Hi friends,

Recently we had a chance to do a photoshoot with a friend of mine that I met like 3 months ago. She had been a part of IHOP for a bit, and then moved back up to MN. We met through facebook, and mutual friends. I got to shoot along side of her at TheCall and she’s been taking time to teach me a lot about photography. I am amazed at how much I’ve learned, and what I’ve been trained to see in pictures through the time I’ve gotten to spend IMing and talking to her.

When we went on our photoshoot, we decided to dress up like we had for our wedding. I put my amazing Melissa Sweet wedding dress on that the Lord gave me, and Brandon rented a tux from the store I work at.I also didn’t wear a veil at my true wedding, so I borrowed a few from the store I work at as well as some earrings and such. I got my dress steamed, got Brandon’s tux and we went to Lee’s Summit where I had found some really cool places to take pictures.

The evening was beyond perfect. The sky was incredibly blue and the flowers against the sky were just amazing. Shelley captured our love for one another so beautifully. I cried. How we are ever going to be able to decide what to print is beyond me. I’m so excited. To see our slide show of the evening click here..

For those of you who may be looking for a photographer. I highly recommend Shelley. She is amazing.

Thank you Shelley!!

I’m deeply disgusted by the $700,000,000,000.00 bailout that the government is trying to push on us right now.  Why is the solution always to throw money at the situation–our money!?!  I’m grateful for some of the Republicans in the House right now who are proposing alternative plans that may be just as effective–John Boehner, Roy Blunt, John Culberson, and the list could keep going…

Here’s something from Mike Huckabee–and many House Republicans are pushing for this, as well as many others: http://www.huckpac.com/?FuseAction=Blogs.View&Blog_id=1902

Many of you, like myself, have been asking yourselves, “How did we get into this mess in the first place?”  Watch these videos and let me know what you think. It makes me sick.

Dear Friends,

One of the couples I work closely with are Randy and Kelsey Bohlender.  Just in the last couple of days, they received word of a young girl in Pensacola, FL who wanted to give up her two newborn twin girls for adoption. Having already rescued and adopted one little girl, Randy and Kelsey responded and within a few hours, those two baby twin girls were signed over to them.

This is an amazing story that is worthy of reading and being a part of. As they have stepped out with a compassionate heart, they are believing God to meet the financial needs that are required. Please take the time to read their blogs about the details of what transpired over the last couple of days and if the Lord speaks to you to send a financial gift to help, please be obedient. They are going to need around $15,000 for all the expenses of this adoption process.

If you can’t be there (I can’t), then I’m asking you to pray and fast on this day.

Lets move heaven for these elections!

We’ve been praying that God would drive the abortion issue like a wedge into these elections!
