Ephesians Bible Study

Ephesians 3: 20-21

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.

Hmmm... this Bible study was filled with SO much encouragement! I feel like I got to know these girl's hearts so much better. 

I think it was about 9:00-ish  when we drove to Cherry-Berry

Pictures, pictures...what would we do without them? ;]

Honestly, I think our group should've received the prize for the one's having the most fun. ;]

Sorry, Lil... had to post this picture. I think it's adorable!
Lily and I stayed up till 4:00 AM talking out hearts out to each other. It was such a sweet time. We learned so many things about each other. This is what friends are for... sharing laughter, encouragement, dreams and aspirations.
Love you, girl!

My peanut butter overload  icecream. #yumminess

Later we got back to the house and spent another hour or so of sweet meditation.
Later we got ready for bed and watched a movie. My name is Daniel. Fun movie.

The next morning we studied more. Ah... what an amazing time. I learned and gleaned so much from the Bible!

We went out for lunch. A group ate at Panera's and another at Panchero's.
Don't you just love these Panchero napkins?

Oh what a delightful weekend! Thank you, Annie dear for hosting this!

Wordless Wednesday

::A day in the sandbox::

Get excited!!!

Hello, people!

For all you "giveaway lovers" just droppin' a note to let you know that my fantabulously epic Chelsy, friend is having a giveaway! So drop by her little corner of blogger world and enter to win!!!

Stop.breathe.gasp...

Don't grow up...

How do they so easily grasp your heart?

A small three year-old with a personality as large as the world.

Syrup dripping from her face, she stops and flashes a smile as bright as the sun at you. Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.

innocence as beautiful as the moon, unaware of the darkness of this world. Stop. breathe. Gasp. Don't grow up.

She walks up to you and quietly slips her hand into yours and exclaims, "You're my best friend!" Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.

 She whispers in your ear, "I love you, Kaylee!" Stop. Breathe. Don't grow up.

 A little girl with two mis-matched flip-flops. 

A three year-old girl with the world at her hands... Stop. Pray. Protect her little heart. Lord... hold her tightly in the palm of your hands. Stop. Breathe. gasp.  Don't grow up.

Psalm 112:2

 Their children will be mighty in the land;
    the generation of the upright will be blessed.

:::A "pinteresty" day:::

It was a gorgeous day coupled with a beauteous wind, when three young ladies traipsed outside in hopes of a "perfect pinteresty" shoot...

::::::

Hmmm... where do I begin to describe this fantabulous day???... :]
I think one of the things that made this day so awesome was the fact that it was my first time using manual mode on my camera during a shoot [hollah!]. Woot woot!
::::::
The forecast had predicted rainy with overcast sky's for that day... It was really foggy in the morning too. But I prayed for a clear day and God was good... He even brought out the sunshine. Not a raindrop fell...
::::::
So many interesting things that happened that day! i.e- I had the brilliant idea of taking a couple pictures  of EB, with her guitar, in the ditch (there were some pretty weeds flowers in there :) A red car pulled up to the intersection of our street and just sat there for literally five minutes or more... we were all already thinking up an escape plan. I think someone said something to the effect of "Come on... we don't need to worry, if worse comes to worse, EB has her guitar!"
::::::
We all quickly learned how heavy a guitar in it's case can be and how heavy a trunk full of flutes, photo frames, and vintage cameras can also be while carried up and down roads.
::::::
EB's comment to me after I had made her sit in the middle of a fairly busy road for some pictures. [with a smirk/smile] "It's your turn now, Kaylee... I bet you'll look cute in the middle of the road too!"
::::::




Note: I took all the pictures of Elizabeth- my sister, Josie, took all the pics of EB and I together. And the picture with all three of us in it, my mother took.

Note: Long post ahead... and this isn't even all the pictures I took, people! [smile]

The night before our fun escapade I had googled to see if there were any abandoned tracks around where we lived... sure enough I found a long track that went through town. The next day we drove there and this is what we found... (see picture below) Apparently that was a very old google earth photo... :} 

Okay...gotta tell you the story of these train tracks. I know we look calm in this picture... but we're actually not exactly that. Dear mother (who was ever so gracious to drive us to this rail) had warned and prepped us that we needed to be very careful because a train could come along any second... and one did... we all decided after the train rolled by that it wasn't worth it... I suggested we go ask if there were any abandoned tracks around... so EB and I, in our Sunday's best, traipsed into a small building and we I asked if they knew of any abandoned tracks around and they kindly offered a studded track just behind their building. We were jazzed to say the least.

Picture taken by, EB

I'm posting this picture here so that EB doesn't feel bad about the two of her playing the guitar coming up... just thought I'd let you know. [wink]

Hmmmm... what a day... what a day!

I'll post a link to EB's blog as soon as her pictures of this day are posted!

Any favorites???
