Burdens

Today I'm feeling very intuitive and emotional. I'm a really private person, so this post will be quite revealing(for me anyway) if I can even find the words to write my heart. I spend a good amount of time feeling burdened for people who are hurting(for whatever reason). I rarely know what to do with these feelings and when I have personal burdens, like now, I feel broken. I wonder how Jesus felt to carry the burden of all of us. If it hurts me to carry/feel the burdens in my life and of others that I know, I can't fathom the suffering that Jesus experienced. He carried the cross for the *whole* world.

This song by Alison Krauss really expresses how I'm feeling right now:

Fall photos

There isn't much that I love more than pumpkin season! I really do miss it already. Fortunately, I snagged several bottles of pumpkin spice creamer for my coffee before the store quit ordering it in Dec., so I'm still enjoying it. I also have the makings for two pumpkin pies! Call me crazy, but I love me some pumpkins.

Gentry Vow Renewal!

Some of the dearest people in my life renewed their vows last fall. I felt so honored to be asked to photograph their renewal. Here is a glimpse of their special day!

Time is passing me by...

I have two jobs... I've spent the past couple of months pouring my heart into one of those jobs and I've neglected my blog. I don't think I'm very wasteful with my time but lately I'm finding it hard to do all the things I want to do... homeschooling, church work, photography, blogging the photos, prayer time, study, reading, exercise, oh and I have to fit in housecleaning and laundry too. I have to find balance and I have to accept that life is going to fluctuate.

So, here are some random summer-y and sunshine-y photos. Enjoy!
