Photography

In honor of my new professional-esque camera, here are some photos (unedited might I add) of my first day using it! I am so excited to learn all the new features and can't wait to drive up to the mountains to photograph the trees changing colors for Autumn!

Happy Thanksgiving!

Psalm 103

How amazing is God's love! Like this verse says, he "redeems [our] life, crowns [us] with love and compassion, and satisfies [our] desires with good things". 

Just like each one of these flowers is completely different and uniquely beautiful in their own way, so is each and every person. 

Apart from adding the text from this photo, nothing else has been modified or edited. In fact, these flowers are so completely beautiful that they don't need any altering or added touches. 

This is how God sees each and every person; beautiful the way that they were created; no airbrushing necessary. 

That is why I love Psalm 45:11 so much. This verse truly encompasses God's nature and the way that He views us, despite what we might think or choose to believe. 

It says that he is ENTHRALLED by our beauty. 

The dictionary says that to enthrall means 'to captivate or charm' and includes 'enchant' as a synonym. 

How incredible is it to realize that God is captivated by us?? 

It is such a wonderful reminder that we are simply beautiful in God's eyes, and that our creator is 'enthralled', captivated, charmed by our beauty. 


My hope is that you truly feel beautiful; not just today, but everyday, and that you can look to God's definition of beauty, rather than the world's definition of what 'beautiful' means. 

"He will take great delight in you"

I came across this verse today and just love it. What a great reminder of how God sees us! 

What is Faith?

This verse captures entirely what FAITH is about. There are constantly times in our lives when we have to have FAITH even when we can't see the whole picture. 

Martin Luther King Jr., possibly one of the most persevering persons in history, once stated that 

"Faith is taking the first step even when you can't see the whole staircase"
