As I lay down in wet grass and leaf litter to make this image I start to realize that this scene speaks to me. It speaks in a way I would not have understood before. A little over 1 year ago I invited Jesus into my life. I gave him my heart and he made me a new one. Because of what he did on that cross for us I was able to take off the old me and be made new. The Cicada has taken off the old Cicada and is new. But it is still sitting there , it has everything it needs to complete its life as the new creation it has become and in just a while it will be doing that. This reminds me of Repentance. Change takes time. Its a slow fade and takes persistence but if we keep trying Jesus is there for us to help us and guide us. The biggest battle of my life has been the last few years.

I am proud of the man I am now.

In James 4:7 it says , Resist the devil and he will flee from you. I like the very next bit. Draw near to God and he will draw near to you. THAT is exactly what has happened for me. He has been all I have had for a long time. For my non believer friends I don't mean to be pushing anything on you. Please understand that.

This is the first monarch I have seen this summer. The numbers and diversity of butterflies seems to be quite low this year, with the exception of cabbage whites.
