THEMES THAT YOU LIKE
Passing the time away

A blog of randomisity. Of passing thoughts by an aspiring photographer, preschool teacher, and newlywed wife. By a little life in this big, vast universe who is finding her place in this small world. About love and my loves. And struggles and realizations. A blog that very much reflects me and what catches my mind at that moment. And the projects that come along with it. Amongst this time that slips past all so quickly.

Sooooo my camera, Fred, isn’t totally out of commission, but he is reverse blind (LCD screen broken.) So I have been trying my HARDEST to 1) Save for a whole new camera or 2) Win one! So this is another attempt at winning a 5D Mark III (and this post gets me 25 bonus entries!). If you want to enter (I really would be happy if a friend won this like last year, even though I want to), you can go through my referral link here (and help me get more entries). Here’s to praying I get a shot (literally).   And big thanks to the SnapKnot wedding photography directory for offering this great camera giveaway!
"If we are to follow the Jesus who suffered with us and bled for
us, we too must suffer. We must hold the dying in our arms. We
must shed tears for hungry stomachs, trafficked children, and wan-
dering souls. This is what He wants for us. It’s the reason we are
called to lay down our nets and take up our crosses to pursue the
Suffering Servant. And it’s the one thing we will avoid at all costs."

- Lord, make me wrecked for your Kingdom…
Last one. I just love this print and would love to have this be the cover of my journal! 
And you surely did. And we all loved it. {She is truly my icon}. 
Soon enough all the hair I have will be gone and I will be getting an Audrey do like this. And it’ll remind me of Paris. And elegance. And all that she is that I love. 
OMG. I think I know what I want one of my first paintings to be! This is awesome!

"We will run."

To you.

May God bless you with discomfort
At easy answers, half-truths,
And superficial relationships
So that you may live deep
Within your heart.
 
May God bless you with anger
At injustice, oppression,
And exploitation of people,
So that you may work for justice,
Freedom, and peace.
 
May God bless you with tears
To shed for those who suffer pain,
Rejection, hunger, and war,
So that you may reach out your
Hand to comfort them and
To turn their pain into joy.
 
And may God bless you with
Enough foolishness
To believe that you can make
A difference in the world,
So that you can do what others
Claim cannot be done,
And bring justice and kindness to
All our children and the poor.

questionmarkpoetry:

I swallowed your name
even though I wanted to sing it
when he asked me to
hum him a lullaby.

I still remember
the way it hovered
between my teeth,
on the tip of my tongue,
honey for chapped lips.

sometimes I whisper it
when I think he can’t hear me,
because at least
i have that little part of you left.
