To Capture the Light

"To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did. When God takes something from your grasp, he's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. The will of god will never take you where the grace of god will not protect you. In the midst of a test your testimony is being created. if he brings you to it, he will bring you through it."--John Hagee

Who I Follow

‘Trust Me, My child,’ He says. ‘Trust Me with a fuller abandon than you ever have before. Trust Me, as minute succeeds minute, every day of your life, for as long as you live. And if you become conscious of anything hindering our relationship, do not hurt Me by turning away from Me. Draw all the closer to Me, come, run to Me. Allow Me to hide you, to protect you, even from yourself. Tell me your deepest cares, your every trouble. Trust Me to keep My hand upon you. I will never leave you. I will shape you, mold you, and perfect you. Do not fear, O child of My love, do not fear. I love you.’

For Memorial Day weekend, I got my patriotic nails and hair ribbons on! Holiday weekends at a campground mean lots of exhausted employees and 1500-2500 potential grumpy customers. Wish us luck! The next four days are going to be 5:30 am opening shifts for me. Bring it.

Also if you’re in Northern California this summer, Collins Lake is where it’s at.

May Book Photo Challenge - Day 24: Tearjerker

No denying it.

I guess my only qualm was because the dress is full length solid black. I think that no matter what, I’m going to stick out because most everyone will be in summer colors, but at this point I’m telling myself to just own it! Simple accessories - check! Thanks!

Those who love you are not fooled by mistakes you have made or dark images you hold about yourself. They remember your beauty when you feel ugly; your wholeness when you are broken; your innocence when you feel guilty; and your purpose when you are confused.

“The Fault in our Death Stars”

So I had this idea ages ago, but I never really got started on it.
Earlier this month, I finally did and it turned out great! :D
So I’m saving this graphic for May 4th, but now I find out #thefaultinourdeathstars is already a thing?!?

Oh well. I guess there’s little point in keeping it from you, then…

Anyway, I was on a roll, so this also happened:

Does anyone know their wedding etiquette?

When you get a summer wedding invitation that says “black tie optional,” does that mean the ladies are also allowed to wear black? I have a casual solid black maxi dress that I want to wear (and accessorize with a brighter color or something), but I don’t want to show up and everyone be like “why’d you dress for a funeral.” Help me, tumblers.

May Book Photo Challenge - Day 22: Literary Classic

One of my favorites! We have some family friends with whom I share the love of the written word, and they bought me this copy of Little Women with a beautifully illustrated cover.

We often take a look around us at the people who are seemingly going about their normal lives and wish that we were them. We wish we had a life which seemed as amazing as our friends’, or a family like our next door neighbor’s. We just want to be like everyone else. We just want to feel normal.

Israel once asked Samuel for a king, that they would “be like all the other nations.” Samuel warned them against this, but they would not listen. They got Saul, a tall, handsome young man much like many of the people we often envy. But ultimately, Saul self-destructed, lost the favor of the Lord, and spent a good percentage of his days chasing David out of a jealous rage. He died on his own sword and lost all of his sons besides.

The fact is, all the “normal” people who seem to live better lives are struggling just as much as you are. They have their own trials and conflicts, and they all fail at one thing or another, just as you do. The façade we try to build around us often looks as good as Saul and crumbles just as badly. Do not deny what is special about you. Do not desire to be part of the normality when you were meant to be unique. Israel repeatedly rejected the favor of the Lord; they repeatedly rejected the fact that they were God’s chosen people. Embrace it. Embrace God’s promises and love and favor for you, and He will uplift you.
