This past week, I had the awesome privilege of being able to take pictures for some good friend of ours. Here are a few of the results... (for privacy purposes, please do not mention their names)
It is so incredibly easy to lose sight of where you are in life. One thing piles onto the next and all of a sudden you are swampped with a million things lined up in your datebook and a billion thoughts going through your mind. Sometimes I get so overwhelemed in my own life and busyness that I lose track of all the great things God is doing for me. As some of you may know, I quit my job at Giant Eagle to persue photography full time. I can't really describe the feeling of peace I had about it when I made the decision; I just knew it was the right thing to do. At first it was slow going and kind of discouraging, but over the last couple of months I have been able to make enough money solely through photography to support myself and all of my expenses. It would be easy to stop at that and brag on myself and my accomplishments, but I truly am humbled by the fact that God would choose to bless my efforts to use the talent he gave me to make a living....
Ok, so I bought this shirt at American Eagle this past week, and thought it was cute. It's all white, with an iris on the front of it. I love it. It fits surprisingly well, but the only problem... people keep asking me if I painted the iris myself. My dad asked if I made my shirt. Hannah asked if I drew on it with markers. ITS ARTISTIC! But I didn't do it!!! I didn't draw the Eagle emblem either. Oh my gosh.... I am so annoyed! So the count down to Disney World begins... officially 6 days until we leave! As the trip ooches closer, our excitement becomes more uncontainable. I'm dying to go on the Rockin' Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, and the Tower of Terror. Because it will be two of the littles' birthdays while we are there, we'll get to go to breakfast with Mickey, Pluto, Goofy and Minnie... i think. We'll also get to see our friends the Krayzels!!! I am so excited about it. It will be great fun The Official Countdown... 6 days
The word addiction has a negative connotation that goes with it. When we think of addiction, we think smoking, gambling, drugs, and alcohol. We think of the "real bad" ones. But the reality is that we all have addictions, because addictions are obsessions. You are probably thinking of yours right now as you read this. Some of us may even be able to justify the reasons for what we do or use. Others of us may not even realize that we have an addiction. To more clearly define what an addiction is, I looked it up on Merriam Webster Online. "to devote or surrender (oneself) to something habitually or obsessively " Its interesting to think about habits and obsessions. What is the difference? How do they work together? At what point does a habit become an obsession or vice versa? How is a habit different from idolatry? While the answers to most of the questions cannot be defined once and be applicable to everyone, here are some things to think about.... 2 Cor...
