Photo Shoot

My cousin is a photographer, and she is putting together a book with the owners of a European boutique and a salon. I had the pleasure of modeling an outfit from the boutique. I don't have the professional pictures, but I just love this pic. I took it, and it kills me that it's blurry!!

 Had my hair and makeup done! Not even sure why I love this pic, but I do! ha!

Sporting the fake eyelashes!

There are so many things I could post here.

Lots to tell.

Much I can't tell.

Life has taken an interesting road lately.

Clinging ever so strongly to Exodus 14:14...

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only be still."

 

So thankful for the ways the Lord has been showing His faithfulness to me. "Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today." Ex. 14:13

Here..worth the listen

I just downloaded Kari Jobe's new CD, Where I Find You. Seriously SO worth it! Listen and fall in love with the Lord all over again. Amazing. Beautiful. Truthful. I love it!

a peace that passes understanding

If you run in the Christian circle, you undoubtedly know the phrase "a peace that passes all understanding". It's taken from Phil 4:7.

I have been thinking a lot about this phrase...and the responsibility that comes with it. As we walk through life's circumstances, we face trials. Those who don't know the Lord watch us closely. They want to know how we will handle situations. Will we crumble? Will be hold on to Jesus? Or will be grumble and complain like many? We have the choice to make and a testimony to uphold.

When I find myself in a trial, I worry. I allow my mind to race, play out different scenarios, and oftentimes become physically ill. I deny that peace the Lord gives us. It's almost a minute by minute battle that I have with myself and the Lord.

But as a Christian do I not have the responsibility to show the strength of the Lord? That even when I am facing something difficult, I can still find peace? But at the same time, I want to be real about the struggle.

I am finding myself in this place of figuring out the balance. How do I grasp onto His peace without hiding the mere fact that it's difficult. How do you explain that to nonbelievers and maintain His name?
