Faithful

My life is going a million miles a minute.

God is still here. 

He has not moved. Not one inch. 

He has not stopped loving. He has not stopped giving. He has not stop forgiving. 

Even when I don't speak, He knows. 

I am weak. He is Strong.

How does someone love so deeply, so sacrificially? 

Maybe He believes that if He loves us hard enough we will one day give him back that same love.

He is ever-patient.

Can I be what He deserves? 

He believes I can. That should be enough. 

Press on towards the goal He tells me.

Press on. 

Press on. 

Press on. 

I am weak. He is Strong. 

The Lord is my Strength. 

I decrease.

He increases.

He keeps holding on.

He never gives up.

He is teaching me

Faith.

He 

is 

Faithful.

Birthday Adventures

 

So we started off in Arkansas camping in the Ozark National Forest. Quite the adventure because we ended up not doing what was planned but it turned out to be perfect. Nothing to do, no real trails, in the middle of nowhere but just right. We made a fire, read books, played cards, listened to animal sounds, bushwhacked, etc. I love the woods... it was so nice to be able to get away from society for a few days. Even just those few days gives you cultural stress when you get back. Here are some pictures:

Our second part of the trip was flying to Denver, CO for a business trip. Kevin and his boss were meeting with a client so their significant others came along too! FRESH air, warm sun, cool breezes, and surrounded by incredible mountain ranges. Although the weather was slightly colder there it didn't take away from the beauty of it. Definitely take the time to visit Colorado it is such beautiful retreat. Here are some pictures:

Been so long...

It has been so long since we have last posted! My goodness.

It's spring and beautiful out! Kevin and I started our garden and now just have to plant the goodies! We have planted the garden in his grandmother's backyard so we will be able to visit with her quite a bit this summer which will be so nice.

I was able to take engagement photos for my friends Janie & Scott in order to build up my portfolio. It was fun and I learned a lot. I'm looking forward to a photo shoot with the Davis Family and their new born.

We are headed to Arkansas to go camping this weekend for my birthday and then on Sunday we will leave for Colorado! Kevin has a business trip and I was able to go along! How amazing is that! It will only be for a couple of days but I am so pumped! It is so beautiful there and I haven't been in a long time. I'm ready to go back and fall in love again! haha.

I'll post pictures as soon as we get back from all our adventures!

Tomorrow is Earth Day... Please take care of God's creation and enjoy it!

Cold Apartment Day

Our apartment is FREEZING today! How does this happen... one day we can't function because the heat is overwhelming - windows open, walking around in summer clothes, can't sleep... and the next day it's freezing! BAH! so glad to have this apartment don't get me wrong but some consistency would be nice. haha.

Well, i'm looking forward to Spring when you are supposed to have your windows open!

One more thing, today at the grocery store I decided that I really like the old school grocery stores with the old men who bag your groceries. The happiest old man bagged my groceries today! It made me smile to see this old man joyful in what he was doing. You look down the line to the young people bagging and they look bored and irritated. I prefer the old men! hahahaha...

Who's Says you Can't Have fun when your Sick!?

I've been having a horrible time being sick over the past few days. I have a heavy head cold and praying it doesn't turn into a sinus infection. Well, my mom told me about this thing called a Neti Pot... I had seen my aunt do it and it kinda creeped me out. I don't really like the feeling of water in my nose. Well, after my Mom assured me that it doesn't hurt I decided to get it.

I never knew I could have so much fun being sick! hahahaha! Check out a picture of me and my new best friend, the Neti Pot. By the way, in the picture i'm not really doing it right, just wanted to show you how well we get along! Also check out the video below. This guy is hilarious and gives you a good idea of how to use it.

I totally recommend the Neti Pot to all you readers out there who are struggling with the "late winter sniffles". Get rid of the cold before it turns for the worst!
