P52 Week 13-Details (366-89)

The Details, the details...It's all about the details...Thank heavens for my Kim...She reminded me of the challenge...So, here I am a load of dishes in the sink, need to give my Lovely her meds, laundry needs to be put away and I pull out my camera at 10:30 at night snapping pictures...Well, nothing came out right so I started looking at shots I took this month and this is what I came up with...I like the different "details" in the photo when your focus point is on a different subject...Anyway, that is what I came up with...I like!!

366:82-88

Ok, ok, I know I'm a little behind...I've also found out I'm a little ADD...LOL to Kim...Homeschooling is a dang challenge...After sharing with Kim my frustration with my boy Mikey, we, actually she (Kim) has determined WE are ADD...Hahaha, she is probably not happy that I've label her the culprit....I admit I agree with her...I call it energetic, BUT, nonetheless we need to work on it...I love you KIM!!! 
Kim also inspired me to pull out my camera...Her pictures of those beautiful flowers got me motivated...So here some pictures I took in my yard...Not beauties like hers, but pretty cool, I think...


And here is my sweet boy Mikey on the phone with me while I'm taking pictures...Wait, we are suppose to be doing school, why is he on the phone and I'm taking pictures....OH, ADD...I get it!!!HA!

P52 Week 12-Hunger (366-82)

So many things came to my head for this photo challenge:  food, the homeless, children in need, etc...Although I have several pictures of all of that, the one thing that stuck out the most was my hunger for the Word of GOD!!! (Sigh) I sigh because I'm emotionally drained from the on going situation with my Lovely!!! Today was a doozy, to put it lightly, but it wasn't light at all!!! 

I hunger for HIS Word to survive...

I wish I could "spill the beans", but it is confidential...I praise GOD for the friends and family I have to support us with this particular situation...I don't know how I could have ever stayed on the narrow path without them or my GOD...I admit I have "fleshed out"...Crap, I hate when I do that, but for the most part I've maintained my composure...

I remember looking in the mirror recently as I was putting on my mascara and after receiving a phone call with more drama I said, "LORD, You are never out of control!" I know this, and it's what gives me Peace...I hold my hand on my head thinking about the dramatic, complex situation I am in and kick myself for the times of  NOT composing myself to show that I represent CHRIST!! Oh, how HIS Mercies are new everyday...More than once a day, for that matter...

I'm in the book of  Nehemiah, but I don't know why or how I got there...Oh right, GOD! And, HE has been showing me amazing things...But, I'm also in the book of Mark...What I found AMAZING is in Mark 5:1-13, JESUS has so much Mercy, HE even had Mercy on the legion of demons that HE had cast out of a man...Go and read it, HE had Mercy on them!!!!  

As a daughter of the KING of KINGS I'm grateful that no matter how much I do "flesh out", HIS Mercies are new for me everyday...Well, every minute for me...
I love the LORD and I love HIS Cross!!!!!!!

366-75-81

Of course I'm going to mention my sweet boys again...Because they are just so dang sweet...They are SO on their way to becoming hard working men, just like their dad...My husband has been tackling projects around the house, and as always, his boys are right by his side...My husband doesn't do well with any kind of greenery...If he could have it his way, we would have concrete everywhere (front yard & back yard) Don't ask, I still don't get it...He has allergies so he wants nothing around, but concrete, come on! 

Anyway, here they all are, my favorite men on earth sawing, cutting, and breaking branches for 5 hours straight...Their reward...Joe's Crab Shack...
Good times!!!!!!

Edit Me 2012-Week 12

This week challenges is from SNAPS OF OUR LIFE...Pretty awesome shot..I love the bokeh...
Here is my edit below and what I did...Cropped 2 or 3x, played with the exposure, highlight and shadows, added red to the red, I actually cloned a little more bokeh and added the frame...
