Oh Photo

Photography is probably one of my biggest weaknesses. I literally can't even go an hour without being inspired to snap a picture of something. It is one of my top hobbies, (other than writing music which is my very top hobby ;]) and definitely very enjoyable.

Walks With Color

The joy of autumn consists of long walks with your dog as a companion, bright colors that catch your eyes, crisp air, bright blue skies, and collections of colorful leaves <3

Autumn Feelings

A few of my favorite things in the Autumn time...

Plaid shirts, hot coffee, brown boots, my doggy, leaves, and much more! Happy Fall! Write me a comment some of your favorite Fall things :) All Glory to Jesus Forever!

Summer Has Not Ended Yet!

Most people by now, since its in the middle of September, have all their fall sweaters out and are cracking open the pumpkin spice candles and tea. Its FALLLL!
But, you see, I'm refusing to call it fall yet. Why?! Because guys, summer went wayyy to quickly! There wasn't far enough hot evenings, and beach days. Where did the summer go?! School already?! Let's be real. I'm a summer girl at heart. Come on, who really likes school starting in September??? Cozy sweaters when there COULD still be days of hot weather?!
I'm gonna keep it summer as long as I can. So that means, still wearing shorts and summer tops (yes, even if its cold) until October. Don't judge. October will come soon enough.
I love my warm summer.

That means going barefoot around the house without socks, wearing dah flip-flops leaving the house, and keeping my closet full of bright colors and no brown boots yet ;)
Sooo...that's where I'm at in this lovely summer September weather :)  how about you?

Tenth Avenue North

Last night I got to go to a FREE Tenth Avenue North concert with some friends! I was sooo pumped! A church was holding it for all the youth groups around and for teens. It was free and a time to reach out to the community!

It was an awesome concert! I've always liked Tenth Avenue North, but never have been like "Oh my goodness! They are my FAVORITE band!"
Well, after this powerful concert I believe my opinion of them has changed and now they are like my favorite band as people. Their passion for Christ and bringing Him glory above all is amazing and that is my favorite part about them. Their mindset is to be reflectors of Christ, not be on the stage so everyone can applaud them. They said this so many times over the night and I appreciate that so much. We need more bands that say "Yeah the lights, the fun music and all the special effects are great. But do NOT let that take away from worshiping the King. He lives and He is to be praised not us up on this stage."
It was powerful. And their passion to bring people to the foot of the cross is truly amazing. Exactly what my passion is for my music too. I write music so others can see Jesus. Have moments with the King of kings.

Great concert! Who likes Tenth Avenue North out there???! Write a comment below if you like them or never heard of them (: All glory to God!

P.S. I apologize if my pictures seem very blurry. I'm still saving for a camera (since mine decided to crash awhile ago) and the only source to capturing moments is through my phone's camera that stinks. But I'm glad it least I'm not completely desolate from photography ;) With that said, enjoy the blurry pictures and make sure to comment and make my day! (;

The Black Horse In The Mountains...

Percheron love <3

Music

I love my piano God has blessed me with...<3

In God We Trust

Happy 4th of July! Hope you all are having a special day in fellowship with family and friends.
With all the cherries we picked, mom made a beautiful cherry pie! She is the best! And I look forward to spending the day eating pie and grilling out with my family then going to the beach to watch fireworks with friends!
What are you doing today?

"One Nation under God..." Without God, we are a nation gone under. Let us hold fast to God our Father, and trust in Him...
 

Cherries!

Today my mother brought home a huge bucket of lovely, bright red and shiny cherries! I've never seen such beautiful berries!
A friend of ours has cherry trees loaded with delicious tempting cherries. And they told mom to pick as many cherries as possible for they were going to waste!
So my dear mother took the pleasure of picking away at the yummy little tart berries.

My night was spent at the sink slaving away (not really, I enjoyed every bit of it) taking the pits out of the little rosy red berries. And once in awhile popping the "not-so-beautiful-looking-cherries" in my mouth ;) so satisfying during my "hard work" ;)

 

Tomorrow will consist of pitting more cherries, making cherry pies and cherry jam.
I am thankful today for, fellowship with friends and family. For delicious fruit that satisfies your fruit-craving ;) for beautiful weather God creates, and for God's everlasting love that awes me every day...What are you thankful for today?
All glory to God forever!
A Servant 4 Christ,
