A whole month....

Wow! I cant believe it has been a whole month since I posted last. Been really busy trying to get a new logo done. New name for my new love which is still life and nature photography. This year really has been amazing and sobering.

Seems life gives new turns every which way you go. Have had a lot of changes and in those changes there were things I didn't like and things I knew I had to change. But all in all life is really great! So amazed at the awesome power of my God!

Really feeling positive about my future ahead and using my talents for God's Kingdom! That's why we have them right?

I will try and post more on my thought but if you just want to see some photos you can head on over to vintagerainphotography.blogspot.com its just a big collection of all my photos from the year. Excuse the blog, still trying to work on it and I am no good at blogging setup, definitely not one of my talents or gifts. I totally admire the people that can design all this crazy web stuff.

I can see my chatty self coming back after these months of really searching myself. Real question is am I a shy extrovert or a outgoing introvert? I still can not figure it out, maybe one day! I just want to be what God designed me to be and that is me, a one of kind made by God!

Everyone have a great evening!

Looking Ahead....

Looking Ahead....

Life has been filled with many changes this year and one recent change has been one that was prayed about very much. I am looking ahead because I know with all my heart that it was in fact the right decision for my family. I am so very excited about the change, it has brought me a new hope and I am ever so excited about what is ahead for my life. I know that there are those that don't agree and have their own opinion on this change in my life. But I have come to realize this year that it really doesn't matter what people think because it is who I know I am that matters. As long as I am showing forth kindness, love, serving my God with all my heart then what people think is only their opinion of my life. I wish that everyone could see my heart and see that this was truly the right decision but I know that everyone will think what they must so I am choosing to move and look ahead in what a great future is in store for my family. Serving God, Loving life and loving my family!

A little of my days....

Long time!

Well its been a while since I posted last, just trying to take a break from everything that is not so important in my life. I decided that I am not going to play catch up and post every picture since then. I do however promise that I have kept up with my 365 just more on a personal level now. I will try and post some more pics this week for the ones that actually like to look at my pictures. I kind of took a break from my camera and took mostly iPhone pics so its not like anyone missed out on much. 

In a state of wondering right now. My life this past year has been full of ups and downs. God has brought me miracles and brought me through so many things. Trying to gain some focus right now and all this extra stuff just distracts me and I need to hear from the one that sticks closer than anyone ever will and that is my friend, my Savior, my Lord! So thankful that He never gives up on me, that He is there to listen to me vent, He is there when I am full of joy, He is there when I just need to cry at His feet. He is so awesome in every way that it hard to even consider how much love He extends in my life. He blesses me in my miracles and through my storms. In fact without the storms how would I see how He moves so miraculously in  my life. He does the impossible in every situation!  Never forget how wide and deep His love is for you, it always there reaching out for you!

Well enough of my ramblings. Hope everyone is staying safe in the storms!

Day 223

Ice crystals from the top of an ice cream top and then the ice cream with them. This was my hubbys idea! Reaching for ideas lately.

Sorry for the overload of post but I am taking a break from media stuff for a few weeks to focus on my relationship with God. You know we get so bogged down with needing to check all this stuff to be connected that we don't realize how much time it is taking out of our day. I am getting back to the roots of what is important!

I made a decision on a very difficult thing yesterday and although it was difficult it was something that I knew I needed to do for my life. I feel very peaceful about it even though at times it makes me sad, I guess I know I did it for the right reason. I really sought God on it and He confirmed it to me! Sometimes we have so many important things in life and we have to step back and decide what is most important, and I guess that is why I am on this media thing, I am deciding that God and my relationship is more important than staying connected. Not saying connection is bad but sometimes we need to step back or step away to gain some insight in life.

Will back on track in a few weeks, just bare with me!

Questions? Yes I have many but I have to trust and wait that God will send me the answer I need in the time I need it. I know He sees, I know He knows and I know that He will answer. I might not know what I should do right now but I do know that if I trust in Him, He will lead me to the  right answer, He is my hope and I shall trust Him and His timing. Just make sure my ears aren't plugged when you speak Lord! God has a sense of humor too you know! Have a great one everyone!

My dogs nose because I know you wanted to see that and because my angel wanted me to use this shot for today! And another water drop picture because I am loving practicing catching the water fall. Oh and sorry about the ugly rag in the drop but I did not want my pretty pillow to get dirty, I was trying to get just the pillow in the drop but it was not working out, practice practice practice! Have a great one!

Day 214

I love my macro!

Day 213

Sometimes as a parent it seems hard to find the right keys! What am I  talking about? I guess I am stretching this a little. But I was thinking...we struggle with so much as parents, making sure our kids have a good life and that we don't scar them in anyway. Sometimes finding the right answers to situations is hard to do, wondering if we truly are making the right decisions or which decisions would be best for our children. Sometimes its hard to hear that small voice from God speaking to my heart when I have other people screaming in my ear what they think God wants me to do, when in fact it is really them. Sometimes I wish God could hand me the key so that I know I am making the right decision but I know that the decision I make involves trusting God with all my heart, trusting that He is directing my decision as the parent to what He has planned for my girls. That as long as I am doing the best I can that yes I may indeed give my children a few scars but not on purpose but just out of being human and making mistakes. But in my mistakes I hope my children learn that its okay to make mistakes and that we pick ourselves back up and we move on. Parenting is hard stuff sometimes but I know I can do this job because God trusted me enough with them. Trusting God in all things!

Have a great one everyone!

Day 212

I was playing around with water last night and this is one of my shots! Love it! You can see the reflection of the handle in the drop!

Gummie Life Savers

So glad I follow after the ultimate "Life Saver"! Jesus is the one that saves me from myself, the one who directs my life! He saves me from wrong decisions and directs me back to the path He has for me. Sometimes those paths change, I am trying to figure out right now if there is a path change on my journey I am on right now. Trusting God for the answer, I want to be in His will and His way for my life and sometimes we have to discover things about ourselves and we have to confront our fears in order to be able to stand to reach that place that God has called us to be. Sometimes I feel torn on where God is leading me and when is it time to let go of one area so God can lead me into other areas. I am trusting and I am believing that my LIFE SAVER will direct my steps even though everyone might not like the step I have to take in my journey to become what HE has called me to be!  I am not even sure that some of the people in my life will believe in me and where I think God is calling me to but I have learned that I can not worry about all those things, all I can really worry about is following the leading of God in my life!
