A Plan of Attack (or intentional living?)

I think tonight’s post will go in the category “rambling to myself”…

There is so much going on in my head that I have a hard time putting my thoughts into words (like I ever can put my thoughts into words – ha)…But I have to write it out somewhere :smile: .

Several weeks ago, my dear friend Lynn gave me the following verse from Psalms:

“Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart.” ~ Psalm 37:4 (ESV)

Oh, I so delight myself in the Lord and His Word. There is so much beauty around us but we too often don’t take notice of it. We rush through life without stopping and seeing. I have been seeing the world through my lens for the past 2 years… Not only the immediate surroundings, but also when I watch movies, I see everything in frames (don’t ask).

Well, my friend Lori reviewed a book about photography and Scripture…I had thought about self-publishing a book like this for almost a year now. I wanted to combine scrapping and my photography. But why not use my photos in ‘just’ a book by itself. As I was reading Lori’s review, clicked on the link to see the book…I thought: I can do this. Sure, I am not a photographer like Lori Nordstorm, David DuChemin, or my husband, but I think I have some decent photos in my collection…

Tonight I took a plunge; I contacted ESV to see what I need to do in order to use their Scripture passages in a self-published photo-book through “Blurb“. We will see what they come back with :razz: …I really don’t want to make a huge profit of the book, but want to share my photos to encourage others to see the glory of His creation.

(told you I am rambling tonight – :lol: )…There might be something else in the works regarding my photography, which I am very excited about. I have to thank Debbie from Heart Choices about that. I will share with you when and if this comes to a conclusion.

Thanks for listening/reading my ramblings. Remember: You can’t realize your dreams if you don’t step out in faith…

31 Day Encounter with Jesus

As I was reading through some of Kathy Howard’s discipleship tools yesterday, I came across this wonderful 31-Day-Encounter with Jesus reading plan.

Many passages I know, but I really want to reflect on them over the next 31 days. Care to join?

Thank you for stopping by today. Be blessed today and always…

Faithbook ~ The Letter ‘N’



Faithbook_Nailing, originally uploaded by eph2810.

I know, I haven’t shared my progress on my Faithbook project. I thought to share my “N” page with you…Let me know what you think.

Now I am getting into the ‘hard’ letters (although “T” is already done). You see, I have to ‘feel’ the page — the photo, the color scheme, etc. I do have a gazillion photos, but the photo really needs to go with the Scripture passage – KWIM?

The materials I used for this particular page are by Galiscrap available at Digital Crea; the font is ‘Parade’ and the photo (of course) is by me.

I do hope that I can finish the Faithbook within the next couple of weeks so I can have it printed before Christmas….

Thanks for stopping by today. Have a blessed weekend…
