New Perspectives

What is a new perspective? A perspective is, "a particular attitude toward or way of regarding something; a point of view." Everyone has a perspective. Your perspective is based upon your world view. A secular humanist will view the world differently than a Buddhist or naturalist would. As Christians, we should view the world a certain way. 2 Corinthians 5:17 says, "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." What does this mean? Well, this means that our view, or perspective, of the world changes when we are saved. We see everything around us differently. A tree is no longer just a plant. It is now a gift given to us for our enjoyment and use. We see that we need to protect what God has given us and use it in the ways that He designed it for. God is good, and He has blessed us with every good thing. We are to view the world from a Biblical view point. Everything we see and think must be done through the Biblical glasses. When we are saved, we begin looking through a filter that changes the way we see everything. Evaluate the way that you view trials, pain, politics, beauty, the world and other controversial topics. Do you need a new perspective? 

My Wilton Cake Decorating Class Experience.....

Hello everyone! During the month of February, I took the Basic Wilton Cake Decorating class at our local Michael's. My friends Ashley and Brittany took it with me and let me tell you, we had a blast! I was pretty nervous (By nature I am really shy) but our instructor Mrs. Penny put me right to ease. She informed us immediately that she home schooled as well and so she knew all about that and not to be worried. :) Anyway, we had a great time and I would highly recommend it to anyone that would like to learn more about this subject. 

As you can see, I haven't had time to edit the pictures and that my work is far from perfect. In a way, cake decorating helps me with my perfectionism. At some point, you have to stop smoothing out the icing!

Civil War Dress

Hello y'all! I have been so busy lately. Sorry that I haven't been posting. I do have some posts planned. Olivia and I wanted to try the Paper Mama's No Heat Curls. It
 turned out very nicely, and then I decided that I wanted to take Olivia's picture while she was in this old civil war era dress that a lady in our church gave us. This dress is GORGEOUS! Unfortunately, it is way to tight on me, I can't even zip it up. It was hard enough for Olivia (Obviously, it was made for a very petite person). So, I got her all dressed and out we went.

At first, she wasn't sure if she would like modeling for me, but it didn't take long for her to get into it. 

My favorites are the ones with her twirling. 

Have a great day!

Monumental

Hello ya'll! I hope that your week is going well. I wanted to share with you a movie called MONUMENTAL starring Kirk Cameron (Growing Pains ;). This movie is about a man seeking to find the spiritual heritage of our country through our different monuments. Monuments are sooooooo important. 1 Samuel 7:12 says, "Then Samuel took a stone and set it up between Mizpah and Shen, and called its name Ebenezer, saying, “Thus far the Lord has helped us.” Samuel put up a monument! Monuments are placed so that future generations will not forget significant events that happened in the past. Today, very little emphasis is put on monuments. But hopefully, this movie will change your mind. Here are two videos for you to watch.

P.S. Happy Valentines Day (Belated)! 

Emma Jean

This one word says so much about her: crazy! She is a pop-corn eating, back sleeping, crazy bearded dog! She has a mind (and personality) all her own. When she wants you to play with her, she will wrap her paws around one of your legs and hold on until you show her attention! That being said, she is really gentle, some how she knows that she can't hurt little kids, no matter what they are doing to her. They could be swinging her around by the collar (This has happened) and she will do nothing! Last week I decided to work with my zoom lens. I was able to capture some pretty good shots of EJ. 

She LOVES her ball! Have a good Sabbath!
