Georgia Wedding

I am sitting in a lovely hotel in Athens, GA. I’m about to go lay out by the pool. My cousin Ashley is getting married today to her love Kevin. She is so gorgeous and I love her so much. This whole weekend has been so perfect. I can’t wait to see her walk down the aisle.
I will share more pictures later.

I adore weddings

Digital Cameras: The Ultimate Form of Narcissism

I’m still in the mountains at the wonderful McCall cabin. Me and Debbie have been uploading and editing the literally thousands of pictures that have been taken so far. Not even close to done. Today was topped off by a massive photo shoot mostly with the girls. It was so fun, but seriously? Hundreds of pictures? I am seriously in a JPEG coma from weeding through these endless shots.

In this digital age of endless shots how can we help being so self conscious of that “little bulge” or the “little hair in covering my eye?”

Who am I kidding?
I LOVE IT…

Georgia: Because I’m a selfish human

I am such a woman.
Shocker I know.
I climb to the highest point of my day where everything is wonderful, I’m worshiping God, I love everyone, and then I snap at someone.

ugh.

Self control and the Spirit living in my emotions and feelings is not a strong point of mine. I guess further embarrassment and consequence is the only thing God can use to wake me up and change me.
I have been learning a lot about that and how pain and discomfort bring us to true change.

We’re here in the mountains at the McCalls’ cabin again. It is truly wonderful. They are a blessing to us. I have been struggling with some things for the last two days on this trip that I am just now letting God change in me. It’s a good feeling. Shocking, but good and much needed. More later, I’m tired now and I really cannot form very coherent thoughts.
