--// can we all just pause a second and enjoy the fact that it rained today? just lovely.
--// i've had 2 full days off this week. woah. it's nice.
--// i have FILLED my time over the past few days with opportunities to photograph some of my dear and lovely friends - oh, how they indulge me! i was feeling extremely photo-deprived since i had been super busy over the past weeks, so i needed to get back behind the camera. luckily for me, all of my friends are gorgeous and willing subjects! here's proof:
--// i have lots of fun plans this weekend! dinner with coworkers, catching up with two very important bethanys in my life, birthday celebrations, sharing some of what my Oma taught me, church, and i'm sure even more fun stuff will find its way into my plans! somehow i'm always super booked! but i love every minute of it :) the only thing standing between me and all of this fun stuff is one 10-hour work day...
--// my parents will be in the area on Monday, so, while my dad is at a conference for work, i get to have lunch with my momma!! i haven't seen her in a few weeks. i'm stoked.
--// God is kind of rocking my world a little bit. it's not so easy, but it's good and i know brokenness leads to new growth, which gives me joy in the process, knowing that what is ahead will be better and that everything the Lord does is for my good. what a joy to have such a Father looking over me.
--// i don't know if you're supposed to have a favorite book of the Bible, but if you are, mines 1 Peter. it's seriously SO good. this especially stood out to me the other day:
1 Peter 1:13-16
Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober minded, set your hope on fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, but as He who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, since it is written, "You shall be holy, for I am holy."
boom. good stuff, right?!
--// anyways, i'm feeling super blessed. lovin life. having a grand ol' time :) and here's more from today cuz my little is just an awesome photographer and they're all so fun, i have to share a couple more!
hope you all are having an awesome week too!!
love,
