Day 29 - A picture of the person who has gotten you through the most.

I don't have a picture of God...but I must say that He is the one that has shown me time and time again through good times and bad that He is my rock. 

My all in all.

My Savior. 

My Best Friend. 

At times it seems as if nothing is going right and everything that could possibly go wrong is happening, in the midst of that storm when I cry out for His mercy and grace, He is able and willing to grant me that peace that nothing in this word can fulfill. 

Thank you, God, for being there for me...always.  <3 :)

Day 28 - A picture of something that has made a huge impact on your life recently.


This blog post is dedicated to my beau. :)  Although there have been many people and experiences that have greatly influenced my life, especially the relationship I have with my Savior, I must say that the  person that has made an impact on my life most recently would be my beau.

It started with a dream.  A young girl's dream, in fact.  My dream.  A dream of one day meeting the person who not only shares the same love and dedication to our Heavenly Father, but also someone who would encourage me and draw me closer to my Prince. 

Flash forward a few years and that same dream, still alive in my heart and with the gentle guiding and leading of my precious Savior's hand, began to unfold. My loving Heavenly Father graciously revealed the beginning of a story so wonderful that I can only give credit to Him for bringing us together in His perfect timing.

God has used this special young man to bless me in more ways than I can count, and I cannot help but thank the Lord for providing me with someone who is caring, thoughtful, and is a great encouragement in Christ.  :)

Of course, I am biased....(what girlfriend isn't? ;) ), but I have to say that being with someone that can encourage me in my walk with Christ is a blessing beyond measure and something that I have been praying and waiting for for a long time.  I just amazes me how God answers prayers. :)

And to all my sisters in Christ that are faithfully waiting for the right one to arrive in their lives, just know that God is preparing, shaping and molding the right person for you right at this moment.  So that when that special day arrives, you and he will be ready to begin a wonderful story that could only be written by the hand of a most loving God. :)

I Heart Faces - {Fix-It-Friday #100}

I'm really enjoying these Fix-It-Friday challenges since things have slowed down a bit (though, I'm hoping that will change in the near future... ;) I am loving the challenges given because it allows me to try new Photoshop techniques and become inspired and challenged by other fellow photographers. :)

I used a combination of TR, MCP and FB to brighten the background.  His eyes (look at those catchlights!!) were already brightened, and needed little to no adjustment at all!  Here's another simple B&W below. Enjoy! :)

I Heart Faces - {Fix-It-Friday #99}

For my very first Fix-It-Friday challenge, the eyes were by far the most challenging aspect of the original photo for me to edit.  Thanks to Andrea Riley for sharing the photo and tutorial! Enjoy! :)
