My Hobby!! =)

Took this one at the soccer game on Saturday evening :)

So, if you know me at all you know I LOVE to take pictures!!!! This past summer I've really taken an interest in "photography". I hate to call it that because I am no where near being the kind of photography I wish I could be.  I'm not extrememly serious about it either.  I just have a basic digital camera, and if I happen to get a good shot of something I'll do some touch ups on it and be done with it.  I really wish I had the time/money to really get in to it and make it a part of my life. :) Just thought I'd share some of my favorites that I've capured in these past few months! :) I'd love to hear what you think! ;)

 

These next few are of my two favorite little men!!!!!! I love capturing pictures of them! They are so precious and so fun to be around and they have the sweetest spirits and I just love capturing the memories!

 I have never been a huge fan of "landscape" pictures, but lately I've been finding a great interest in them!!! =)

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I never realized how much I appriciated Fridays until today!
This past week has basically been CrAzY! 3 tests, 2 quizzes, 1 paper, other homework and also trying to still keep a social life :)  Lately I've been really discouraged about a lot of different things with stuff going on here at school and also some other different circumastances going on at home.  It's really been making want to go home even more.  So between the discouragement and stress going on this week has been rough.  And to make it worse, I've had a sore throat and a bad cough all week :/ No time for resting tho!

I did some thinking alst night about this week and realized all I've done has been complaining.  God really humbled em last night that I am blessed WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY more than so many other people on this world and even within this campus.  I had over looked the blessings that God gave me during my "terrible" week. Monday, I got a letter in the the mail from a friend. Tuesday I got a package from my parents and a candy bar and note of encouragement from my RA, Wednesday, I was blessed by many different testimonies and praises of God's awesomness in Prayer meeting, Thursday I got another package in the mail and a note on my bed from a friend just letting me know she is praying for me!!!!!! WOW!!!!!!!! God was giving me an awesome week and i totally over looked it!!! :(

God is doing great things in my life right now and I can't wait to see where the enxt few years have in store for me!! Yes, It's hard and stressed and discouraging at times, but God always has our best interest at heart!!! I love Him so much for that!!!!!

I'm now looking forward to a weekend jammed packed full of fun with friends!!! I can't wait!!!!!!!!!!!

So it's been a while since my last post, but I guess that's a good thing since I've been busy!  This past weekend were so full of fun and crazy experiences for me! Thursday we had a Vespers here at school.  It was AMAZING!  It was a short play about a Romanian man who escaped his home to get to America.  He later on in life got saved adn now lives here with his family in Greenville!!!  The man was actually here at school that night and it was really neat.

On Friday, BJU hosted the Washington Center Field Day.  It's basically a thing for children with special needs and they come and do little games and activities and such.  Since I am an Education Major I was required to help with it.  I walked around with a girl named Christina.  She was 12 years old, in 7th grade and couldn't do much of anything.  It broke my heart because she was just so pleasent the whole day!!! Her favorite thing to do was go listen to the music.  She likes anything with music/noise playing!

The rest of the weekend was jammed full of studying, shopping with friends, and just trying to enjoy myself :)  My sister's fiance offered to take me and some of my friends out shopping on Saturday and we really enjoyed that!

Then came Monday and I was beginning to REALLY stress out!!!! I had two big tests on Tuesday and was just extremely nervous about them :/ I studied for HOURS on Monday... every free second I had, I was down in the study lounge.  I came up to my room at about 9:30 and within 10 minutes I recieved an encouraging message from my mom just letting me know she was praying for me and I also got a phone call from my brother!!  If you don't know my brother at all, then this probably is wierd that I was so excited. haha He's not one for just picking up the ohone and calling his sister... but that night he did! we talked for about a half hour and it was great!!! i love and miss him so much!!!!

Throughout all of this craziness, I've been doing a lot of "random" thinking about how great my God really is!! I hear things all the time about Him and His wonderful deeds, but sometimes I don't take into thought on how AMAZING it really is!!!! I hear testimonies of people's lives every week and it's just so awesome to see that God is still at work in His people every day!!!! MY GOD truely is INDESCRIBABLE!!!!!! As I was thinking about this I was just in awe of how true it is... yes, God is awesome, and mighty, and extrordinary and the list could go on, but nothing really describes Him perfectly!!!! He's so great and powerful and amazing that it really is just Indescribable!! I feel like I'm just babbling now, but I just feel so overwhelmed by this :)
