Slow!

Today has been so slow!! I spent the morning with my friend Chris and a few other hingepoint ladies. We went shopping for new toys for the children's ministry. fun fun. Now I'm working and its slow...

My picture is from Chris' I love her front door with the mailbox and her flowers. super cute.

Foodie Day

Today has been a lazy day indeed. I enjoy my day off every week. I was going to shoot at the Bridge today but they were having some sort of VBS deal so I figured (being a children's worker myself) it wouldn't be super appropriate to take pictures where children were present without permission. I was a little bummed. I'll have to save that for my last day! Luckily there is this cool building nearby that I was already planning on shooting so hence the picture for today!

I'm really loving this project. Its fun playing around...I just really need to learn how to use all the features on the camera I use.

Well today is good. Pretty much just watching food network all day and then cooking for my parents.

P.S. I'm loving the blog world!

Worry?Stress?

A lot has been going on lately. God is like "Hey Kristen...are you going to trust me?" I woke up this morning just in a mood. Like it was going to be a bad day, and sure enough the worry about the 50 million things i need to do popped into my head, and then i started worrying about all the BILLS coming up that need to be paid, and then I stress at work, I stress about how long the drive-thru line at Jack In The Box is taking, and then I stress about not having enough time!
Then i get to my book. Crazy Love by Francis Chan....and this is the page I'm on.

Worry implies that we don't quite trust that God is big enough, powerful enough, or loving enough to take care of what's happening in our lives.
Stress says that the things we are involved in are important enough to merit our impatience, our lack of grace toward others, or our tight grip of control.

Do you ever just say..."REALLY GOD? REALLY!"
Well needless to say I had an attitude adjustment, prayed for forgiveness and continued reading to come across this beauty

God has allowed hard things in your life so you can show the world that your God is great and that knowing Him brings peace and joy, even when life is hard.

Amen! Now for my picture today there is this awesome church right by where I work. I got a lot of great shots and had fun editing them. it was hard to choose!

Day 1

Today was crazy! I lost my keys at my parents so Jordan got to come pick me up for church...whoops. But this afternoon while he slept I was able to get some alone time to take my pictures for the day. I'm so excited for this year journey. Reason 1: its a great excuse to have some quiet me time specifically to do something I enjoy. Reason 2: Hopefully I will be able to improve my talent. Reason 3: I might be able to convince Jordan to get me a nice camera/computer!
