Moving the Blog
After a lot of prayer and consideration, I’m moving my blog to a free hosting site. It will looks a bit different and I won’t have all the image galleries but it’s the best thing to do.
When the Assignment Changes
Several weeks ago, after a wonderful lunch with a dear friend, I felt lead to offer to meet with her to read/study/discuss the Bible. So I extended the offer and she was open to it. Then things changed
There’s Joy in the Storm
Happy 250th to the U.S.A.!
Taking a little staycation…
When Offense Sneaks In
“The discretion of a man makes him slow to anger,
And his glory is to overlook a transgression.”
— Proverbs 19:11 NKJV
The Wedding Post
They’ve been officially married for a month, had a wonderful honeymoon and are now preparing to close on their first house together. I decided to finally post a slideshow of some of my favorite moments. I had to stop at 30 or so. Honestly, I loved them all.
They’re off to a great start and I love these two so very much.
I Am A Church Member. YAY!
What an incredible Sunday! I'm officially a member of my church.
Words fail me when I try to describe how it felt. Remember when I wrote the post, What An Incredible Weekend? This past Sunday was a bit like that, but with an even deeper sense of peace and joy.
Reflections
In an earlier blog entry, I wrote about photographing my grand-niece’s wedding. After three weeks and many hours of editing , the wedding photos are finished and delivered. Her reaction made every bit of the exhaustion and the pain I put my body through that day worthwhile.
Hello June!
May is done and June has arrived bringing sunshine, low humidity and lots of plans…
The Good, the Hard, and the Grace Between
It's Saturday, May 30th, and there's officially just one day left in the month. Sunday, is all about church in the morning and hanging with my hubby after that. It’s comforting to say we’ll be closing out the month resting, reading and enjoying each other’s company.
Oops! My Bad!
Oops! I’m changing the domain name for my site after reading more about wild wisteria. It’s absolutely beautiful, and every year I look forward to watching it bloom behind our home. But apparently this gorgeous, wild flowering vine slowly strangles trees.
After learning that, I decided to rename the site Where Grace Meets Her.
When God Flips The Script
What a whirlwind the past five days have been! First and foremost, PRAISE GOD! He has encouraged me, used me, corrected me, humbled me and brought so much joy that I can't contain it. What I thought would be a wedding weekend became something much more. It was a reminder that God sustains, redirects, and even lovingly corrects us when we least expect it.
When My Heart Prays What My Lips Can Not
Recently, I attended my first prayer meeting at church.
I expected it to be meaningful. I didn’t expect it to undo me.
As the people around me began to pray, I listened quietly, grateful simply to be there. But when the woman beside me began praying for unsaved husbands, something inside me broke open. Before I could stop it, tears came. My throat tightened and I started to sob. By the time it was my turn to pray, I couldn’t speak a single word.
Why I’m Thankful for the Pause Button
This series was taught during the adult Sunday school class at church, l before I ever started attending Calvary. Somehow, though, the Lord saw fit to place it in front of me through their YouTube channel, and I’ve found myself slowly making my way through it. I’m about halfway now, and it’s been deep, even gritty at times, but in the best way. It's the kind of teaching that settles in and lingers. To quote my Grandpop, "It sticks to the bones."
What an Incredible Weekend
My heart is full as I write this entry. Something shifted in the past week, like when dirt settles into a pot. I’ve been attending my church for a little over 4 ½ months, yet in the last week since I attended the first membership class, until the end of PM Worship service last night, I felt myself settle into place. It’s hard to put into words and I spent the drive home last night just praising God for the incredible joy I felt even though I’d been running on very little sleep.
Life Since Changing Churches
On November 3rd of last year, I left the church I had attended for two and a half years. It wasn’t an easy decision, but it was the right one. A month later, I began attending a church a few miles away in a neighboring town. In the four months since, I’ve received so many quiet confirmations that the move was exactly what it needed to be.
Welcome
After blogging on Wordpress.com for nearly a year, I realized that I needed a new site. While Wordpress worked as a platform for blogging, it didn’t work for my photography. Even though I’m retired, I’m still actively capturing moments with my cameras. With my Great-Niece’s wedding quickly approaching, I needed to make a decision whether to upgrade my Pixieset site, subscribe to Smugmug or return to Squarespace.
