominion over the fish of the sea, the birds of the air, and the cattle, and over all the wild animals and the creatures that crawl on the ground."

The image of the week was captured when my daughter Mia was five years old while I was working in my office one summer. It all of a sudden got quiet and when I turned to see what my daughter was doing, I saw her in front of a mirror kissing herself. I had just enough time to grab my camera to shoot that wonderful moment. Thank God I captured it since that was the only time she did it, never got to see her do it again.

You see, my daughter Mia was born with Down Syndrome, which made her more special to our family and we thank God for giving her to us and for making her an important part of our lives. Her loving nature and qualities that a lot of people does not have are truly God sent. We learn from her as much as she learns from us. There are many challenges still lay ahead with education and in learning and how to become independent, but she truly is in the right path with God leading her path.
