this is only a test....

-
so i was wondering,,,what keeps me from going insane! i mean if you really think about life...it seems to continually repeat itself from day today...like i hate to even refer to this movie but Groundhog's Day with that funny guy whose name escapes me as i type...it is an annoying movie and i don't like it...but sometimes i feel like we are like that...each day we wake up to the same issues, problems, joys and friends...but its how we look at the day that changes things right...i mean once he got to the point of knowing that the day would repeat nomatter what he did he started having fun...punching people...trying to die...just changing the answers to the test for the day...the only question i have is how do we know when we are done and pass a certain test....like he knew when he woke up with the girl he liked...and heard the next day on the radio...so who has the answer sheet...who lets us know when we have passed the test for the day...do we even acknowledge that we are being tested or aware that we need to be proactive in life??
ulitmately God has the answers...sees the past present and future that seems to muddle together for us in to today...we plan prepare, regret and try to change...its a cycle that never ends until we pass away...so is there a way in which i can get permission to pass on these tests...i don't think my heart and emotions can always handle it...but then i know that is a lie b/c God has created me and is with me to endure anything that this life throughs my way....so i guess what i ask for and need is prayer...focus and filter...watching what i put into my mind, heart and soul...what i give back to others and my time with God! I CANNOT BELIEVE THE LIES THIS WORLD SPITS AT US EVERYDAY IN EVERY FAUCET OF LIFE!!!! together we must pass the test of time...together we must seek truth and share truth...for it is only the TRUTH of God that brings freedom!!!

As mentioned in the last entry of this blog i bragged about how Dad is taking care of me and just making things light and easy and fun for the wedding. Yesterday Andrew and i went and took pictures with a friend of ours. And she took us to the grapevine train station, a field, a strange house, and to the lake where he proposed. We laughed, kissed, hugged, laughed and tried to stay warm. It was so much fun! Ellie was a bit nervous cause the temperature was like in the 50's. But the sun and sky was perfect so she said if we were game she was game. So we did! Ended up with like 200 pics....she wittled them down and gave me 160 some. They are all sooo good...it was hard to pick my fave. I am so thankful for her, her talent and her willingness to do this with us! I may put a link to the folder...but not sure just how....so bear with me! :)

Valentines Day

I was curious as to where Valentines day came from and this is what i found. There are varying opinions as to the origin of Valentine's Day. Some experts state that i t originated from St. Valentine, a Roman who was martyred for refusing to give up Christianity. He died on February 14, 269 A.D., the same day that had been devoted to love lotteries. Legend also says that St. Valentine left a farewell note for the jailer's daughter, who had become his friend, and signed it "From Your Valentine". Other aspects of the story say that Saint Valentine served as a priest at the temple during the reign of Emperor Claudius. Claudius then had Valentine jailed for defying him. In 496 A.D. Pope Gelasius set aside February 14 to honour St. Valentine. Gradually, February 14 became the date for exchanging love messages and St. Valentine became the patron saint of lovers. The date was marked by sending poems and simple gifts such as flowers. There was often a social gathering or a ba

Photo shoot with Mabry Family

This past saturday was my first official photo shoot, meaning not really close friends, was really nervous to do it. Andrew came with me and was my voice of direction. I picked the same spot a friend of ours took our engagement pictures, main street Grapevine. We went a bit early to the spot and marked some places we thought would work, and talked out what positions might be good. With his strong voice he commanded them into spots! :) It was fun and the weather was perfect for it. Andrew had gotten me a new lens in time for the shoot so i was super pumped and so thankful it made it in time. There were a couple times that i forgot to change the setting and was like OH NO! Let's try that again!  I think they like it and are happy with it. A mutual friend has already asked me to take pics of her and her hubby. Now i am just waiting for my label to be created so i can look even more official! This is a fun hobby that i am excited to chase after! Click Here for more pics
