Pleasures and Blessings...

I wanted to share with you some photos I've been taking with my new lenses for my camera phone. I got a new phone recently with a better camera! Praise God! And it was free too...so that is pretty cool. The camera is so good on it that I am actually able to print the photos that I take with it like I would with my own camera. Pretty crazy right Sarah?! But I feel so glad because so often, there is an image I want to capture and I won't have my camera. Now I have this better camera phone and super cool lenses.

Also, I just wanted to take this time now to really thank God for answering prayers. Even the prayers I hadn't even formed into words yet.

The past few weeks I have been so blessed with conversations which have completely uplifted me, encouraged me, and have put so much truth back into my life.

I praise God for the amazing people he has placed in my life. I praise Him for giving me the strength and willingness to be honest about everything, even embarrassing things, with those people. With new friends as well. I praise God for giving me authority and for even giving me the option of truth to choose every single day and the strength to choose it! I choose the truth!

God knows me more intimately than a husband would his wife and His love is overwhelming.

All the ways You have blessed me LORD, how do I even deserve them?

Here is what it looked like from further away.

Towards the end of the drink, it turned into a heart.A blurry James Mathis.
