52 Weeks>>Week One

For 2016 to keep creative in my photography, and to keep myself faithful to my profession & love I decided to do a 52 week project. One picture every week for a year. I asked a friend to join me, to keep me accountable and just because it's more fun to have a buddy do it with you. Two different perspectives on one word. I'm super excited! 

Week one.

::Twenty-Fifteen::

I don't even know where to begin. God is SO good!! Last year was incredible. A year of growth, goodness, new things. Thinking outside the box and outside the comfort zone. 

I would have to say "Serve with Joy" was my theme this year. For I learned what it meant to have joy in everything I was doing. Jesus is my one and only, my all and all. This year, he showed me more than I could ever hope to know. To think that this is only just the beginning! That there is more, yet to be content with the now.

                                                                          
::Work::

I have enjoyed working as an assistant manager at Family Christian but alas, all good things must come to an end. Our store will be closing January 26; it is so bittersweet! I am sad to be going but also very excited to see what God has in store next, for 2016. Thank you Jesus for bringing this job into my life. The people I have met within the company and those who I have come in contact with every day there have each held an incredible influence in my life. Thank you Jesus, for your purpose and plan! I had no idea when I started working there in December of 2014 what kind of opportunities I would have. The people I would meet! One in particular I want to mention is my dear friend Ciera. She works at another store so we met via phone conversations at work. We hit it of pretty quickly and we had Jesus conversations on the daily. 

I visited her store one day, and walked up to her saying "Give me a hug!" Needless to say she was a bit freaked out because she had no idea who I was! After "meeting" for the first time, we then got coffee and lunch one day and after that we became inseparable. She survived me. ha ha! Talk about ALL Jesus. I'm so thankful he brought this sweet friend into my life. I haven't known her that long but it feels like I have known her my whole life. We have shed tears together, prayed together, laughed together and had 3 hour long phone conversations. God has got amazing plans for her. She has such a heart to serve him. The best is yet to come my dear buddy. 

Look at that face. All the heart eyes!

::Family::

My brother and sister-in-law celebrated one year of marriage in July. We also found out they are expecting a baby girl next March! I am SO excited for Willow Jane to join the family. Also to take all kinds of pictures, hee hee. :) 

My sister Maddy is officially dating her best friend Nate. We love him & his family! He spends a lot of time over here with our family and she spends a lot of time over at his house. Excited to see where the Lord takes them! 

Maddy & Leah both are working at a daycare. They enjoy taking care of the little kids so much. Leah enjoys having money now...ha ha! ;) 

The younger kids are all busy with school, sports, church, friends, and other activities. 
Mom & Pops are both still madly in love and being the best parents God could give us. Grateful for their lives and influence. 

                                                                                                         ::Other Happenings::

Me and my sister Leah went with some friends to the Creation Museum in Kentucky. It was so neat there, and such a great reminder of God's redeeming love! Here are some photos from that summer day.

Our family get together's include Euchre tournaments, food, laughter, coffee, and a whole lot of people!

365 Project

Week Two

January 8th-January 14th

January 8th

We had a lot of snow, cold weather and ice last week. I spent most of my days off work inside and cozy with my family. I managed to go out on the porch one day and look for some inspiration.

January 9th

This picture can accurately describe the evening. We had a game night with friends 16+ people in our house. Card tables were set up, Catch Phrase was passed around, and snacks were consumed. I attempted to snap of few photos of the craziness but the ones that came out were from my shaky hands and were unfocused. The purpose is to push myself to take a photo each day. Accomplished.

January 10th

As soon as I walked in the door after work my siblings announced we were going out to try a new little restaurant with friends. Our cousin Hannah and her little boy also came up for the day and stayed the night. My brother and sister-in-law ended up crashing at our place again as well, so we had a full house! It was fun, lots of good memories.

January 11th

A co-worker invited me over to watch the Colts game. I made fruit pizza and had an awesome time getting to know some of her family.

January 12th

Snapped this with my cell phone in the car to send to a friend. The next day I was upset because I suddenly realized that I didn't take a photo....then I remembered I took this. Ha ha it's better than nothing!!

January 13th

I started a Biblical Theology class Tuesday. Two of my sisters, and two of my friends are taking it with me. We all rode together and are all so excited to see what the Lord has in store for us each week as we learn!

January 14th

The Lord has been teaching me so much lately. I'm so thankful for his Word. I'm thankful for the Holy Spirit, who guides us and leads us. I'm thankful for where I live, where I work, where I'm at. I'm thankful for the people that step in my life. God always knows what is good, right and perfect for us. I love Him so much.
