John 4:14

John 4:14.
Jesus answered, "Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again,but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."

More of Krista and James

Here are the rest of the pics that I have edited. I could not believe how good they turned out. I'm finally learning how to use my Adobe Photoshop program. It is turning out to be sooo much fun!

Together

Sunny Smiles

Silhouette

Strange Coloring

Look at the waterfall

Krista and James

This is just a sneak peak of what's to come (I'm still editing them). We went to the park for a photo shoot. I finally got some really good ones of them. Krista really wanted some silhouette pictures so I got some.

I Love You

My first Car!!!!

I finally was able to purchase my very first car. Yes, I did go half and half with my sister, but it was worth it. We go to school at the same time anyway so why buy two when you can buy a nicer one for less. Well it's a Pontiac Grandam. Very cool looking and pretty good gas mileage. I may sound like a geek to some people, but I'm excited about it so get over it.

 

 

  

 

It even has a tail.

 

More Pics

Some more pics from New Mexico! My little brother Joey and I went for a walk around our neighborhood. He was nice enough to let me take some pics of him which he never does.

Walking up one of many hills.

Chipmunks again!

These were pretty cute ones. He just had to jump over every single puddle or mud spot in the road and he had to have me take his picture every time. They turned out cute though.

 A family pic on the front porch of my uncles cabin. We left about 5 minutes after that. 

From left to right---Krista, Anna, Me, Kayla, Joey, Justin, Mom, Dad, Jordan.

Waterfalls....got to luv them.

I finally figured out how to do cool waterfall pics. These turned out soooo amazing that I just had to show them off. Let me know which one you think is best.

This one was really hard to get because, to get the water to look right you have to slow the shutter speed down. This makes it so that anything that moves will be fuzzy, (making the moving water look cool). Anyway, Anna had to stay perfectly still so that she wouldn't look blurry.

Christ Alone

O God,
Thy main plan, and the end of thy will is to make Christ glorious and beloved in heaven where he is now ascended, where one day all the elect will behold his glory and love and glorify him for ever.
Though here  I love him but little, may this be my portion at last. In this world thou hast given me a beginning, one day it will be perfected in the realm above.
Thou has helped me to see and to know Christ, though obscurely, to take him, receive him, to possess him, love him, to bless him in my heart, mouth, life.
Let me study and stand for discipline, and all the ways of worship, out of love for Christ; and to show my thankfulness; to seek and know his will from love, to hold it in love, and daily to care for and keep this state of heart.
Thou has led me to place all my nature and happiness in oneness with Christ, in having heart and mind centered only on him, in being like him in communicating good to others;
This is my heaven on earth, but I need the force, energy, impulses of thy Spirit to carry me on the way to my Jerusalem.
Here, it is my duty to be as Christ in this world, to do what he would do, to live as he would live, to walk in love and meekness; then would he be known, then would I have peace in death and not shrink at his appearing.



This is a prayer taken from "The Valley of Vision." My siblings and I gave it to our dad for his 43rd birthday. I saw it lying on the couch and decided to pick it up and read some of it. It is a book full of prayers directly about certain things of God. This one describes me to a tee.
I so much want to step heavenward and be more like Christ, but it is so hard sometimes and I find myself falling more then stepping forward in the pilgrimage of the christian life. Prayers like this one are a great encouragement to me and I get a spiritual boost every time I read one. I hope it is a comforting to you as to me.

Consider the Lillies...

  Consider the lilies how they grow...

...they toil not, they spin not...

...and yet I say unto you, that Solomon in all his glory...

...was not arrayed like one of these.

I hope this verse is as encouraging to you as it is to me. Please pray for me that I might look to Christ at all times for everything in my life. So many times I look to myself and to others when the only One who can give me true peace and comfort is my Father the Lord Jesus Christ.

New Mexico

I am finally getting some pics of our vacation posted. I start school next week and will be far to busy to post very much, so I'm trying to get the important things posted before that. I didn't take as many pics as Anna did, but I got some pretty fun ones. There will be more posts coming so stay tuned.

Anna, walking around the neighborhood....Pecos Canyon Estates.

Some toys that the boys brought. Dad and I had some fun with those:)

Chipmunks were everywhere! They were all so cute. Look at those cheeks.

Krista on our first hike. Believe it or not, my camera was about two inches from the ground when I took this picture. I really wanted to get the mountains in the background.

Encouraging Prayer Quote

God grant me

the serenity to

accept the things

I cannot change;

the courage to

change the things

I can; and the

wisdom to know

the difference.
