Photography

Photography is...
*the sparkle in someone's eyes
*cute little baby feet
*little hands holding a praying mantis
*a daddy helping his toddler put on her shoes
*a mommy holding her newborn
*messy hands carving pumpkins
*playing in a mud puddle
*a couple holding hands
*a glimpse into a beautiful life!

Refining

My time in Arizona can be summed up in one word--refining. God has been refining me since we got here. I have not felt like myself, whoever that is, in four years. But I have learned some important valuable lessons that I may have never learned otherwise.

1. Do not take family for granted.
2. If you are going to move 1700 miles away from family, you will need the Lord more than ever.
3. I am a midwestern girl at heart and always will be. IL is my home here on earth.

Waiting on the Lord and I know he is in motion even if I can't see it right now!

"See, I have refined you, though not as silver; I have tested you in the furnace of affliction."
Isaiah 48:10
