New Direction

I have been inspired and challanged to change the direction of my blog. Ever since I began writing on WordPress I’ve been committed to writing about life, troubles, joys, God and my daily realizations of His mysteries. Slowly but surely I believe He’s brought me to this point of using this as a new purpose in my life and therefore something new altogether for me. I would like to share my photography, write about it, and spill my heart out of God’s whispers in my sometimes hard-of-hearing ears. Please accept my adjustment and I hope it means as much to you as it does to me. My goal is to capture life in a photo or video and bring an explaination that will help you taste the life it brings.

It is fitting that my niece and sister are first. They have brought so much life and meaning to my life before I even knew the first thing about walking it out. My sister and I are very close and have come through so much together. Looking at this picture I can see our childhood, cries, and future now with Mia. She has expanded our sisterhood to pass down to the next generation…our babies. Although I haven’t had the absolute pleasure of touching little Mia’s sweet face, I know she knows me. I can hear her cry just as my sister and I have cried, I can hear her “speak” with no words just as my sister and I have always been able to speak without words. Mia’s “doll face” reminds me of our dolls, and its as though hers has come to life. A true and treasured soul that will sing Christmas carols just as you and I do, swing on a swing in the playground, dance to her favorite song with her daddy in the garage. These are life.

I said I would share my photography, and even though this is not my picture it is the most important picture to me in my life right now. I will have more come December, but for now this will do. 

Royalty

I am officially posting from my phone! Really different but I felt I’d be nice to have for moments like these (as though I post all the time…).  My computer charger is not alive anymore so I am waiting on that before I can use my computer.

I dreamed the other night that I was royalty. Nothing short of the queen of England but without ruling power. Just royalty. A woman in our small cottage town died and there was a giant bow on top of her house. They then told me I was royalty and she left her home to me and I was to live it from here on out. I stayed one night and then told them it wasn’t me, it couldn’t be who I was, and they had the wrong person. Of course, all were sad and disappointed…..and then I woke up. I woke up with the most incredible feeling in my heart of joy and love but no true understanding of what I had just dreamed. I still don’t understand, but its one of those dreams that I will never forget.
