I am trying to be a more crafty person. This was inspired by my new love for photography. I recently got a new camera (wedding present from Rick), and I didnt know that it would oh so quickly become an addiction! I love to take pictures of anything! I very rarely go anywhere without my camera!! But for some reason a strange new side effect of this addiction has emerged...my need to feel crafty. I really have never felt like a crafty person and I still would not consider myself crafty, but hey I am trying. Here is my latest creation

I was really excited about it! Everyone had something cute hanging on there door so I thought why not make something and it actually turned out better than I thought!



Rick and I went to a park this past Saturday so that he could do some rock climbing. There is really nothing appealing to me about hanging backwards off of a cliff backward by a rope so therefore usually I just watch, but this time I had my trusty camera with me and I found myself completely distracted by how beautiful outside it was and also how many things I usually miss when I am outside! I found myself worshiping such an amazing creator as I was walking around taking pictures of things that are so simple yet scream the name of Jesus! 

When I saw this I prayed for our country and its leaders.We are so blessed to live in a country where we can worship freely; however, we are a nation consumed with sin! The best gift that we can give to the leaders of this nation is to pray for them! God has so richly blessed us!!

My buddy climbing! He is such a big kid. I love that about him! God has blessed me so much with such a Godly man to lead me! I am so thankful for Rick!
