time just keeps on going faster and faster...

Wow...I don't even know where to start. My heart is full right now and I feel blessed with where God has me right now. I've finally taken a leap of faith and have decided to pursue photography...and by that I mean as a job....no...not JUST a job...a career. I felt like God was pushing me in this direction, but true to form, I was afraid. I felt like a pacing lioness or something...going back and forth with this decision. The whole time though I felt like God was saying with a smile in His voice,"Go ahead...it's ok...just leap...I'll take care of the rest." And true to God's form, He has. Things are progressing faster than I thought they would, but I love it. Everywhere I go I'm constantly thinking about my surroundings and how it could make a great picture. Ahh...I'm in love with it I think. I feel like I'm working with God too. Like He's saying "hey look at what I've made...you should take a picture." :) Silly...but that's how I feel. Today I was in my garden (it needed weeding desperately) and I looked over at one of my plants. I had been worried that this plant wouldn't make it through the winter and was so glad when I saw all the new growth on it earlier this Spring. The sun was hitting it beautifully, but what I noticed took my breath away really. This little vine...a brand new one...had wrapped itself so tightly around the lattice it was up against. It was almost sweet (hey...I'm a girl...I think this way). Then I saw all the others that had done the same thing. They just knew to do that...it blows my mind. But it got me thinking. I need...want...to be like that with God. To wrap myself so tightly around Him because He is strong and stable...not easily shaken. I want to do it naturally too...like a little kid reaching up to take their parent's hand. Anyways...it might not make sense to you, but it does to me. It was my God moment and although I might not explain it well or be able to express exactly what it was that caught my eye, God spoke to my heart in that moment and I understood what He was telling me. Annddddd....I took a picture of it (on a side note...I'm more than caught up on my photos for the day...I just am posting all of them on my facebook fan page.).

oh i know...actually i don't know...it's been that long....

I haven't been avoiding my blog...or photography...I've just been super busy lately. Which has been great. I feel so beyond blessed right now and like I don't even deserve it. The pictures that I'm going to post are some of my new friends...they crack me up and I am so thankful for them. Enjoy! oh and there's a few random pictures too!

14 pictures for the past 14 days...and I still need 4 more!

I love my blog...I really do...my life has just become altogether busy. BUT! I like that. It's so awesome to see what God is doing in my life and in others' as well. I'm super excited for the new young adult group, Veritas, to start up. Thankfully, I'm able to volunteer and I am meeting some awesome people. You can't help but smile when you see all the people that God is bringing together and all the very "only God can do that" things that are happening specifically for Veritas. For me, it's like God has renewed my vision and I can see Him working in my life...it's soooo refreshing and encouraging. Needless to say that I'm happy. However, at the same time, I feel like this is that calm before the storm, and that something big is going to be just right around the corner. Haha...I'm not used to things going a certain way in my life. I'm not real sure how to react. :) I'm very thankful for this time in my life, especially after all the crap that has been going on in the last few months. Anyways, here are some pictures of very beautiful and very important people in my life. :)
