reflections

As I reflect on this year, I can't help but be a bit giddy. It warms my heart to look through these images and see joy and sweet memories. I am so thankful to be part of your life and to capture moments that you will remember forever. I can't say it enough. Thank you.

Over this past year, God has shown His faithfulness and His delight in me. I love that! I love how He delights in us and I am amazed that I can't even begin to understand why. I am just thankful for everything He is and everything He gives.

This year, I asked God for so many things. I asked Him to reign in my life. I asked Him to show me who I really am in Him. I asked Him to give me a heart of praise. I asked Him for friends who would sharpen me like iron sharpens iron. I asked Him to show me more of His love in my marriage. I asked Him to give me a heart that longed for His desires. and what did He do? He amazed me. So let's rejoice in this new year because of the life He has given us.

Much love!

Blessings to you!

a colorful winter : part 2

Bare tree tops glow as they catch the sun. Fresh air is drawn in and I just breathe. Eyes begin to sparkle as the sun disappears beyond the horizon. I am once again fascinated and I rejoice in Him. I want to know how to rest in Him. I want to know how to enjoy Him even more. I want people to see Him instead of me. because God is my everything. and I am all His forever. He is inspiring my every breath.

My sisters are visiting their cousins this week and I am missing them like crazy so I decided to blog the second part of Jianna's lovely session. We had just finished up braving the alleys of Bolivar when we had an idea. 

Skittles. 

so enjoy our skittles inspired shoot. complete with laughter and sisterly love!

look at all this COLOR!

 yum..

she has a bit of an attitude. and yes, it's absolutely adorable.

Jenna and Jianna packed up all their toys and clothes to send with us on our trip to El Salvador this summer. Two of the girls who received bracelets and stuffed animals sent a toy of their own home with us to give to the girls. Just thinking about it makes me choked up. The ribbon board is holding an image of the two girls and a Christmas card. 

I had to include this image because it is so sweet. They have nothing and they would give everything. so much love.

Jianna, you are a sweet, sweet girl!

more of that attitude!

and some sister love to end on!

Blessings to you this Friday!
