Finding beauty

So often I go through my days complaining about where I live, and how ugly it is. But lately i've been seeing the bigger picture in alot of things, even where I live. God has placed me here for a reason, even if I don't see the reason why at the moment. But instead of complaining about where I live being so ugly, i've been trying to find the beauty in all of it lately. From sunsets, to flowers, to family, to friends. The list can go on. I've been into photography for a long time, but never did anything about it until I got my little camera. So i'm doing this through picture. I got this idea from a person I know doing a picture of every day of her life along with two other friends. I thought it was really cool, so it's similar to that, but finding beauty in everything.

When I took this photo it was right after a really bad storm yesterday. It was taken right as the sun was setting. When it look at the picture it makes me hopeful for what is to come. Through all of the storms of my life, God is there to change them into something beautiful. That may sound cliche, but it's totally true. He can take the ugliest things in our lives, and make them the most beautiful things we have ever seen.
