My very own pictures :)
Sooooo....I said a while back that I would share some of my photos (because you've heard me talk about my favorite photographers and how I love photography and I want to be a photographer). Anyway...here are some for your viewing.
There's just a few :) Hope you like them. Let me know what you think. (Please be honest but nice.) Hope you have a blessed day!

Mac Lucado book expert "A Love Worth Giving"
Holah Ladies and Gents.
Soooo...on wens. night at church we're doing the DEVO A Love Worth Giving by Max Lucado. Anyway tonight we read something that just really stood out to me and paints a vivid image of what Christ really went through for me it just blew me away and really touched base with me. I dont think Im breaking any copy right laws or anything....I hope not (sorry Max! if I am) Soooo....here it is.
"Such love isn't easy. Not for you. Not for me. not even for Jesus. Want proof? Listen to his frustration: 'You people have no faith. How long must I stay with you? How long must I put up with you?' (Mark 9:19)
Even the son of God was handed plates of 'croak-ra' and 'gasp-aragus.' To know Jesus asked such a question reassures us. But to hear how he answered will change us.
How long must I put up with you?
'Long enough to be called crazy by my brothers and a liar by my neighbors. Long enough to be run out of my town and my Temple. Long enough to be laughed at, cursed, slapped, hit, blindfolded, and mocked. Long enough to feel warm spit and sharp whips and see my own blood puddle at my feet.'
How long?
'Until the rooster sings and the sweat stings and the mallet rings and a hillside of demons smirk at a dying God.'
How long?
'Long enough for every sin to so soak my sinless soul that heaven will turn in horror until my swollen lips pronounce the final transaction : 'It is finished.''
How long?
'Until it kills me.'
Jesus bore all things, believed all things, hoped all things, and endured all things. Every single one."
If that doesn't paint an amazing picture of what Christ did for us in your head then I don't know what will.
If that doesn't bring tears to your eyes, then I don't know what will.
If that doesn't make you want to strive to live your life in a way that will represent God so that you might possiblygive him the smallest fraction of what he gave you, then I don't know what will.
Think about it...Christ did all of that for you, and you complain because tellin strangers that Jesus loves them is akward. I know...I do it to. But hopefully at the very least this will make you stop, think, pray, say thank you, just do something.
