Shallow Depth of Field

This picture is my shallow depth of field picture portraying intimacy with God. We were studying about how there are tons of ways that can draw us to a place of intimacy with God. Sometimes we are taught that the only way to find intimacy with Him is through reading the Bible, journalling, or being silent. All of these are GREAT things but God created us all to find intimacy with Him in different ways. The ones I related to the most were finding intimacy in the outdoors, caring for others, supernatural experiences with God, and being an activist for causes that are heavy on the heart of God. I find true peace and intimacy taking in the beauty of Creation and all the little details God placed in creation for our pleasure. My great grandfather Poppy built a vacation home for us in the Poconos Mountains by a lake. I have found so much peace sitting down by the lake soaking in God's Glory. So as soon as we were released to take intimacy photos I walked down to our lake and climbed up onto the rickety old dock and took this photo.
