I just posted new pictures of an engagement photo shoot I did with my brother, David, and his fiance', Lina on my photography blog! Their wedding will be this Saturday, April 4th! More pictures are sure to come after the weekend! ; )

Man......y'all! I miss blogging! Xanga just kinda seems to be out though. No one ever comments anymore. : (  Ahhh.....well, for you readers out there who perhaps may be reading my blog still and just not commenting.....I'm posting once more. Whether anyone cares or not...hehe! Really, just because I miss it. Life has been pretty much the same for me lately.... Traveling and singing non-stop! I'm trusting God to continue to guide my footsteps and show me the path to take! My special treasure verse I found today in the Bible just seemed perfect for where I am right now........ "Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is fullness of joy; at thy right hand there are pleasures for evermore." Psalm 16:11   I know I can depend on my Heavenly Father to show me the path He has planned for my life....and for the next step even....... That causes such a wave of peace to wash over me.... A deep feeling of calm....just knowing that I don't have to know all the answers now, but can rest in His plan with complete assurance that He will never leave me or forsake me....... This picture below that I took today at sunset here in Alabama, just seems to say "peace" to me..... I CAN have peace.....knowing that my Father is here with me......working in what looks like darkness to me.....working above the clouds that hide the sun from me.....and all the while speaking peace to my soul..... Peace......no matter what comes my way....for He is the Author of peace.......

 

I'm enjoying a lovely Christmas season at home....(happy sigh) It's sure good to be home...especially at Christmas time! I'm so very thankful for the little things that our Heavenly Father gives us to let us know how much He loves us! This time of year is the sweetest to me... I love everything about Christmas time! I love the decorations, the music, the family traditions.....it's all so special and full of joy to me! Most of all, though, I'm thankful for the most joyous night in the history of the world....when God sent the gift of His only Son to this sin filled world with a specific purpose and plan! It's such a beautiful plan of redemption that our God has woven through the ages....and it's still saving mankind today...right now, as we celebrate this season! That's so awesome to me....that the birth of our Savior over two thousand years ago has changed MY life....FOREVER!!!! Now that's worth celebrating!!!! So, even though I LOVE the traditions of lovely trees and yummy cookies....and caroling in the cold.....and giving gifts to family and friends....(and being home!) I want it ALL to remind me to rejoice everyday in the gift that God gave to me....salvation forever!!!! .....and the mission to share the great news with others! May I be willing to joyfully share the love of my Savior with everyone I come in contact with..... Remember to rejoice in the gift and Giver of life and love as you enjoy this Christmas season! Merry Christmas everybody!!!!!
