Get this: You Are Wanted

Get this: You Are Wanted

You crave love. You long to be accepted. You want to feel encouraged. You want, want WANT! This post is inspired by Robin Jones Gunn and Alyssa Joy Bethke's book, "Spoken For". The titles of these posts are directly taken from the book (with a little modification on my part) each a reflection of how [...]

Where’s my Watch?

Where’s my Watch?

I lost my watch after countless reminders of where it could've been. Where was I? What did I wear? Where could I have placed it? I couldn't remember much of what happened the day I lost my watch, other than it was the day I got a piece of steel stuck in one of my tires, [...]

You’re an Overcomer!

You’re an Overcomer!

Monthly snapshots of the healing process of my scars. Right before surgery I admit, the photos taken of my knee before and after surgery were hard to look at.

A Day at the Park

I had the privilege to spend a weekend in July with my godson, and captured such adorable portraits of him. This little man's been practicing his walking, and these photos were taken BEFORE he started walking on his own. It's now August and he's walking and dancing! So much can happen in 1 month eh? [...]
