He's Here!

Recently my family and I went to see the Andrew Peterson concert titled Behold the Lamb of God. We drove to Nashville to see it and it was well worth the trip. 

The concert centers around the story of Jesus' birth!  The concert started with Sally Lloyd-Jones, herself, reading from two of her books. She has a wonderful English accent and I think I would have been fine hearing her read her whole book! 

The first passage that she read was from her book titled Thoughts to Make Your Heart Sing the passage was titled "God's Title". But the one I enjoyed the most was the second one she read and I wrote it below for you to enjoy! 

"He's Here! The Nativity, from Luke 1-2

Everything was ready!
The moment God has been waiting for was here at last! God was coming to help his people, just as he promised in the beginning!
But how would he come? What would he be like? What would be do?

Mountains would have bowed down. Seas would have roared. Trees would have clapped their hands. But the earth held its breath. As silent as snow falling, he came in. And when no one was looking, in the darkness, he came. "

Taken from The Jesus Storybook Bible written by Sally Lloyd-Jones

The photo I picked today was taken back in 2009. We were driving home and I saw these flowers flowers on the side of the road, so mom and I pulled over so I could take some photos!

The reasons I like this photo is

1) The yellow flowers up against the blue sky

2) The shapes that the trees in the background

3) how the focus is right in the front but the shapes in the background make you look at the whole photo

Today's photo is from my third semester of college. This is from a class I took called Studio Lighting. We learned how to use lights, shadows, and backdrops. It was a really fun class!

I like this photo because

1) I love the looks on the girls faces

2) I like the tons of the black and white. Some pure black, pure white and grays!

3) I like how their feet are so big compared to their body, which makes it look a little cartoon!

This photo is from a beach trip we took with all the Monroe's. It was about 5 years ago. 

This is one of my younger cousins. 

What I love about this photo is

1) the sun and how bright it was

2) I like how her head is in the top third of the photo, her middle is in the second third and her legs make of the bottom third, which makes her look taller then she is because she is taking up the whole photo

3) I like all the lines in the photo. The lines of the water and shore, the lines in her swim suit, the lines the clouds are making.

This photo is one of my painting with light photos I did while in school.  This photo is in my den at my house! You really never know how these photos are going to turn out!

I love this photo because

1) I love how the lights from outside make the windows look like a painting

2) I love the reflection of the lights off the floor!

3) I like the fact that I know mom and marisa and I are in this photo but you would never have known if I didn't tell you!

I love this photo because

1) it shows the beauty of Arkansas

2) I like how the sky is most of the picture showing how small we are compared to the sky

3) the love the color of the sky

For the rest of July I plan to post a photo a day from my favorite photos! 

I'll start with a photo from a recent wedding.

The reason I love this photo is 

1) the fact that we are in downtown Little Rock and you cant tell.

2) I love the way the lighting turned out. 

3) I love how even though the bride and groom are super small you can still tell they are looking at each other and see their smiles!

Day 353.

Today I am thankful for being able to tye dye with so many different people! It is fun to see what everyone does different and how they want their shirt to turn out! 

                                     

If you have never tye dyed but would love to try it, my FAVORITE thing to use is Tulip. 

This is what the box looks like! They have many many Tulip kits, and I love all the ones I have tries! 

All you need to do is pick which colors you want to try!

I am really into the Tropical type colors right now! The rest I like Tulip is because the dye comes in the bottles already and you just have to fill with water! it has gloves and rubber bands as well! I was cleaning recently and I found FOUR new boxes of tye dye that I bought on sale and forgot I had! After finding those and writing this I think a tye dye party is in my future!

Here is my new favorite tye dye shirt plus Jill's first tye dye shirt!!
