Well this morning I wanted to talk to my married couples or couples planning on getting married. Marriage is not a simple thing and should not be taken lightly. Not only will god be looking over you in favor but others will as well. Marriage is to be a life long agreement and so when looking at a lifelong agreement I think we should think of how we want our life in this agreement to be as we would in our everyday life. Every action has a reaction so think of the things that you post on your social networking sites, what you say to other people and honor your mate. You love them and that is why you want to marry them.

When you are in a marriage this lifelong agreement remember it is lifelong so there maybe some parts that get a little boring or repetative this is when marriage gets fun because you have to get creative. Finding new meals to cook new games to play and different activities for the mom and dad but also the kids. Marriage alone is enough to keep you occupied so keep outside distractions to a minimum. Focus on keeping your family strong because they are your family and in the end they will be the ones you rely on.

Many people look at happy couples and think it is an easy task and it is as long as you keep a few things true: God first and Family second. God will help you through the bad times if you just look to him and ask. Keep your mind clear of distractions that won't help you. Be patient and have faith.

To my military families I am one of you and while you have to be strong for yourself be strong for your family. Figure out how to keep your sanity while in your moment, life is about change so keep your bible handy and get ready for the change. There will always be a military spouse that will b ether to feel you in your struggles so if you need to talk you know where to find one.

Be blessed today know that as long as you communicate and give the appropriate attention to the things of importance in your life you will receive the reward!

What have you done that makes yourself or your parents proud.

"There's a voice that cries out in the silence,
searching for hear that will love him,
longing for child that will give him their all,
give it all, he wants it all"

--Forever Jones
He wants it all

When is the last time that you gave anybody or anything your all. Why don't we give everything our all? Is it because it is exhausting or fear is keeping us in a comfortable spot. I challenge you to not only think about what you give your all too but if you can't figure it out the then focus your energy on that. Make yourself and your parents proud.

Remember you are worth it he did it for you. Make it (his words) personal because it is personal.

"But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8
and
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." Jon 3:16

GIVE YOURSELF CREDIT!

I want us all to take the time to give ourselves credit for understanding and realizing that we are not happy with something in our lives. To make something better we first have to realize there is a problem so then we can problem solve. Don't get down (unless your dancing lol). Today is only the first day and it is the hardest day.

Set short term attainable goals. Get pictures of where you want to be and Get Focused! If you realize you are making a change for yourself make all of your movements for yourself. It is amazing to wake up not relying on someone else to motivate you so my tip for the day is to get up workout or pray do both but get up and get energized for the day.

"Excuses are tools of incompetence building monuments to
nothingness on piliars of insubstantialities
Thos that employ this theory or its practices
are seldom capable of anything but....
EXCUSES!!!"

--unknown

Today I woke up and I know that nobody else is going to make or help me to succeed so I wake up with my music (Tyler Perry Jesus will fix it (madea's family reunion, Kirk Franklin and Hero, and Pink Dear Mr. President, and Michael Jackson) and get on my elliptical for 20min. I finish read my bible and get ready for my children to get up. Remember that you can do it. You can reach all of your goals. You can be happy and you can love your life here. Remember to serve God! Try to be like him and make your father happy.

"Our Deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You ar a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you.

We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It is not just in some of us; it is in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others."

----Marianne Williamson

Today wake up and do something for someone else by doing something for someone else! You will feel great not for just the moment for hours, days, months, and years to come.

I give all glory to God and say thank your.

My prayer before I read my bible
:
"Father God please forgive me for my sins, Please help me to understand your word so I can get closer to you, to know you, to understand you, to love you with my whole heart. Amen"

I found a great blog about Lighting

So we all love light but I know myself included we would like a lighter way of using light. I found this blog spot for the Strobist and I thought someone might find it interesting. Have fun!

BUSY WEEK

So we (the kids and I) head back to ga on tuesday and I tell ya time sure does know how to fly. I didnt get nearly as much done as I wanted but can say I did pretty good for all the activities going on. Celebrating two birthdays, trying to get to two deliveries, ladies night out, my documentry project, school, two extra kids, rental cars, paying rent, and the list goes on. So really i just wanted to touch base with the blog because it has been a few days. i will be ranting and raving by next week as school will be ending for three weeks.

So Random

So today was a great day because I remembered both of my appointments and added an impromptu photoshoot with Mr. and Mrs. Jackson's grandchildren. I have to say for last minute they do very well.

As a side note why do we put up with so much from random people but are so fast to give up on our family members. We have our time here on earth and have no ideal how long we have here so I ask why do we not speak with our loved ones and then cry and regret everything when they pass? Why don't we end today with happy thoughts of our family members and try to mend our tattered relationships? Till tomorrow excited to blog about my session of portraits in the park!

Cellular Blogging?

Guess who is blogging on her phone? I AM! So many others have been doing this for so long but i am proud of myself. I managed to get some homework done make an entry into the blog and book a job for saturday with the Zeeb family! So excited they are so amazing and beautiful. Now if i can only remember my meetings tomorrow;)

I had the pleasure of photographing twins this last sunday and I have to say Elijah is a natural. They both did fabulous though and mommy and daddy have their hands full.

So much going on!

Well who would know how crazy busy and hard a two year old and a five year olds birthday would get? We had two jumpers, horse rides, pictures, pinata, snowcones, two cakes, pizza, hotdogs, hamburgers, and chicken. It was hectic! They were so happy though. As a family we have to figure out doing two parties a month instead of a party every weekend. Enjoy some pictures!
