That can wait...

-
I was taught, in sunday school i am sure, that God answers three ways: Yes, No and Wait.  For me wait is probably the big one i hear all the time. At least i interpret it to be that cause things don't seem to move on my time line. This lesson is a lifelong one for me i have come to decide....and now with my son i feel wait is what i like to do. 

Shower....that can wait til he is snug in bed for the long sleep stretch
Food....that can wait til shepherd is content from his meal or sleeping 
Potty....that can wait until my bladder pops :) 
Fashion style ...that can wait til i don't have spit up on me 24/7
Rereading Hunger Games for the umtenth time...that can wait ....well :) 
Living on the land we purchased.....that can wait til we save our goal amount
My plan....that can wait on the Lord to give me the next step

Some of these i am sure people would say i am crazy for waiting to do...but when i am playing with my son or rocking his tears away or snuggling to sleep... i dont' think about what i am missing...i just see God's love streaming thru me to him and i tear up and cant believe how lucky i am...that i "waited" for Kimmel....and that we "waited" for Shepherd. 

I can say that some things are way easier to wait for than others. I can also say that no matter what the answer is to my prayers God is so faithful to either change my heart to his will or give what i prayed for. 

But those who wait on the LORD Shall renew their strength; They shall mount up with wings like eagles, They shall run and not be weary, They shall walk and not faint 
Isaiah 40:31

The awesome thing is that verse is so true! He does give you strength when you wait on Him and his will. It is a refreshing thought to know that our Lord asks us to do something difficult and fills us up while we do it! He doesn't take but strengthens! 

What are some things you 'waited' for? We can be thankful for the journey while we wait or waited. 

Oh and PS wait is one of those words that after you type or reread several times you think you spelled it wrong so please forgive if i did :)

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
