365 Day Photography Project/Challenge


This will be a challenge!!  This feels a little daunting.  I know that I already post a lot of my life on Instagram but I have never posted every day!  A couple of my acquaintances or people that I follow have tried to do this, and I have always been intrigued to do it, but out of fear that I wouldn't be able to follow thru with it, I would get intimidated and decide not to do it.  Not this year of 2018.  Why not this year?  I don't REALLY know other than a few things that seem to be standing out to me.  A big one is that I'm really getting into my camera!!  I want to use it every day.  I want to learn how to capture the little every day stuff in my life and the big moments, things with my kids and our ministry.  I'm as beginner with my camera as they get!  So often i'm unhappy with how a picture turns out or the lighting wasn't quite right or Adelyn didn't stay posed the way I wanted her to (hahahaha), so to all you camera professional... I will take all the advice you have to give.  I'm a sponge and I want to learn.

I think another reason is that I have a lot to say, I have a lot going on in my heart and life.  I want to have a voice in my story.  I have always strived to be transparent, honest, and authentic.  Opening up like this is scary and allows for criticism, but I have never been good at hiding what I'm thinking or feeling.  I think this challenge will be a good place for me to channel some of that.  Sometimes it will ignite a blog post and sometimes I'll just post a picture (on my Instagram account @livinbcofgrace ).  So, good or bad, hard days, long days, great days, and life... bring on 2018!!  Now would be the time to unfollow me if you don't want to see BUT I invite you along on my journey if want to be apart or see what I have to say.  Come, lets figure out what this year looks like, thru my lens and my point of view.

Dishes.... Ugh!!!

Image
I think everyone has that one chore in the house that they hate to do. If you know me at all, you know it is dishes! I ablosolutly despise doing the dishes. I let them pile up for a couple of days before i do them cuz I just don't like doing them. I hate doing them so much that there are times when i will talk myself out of cooking or baking something cuz i just don't want to have to do the dishes after! I would rather clean a bathroom and do major spring cleaning before doing the dishes. But it just so happens that the dishes is something that HAS TO get done. It is one of those gross things if you let them go to long. So here are some pictures that show what my sink looks like at least everyday or every other day if i haven't been cooking. It's gross, I know! What can i say :/ There is something that you need to understand. I grew up in a very well kept home. My mother is the best home-maker and hostess i have ever met!! She kept a very tiddy house and did a go...

Remembering Memories

Image
Most of you know and are involved enough in our life that you know we are going thru a major transition in our life. Bryan has resigned from his position as youth pastor at our church, Foot of Ten Bible Church. Its really not necessary, nor do I want to go into detail about what brought us to this decision. Those that are close to us and care have asked and know the reasons. Let me just say that it was philosophical reasons and we could no longer support the direction the church was headed. Bigger issues too that we weren't willing to compromise on. We are not at odds with the senior pastor, there was just no unity, so it made sense that we step down. If you have further questions, please come and talk to us, we do want to keep that open! That said and out in the open, our whole life begins to change! Everything that I have known about our married life and my kids life has been at this church and in this house. By leaving this job, we lose not only our way of life but al...

Catch Up: When the Unexpected Happens Part 2

Image
I'm finally able to talk about all of it, all that God has worked through my heart up until this point--all the ugly, all the hurt, all the good, and all to His glory! My story isn't finished, but let me catch you up. I hurt! And I hurt bad with the loss.  I had opened my heart up to a new life, a new love.  This baby was precious to me already.  I struggled through understanding what God was doing.  Would He give us life only to not allow that life to develop?  But I never questioned why.  I had grappled through the sovereignty of God when we got pregnant, so it was easy to move that thought process over to apply to this.  I understood that what God does, doesn't always make sense or meet up with my plans, at least I thot I understood this concept.  Coming to grips that this baby was never mine, that in fact none of my kids are, was also something that became real to me.  That reality is a hard reality to accept as they feel so much mine, ...
