no, not mcdonalds. (though i am lovin that.)

but,

heres a few things that i've been lovin lately and treasuring in my heart:


"He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end." ecclesiastes 3:11

and this verse of ian mcintosh's song 'adoration':

"unmeasureable are my limits for I call You FATHER.
unimaginable my potential for You have called me son."


anyways, sorry to everyone about my photo lacking posts lately! i'm playing catch up a little here and then i'll be posting some awesome stuff- stay tuned for kristie and sergio's beautiful wedding and much much more! today is so nice out- and i'm spending the day reflecting on the glory of the King and how much He has changed me this year. wow.wow wow. thank you Jesus!

comfort food,

...for my heart :)


Love is here,
Love is now,
Love is pouring from His hands, from His brows
Love is near, it satisfies,
Streams of mercy flowing from His side

And to the bruised and fallen,
Captives bound, and broken hearted,

He is the Lord
He is the Lord

By His stripes He's paid our ransom
From His wounds we drink salvation

He is the Lord
He is the Lord

uh...

this made me laugh A LOT. yes, yes, we all know i'm weird. but you're the one reading my blog so what does that make you?! ; )

p.s., speaking of getting punched in the face- i feel someone is punching me all the time... in the face. turns out i have a sinus infection that is making my face explode. if anyone wants to pray for me and/or bring me boatloads of oranges filled with vitamin C goodness, i'd appreciate it : /

words of wisdom #307

good stuff.


"the shortest and surest way to live with honor in this world is to be, in reality, what we appear to be." - socrates


"As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received,"
- Ephesians 4:1

"But thanks be to God that, though you used to be slaves to sin, you wholeheartedly obeyed the form of teaching to which you were entrusted. You have been set free from sin and have become slaves to righteousness."
-Romans 6:17-18

"Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already been made perfect, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus."
-Phillipians 3:12-14

happy birthday to the most amazing woman i've ever known- my mom!



okay I had to post more pics. seriously how cute is my mom!? (my aunt too of course!, but) don't you just want to hug her?! i just love her to pieces. if you are a photographer reading this, take some photos of your mom or dad and you will see things about them in a different light (no pun intended) and appreciate them even more :D
