Miracles in Motion

    This seriously was so amazing and so beautiful. My sister participated in a program that was a dance program for mentally handicap children. She along with other high school volunteers helped teach these children how to do the dances. The volunteers were up on stage with the children while they performed guiding them in the right direction, encouraging them and showing them exactly what dance moves to do. When the children messed up it was okay because the volunteers were behind them doing the right moves and the children were able to follow them and be reminded of (over and over) which moves they were supposed to be doing! It was a beautiful sight to see. 
    As Christians we are kind of like these children if you think about it... we dont fully know what is going on, however the Lord knows and  is there for us, he sees the bigger picture and he leads us in the right direction. When we choose to follow his direction we do the right steps yet when we lose our focus we mess up but God is always right there always pointing us in the right direction. We just gotta follow his lead. We are not perfect by any means and that is evident, yet God loves us and wants to help us and be with us always.  

Lovely

I wish I could remember the song but they were dancing to a praise song. I cried through out the entire song.

Beautiful

Full of life

Genuine

Jesus loves us so much and generally they seem to just get that somehow... they have so much joy. 
I saw God's beauty through the way these children danced and essentially lived their life. Today was such a blessing to be able to see this.

Loves unconditionally

Emily and Chris TEDROW's wedding!

 A beautiful and wonderful wedding. They have so much love for one another and it is such a beautiful example and testimony of God's love. They both waited for the right one and at the right time the Lord brought them together. Wow. God is so amazing and I love these pictures!

First Dance

Chase's Birthday Party

My Spanish teacher from high school wanted me to take pictures of her son's birthday party. I decided that taking pictures of kids is REALLY hard. I am amazed that a few of these actually turned out pretty great! :)

The Rose

I walked in my kitchen yesterday and I saw that there was a rose on the table. I figured it was from my roommates boyfriend but I think I like the real story better anyway... She was walking home past a gardener and he turned around and said, "Oh, you are just the person I was looking for!" She wondered what he meant but then he handed her the rose and he told her to have a wonderful day. Wow, that really made her day and that story was really great. Gosh, even though that may seem small it really encouraged her and put a smile on her face. We have opportunities like this everyday to make peoples day and love and encourage people, even the people we don't know. We never know how far a small act of kindness can go. Also I truly believe that God places people in our lives to encourage us and show us that he loves us. I want to be one of those people that God uses to encourage others and show them His love. Little things go a long way! Here are some pictures of the rose.

The beachish

I love this place. I am doing my space paper on this space actually and it has a lot of good memories here! Here are a few pictures. I love the fall and the colors are beautiful! I don't think that these pictures do this place justice, but I like these!

November 11th

I didnt get to take a really good picture yesterday (on the 11th) which I am kinda bummed about because it is my last day of my challenge but that is okay! This weekend I get the opportunity to take pictures of one of my favorite high school teachers son! He is turning one and I was asked to take pictures of his birthday party so I will be putting up those next weekend! Soo I hope you kind of keep this blog going because I like doing it.

I like taking pictures and I am so glad that I was encouraged to do this. It was interesting because so much changed in my life even in thirty days and every picture is so different, just like the past thirty days. Some pictures are wayy better than others and some just are not as good. Like the pictures...some days were great and some were okay but that is how life is and we just need to decide how we are gonna handle each day. Are we gonna sit in our self pity and think about how awful our life circumstances are or be and stay stress oR are we gonna rejoice just because we have been given another day?! Life may be hard, some pictures are gonna be better than others, yet God is good and he has a purpose for each day.

Last picture of the 30 days!
