My anniversary is coming up

We got married on March 3rd, 2007. I dont know if it seems like a long time, or the time has flown by. To me it kinda feels like it should be more years, lol. I guess we just have gone through alot in 2 years. On March 15th, we will celebrate our 8th year together.

I have to say, I have been truly blessed with a wonderful husband. He has been by my side through all the bad times and good times. We have gone through alot in these 8 years. With my mom dieing, me getting cancer, his g-ma dieing, my grandpa sick around our wedding and he stayed in the hospital for months, and then losing our 2 babies. We have changed so many times from 15 and 16 years of age, and grown up and had some challenges, but we held hands through it all and I think we can go through anything now. We have been so blessed and we feel God working in our lives and making us a stronger couple.

My husband has been touched by God. He has this strong faith and willingness to learn his word. My husband didnt know God when I met him. He went to church, but didnt really listen and "know" God. He tells me that God brought me to him. He wishes his family would grow stronger in the Lord and depend on Him more. He has been working and trying to talk to them, and I couldnt be any more happier with him. I think God knew exactly what I needed and wanted out of a man, out of a husband, and he gave me him. Thank you Jesus!!! :)

Heres a picture I took at with him playing basketball one night. I thought it was cool.

Work has been very busy

At Bible Baptist that is....we have gotten 5 new kids in the past 2-3 weeks, but Im not complaining. God is awesome, but work is busy, lol. Im glad we have new kids, and 2 of the kids left and came back!!! What can you say? our school is awesome!!! Plus last week one of the teachers was out due to that stomach bug going around and I took over her class, plus we had 2 new kids testing, plus we had our Big Red Bash, selling paintings going on too.

Ive been coming home and either going straight to bed, or taking me a nap. Im drained. I need a vacation. I think it should be a law to take a vacation every 2 to 3 months, what do you think? That sound good? I would vote on it. :) I like going on trips and visiting places and seeing new things.

I hope everyone else is having a wonderful week, but the month is almost over. I cant believe it. I mean, February is a short month, but some of the things I do monthly, like paying bills just came up on me. I was thinking, I just did this. lol........

George Lopez

Me and hubby went last night to the George Lopez comedy tour at the Auditorium. It was funny and we had front row in the pit. I was so excited!!! This is kinda our anniversary gift to each other. We cant afford to go on a trip this year and Mark needs to find a job, so since its like in a week or so, we just wanted this to be our "fun time". I have to be honest and say.....the opening act was more funny to me than George. eeeeeee.....I never thought I would say that, but yes....I was laughing so hard and tears rolling down my face....that didn't happen with George. I guess Ive heard of alot of Georges jokes before, so it wasn't as funny.

I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend!!!
I'm going to posting soon about my Easter Special. So stay tuned!!

Valentines Day

I know, I know....I always blog AFTER everything, like days later, lol. But me and my hubby had a good Valentines Day. It was such a romantic day. It was cold and cloudy. To me its so romantic. We went to Johnny Carinos and they had the fireplace going. But I wanted to share a little something we got each other. He got me a CD. Yep....I know it dont seem romantic, but hey...its what I wanted. He got me the Adele CD and I believe she just won New Artist of the year. I fell in love with her music last summer, but just never went and got the cd. I made Mark a book of our pictures. We had taken some pictures together a few months ago, and so I put them in a book and got it made. He liked it....lol....Not much he can do with it though, lol. But all my friends loved it, lol. I guess its more a girl thing, but he liked the fact that I spent the time in it and was being creative.

Valentines Party

So, as you may know, I work at a private school here in Wichita Falls. I graduated there and this is my 5th year working there. Man, where does the time go? But anyways...this past Thursday we had our yearly Valentines Party and of course I took my camera. We have a bunch of goofy, fun, loving kids. We are praying that our school grow, but I guess the kids that are in there, are the kids God wants in there at this time. A couple of girls got excited and starting posing for me, so I took some pictures of them. I think on some of the poses, they have been watching too much TV or something, lol. But it was a fun day and now its time to go back tomorrow after this 4 day weekend.

Valentines Day

Well its only 53 minutes in the day, but I just wanted to tell everyone Happy Valentines Day. My husband and I, don't really celebrate it, but its really a good day out of the year to remember your lover. I know everyday you need too and on anniversaries, but sometimes with our daily routines and how busy our days get, we sometimes forget and just admire and look at our spouses.
I do have to say...I am not a big chocolate fan...so the other day, I was in Wal-greens,(one of my favorite get-n-go stores) and I think of how many times I see chocolate during the holidays. We got Halloween, Christmas, Valentines Day, Easter and Im sure Im missing one somewhere. So I was thinking, wow.....that's alot of candy!!! lol
We dont have anything planned, but we did get a little something for each other.
I hope everyone has a wonderful Valentines Day......Dont forget to say the L word to someone :)

Some more pics from Saturday

Im waiting on God...

So its Tuesday....I want to share something that has been going on in my life. I feel happy again. Since the miscarriages, I have been on a roller coaster of emotions and trying for another baby. But since the starting of this year, God has put a peace in my heart. I no longer have that desire like I did, but Im okay with it. At first, I didnt know how to act....here for so long, all I thought about was a baby and it consumed my life. I wasnt putting my faith in Jesus like I should of. But now Im doing his work, his will. I want him to work through me and I want to do what he wants me to do. Like this photograpy....Im doing this, because God wants me to do it. He has put that desire in my heart and the will and ability to do it. I work at a school, that is small, and I dont get any benifits and the pay that I need, but yet God takes care of all my financial and more. All blessings....
I feel like a little kid waiting at Christmas time. The feeling of a kid gets when there is a huge gift under the tree and you know its awesome, but you have to wait till Christmas to get it. Well, I feel like something awesome is going to happen in our lives and I dont know what it is, but I can feel it. God has put this peace and happiness in me and Im just so excited and Im worshiping him and serving him.
Me and my husband watched Fireproof the other day,(awesome movie) and there was a song that came on by John Waller, "While, Im waiting", and if you havent heard that song, I would reccomend it, but I have to say those words touched me and its exactly how I feel right now. I cried of course, but told my husband to go get it on Napster, lol.
Im waiting on that baby....that baby God is going to give us.....Im just waiting on him, and in his time....but I cant lose focus and I need to serve him and worship him while I wait.......

Rachel and Ruby

Yesterday, I had a session at a spa!!! I went and photographed Rachel and Ruby. Rachel went and got her a mani, pedi and a back massage done and Ruby watched, played and helped her sister. They were both just too cute! Little Ruby thinks she is a princess and a model and I know she can pull both off, and Rachel is a good big sister who had the best pampering done to her for the first time and I got to capture it. Here is a little sneak peek from yesterday..... I will post more later.

My hubby :)

God vs Science

I read this today....I hope you enjoy

GOD vs. Science A science professor begins his school year with a lecture to the students, 'Let me explain the problem science has with religion.' The atheist professor of philosophy pauses before his class and then asks one of his new students to stand.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
'You're a Christian, aren't you, son?''Yes sir,' the student says. 'So you believe in God?' 'Absolutely.' 'Is God good?' 'Sure! God's good.' 'Is God all-powerful? Can God do anything?' 'Yes.'
'Are you good or evil?' 'The Bible says I'm evil.' The professor grins knowingly. 'Aha! The Bible!' He considers for a moment. 'Here's one for you. Let's say there's a sick person over here and you can cure him. You can do it. Would you help him? Would you try?' 'Yes sir, I would.' 'So you're good...!' 'I wouldn't say that.' 'But why not say that? You'd help a sick and maimed person if you could. Most of us would if we could. But God doesn't.' The student does not answer, so the professor continues. 'He doesn't, does he? My brother was a Christian who died of cancer, even though he prayed to Jesus to heal him. How is this Jesus good? Hmmm? Can you answer that one?' The student remains silent. 'No, you can't, can you?' the professor says.
He takes a sip of water from a glass on his desk to give the student time to relax.
'Let's start again, young fella. Is God good?' 'Er...yes,' the student says. 'Is Satan good?' The student doesn't hesitate on this one. 'No.' 'Then where does Satan come from?' The student falters. 'From God' 'That's right. God made Satan, didn't he?
Tell me, son. Is there evil in this world?' 'Yes, sir.' 'Evil's everywhere, isn't it? And God did make everything, correct?' 'Yes.' 'So who created evil?'
The professor continued, 'If God created everything, then God created evil, since evil exists, and according to the principle that our works define who we are, then God is evil.' Again, the student has no answer.
'Is there sickness? Immorality? Hatred? Ugliness? All these terrible things, do they exist in this world?' The student squirms on his feet. 'Yes.' 'So who created them?' The student does not answer again, so the professor repeats his question. 'Who created them?' There is still no answer.
Suddenly the lecturer breaks away to pace in front of the classroom. The class is mesmerized. 'Tell me,' he continues onto another student. 'Do you believe in Jesus Christ, son?' The student's voice betrays him and cracks. 'Yes, professor, I do.' The old man stops pacing. 'Science says you have five senses you use to identify and observe the world around you. Have you ever seen Jesus?' 'No sir. I've never seen Him.' 'Then tell us if you've ever heard your Jesus?' 'No, sir, I have not.' 'Have you ever felt your Jesus, tasted your Jesus or smelt your Jesus? Have you ever had any sensory perception of Jesus Christ, or God for that matter?' 'No, sir, I'm afraid I haven't.' 'Yet you still believe in him?' 'Yes.' '
According to the rules of empirical, testable, demonstrable protocol, science says your God doesn't exist. What do you say to that, son?' 'Nothing,' the student replies. 'I only have my faith.' 'Yes, faith,' the professor repeats. 'And that is the problem science has with God. There is no evidence, only faith.'
At the back of the room another student stands quietly for a moment before asking a question of His own. 'Professor, is there such thing as heat?' 'Yes,' the professor replies. 'There's heat.' 'And is there such a thing as cold?' 'Yes, son, there's cold too.' 'No sir, there isn't.'
The professor turns to face the student, obviously interested. The room suddenly becomes very quiet. The student begins to explain. 'You can have lots of heat, even more heat, super-heat, mega-heat, unlimited heat, white heat, a little heat or no heat, but we don't have anything called 'cold'. We can hit up to 458 degrees below zero, which is no heat, but we can't go any further after that.
There is no such thing as cold; otherwise we would be able to go cold er than the lowest -458 degrees.' 'Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-458 F) is the total absence of heat. You see, sir, cold is only a word we use to describe the absence of heat. We cannot measure cold. Heat we can measure in thermal units because heat is energy. Cold is not the opposite of heat, sir, just the absence of it.'
Silence across the room. A pen drops somewhere in the classroom, sounding like a hammer. 'What about darkness, professor. Is there such a thing as darkness?' 'Yes,' the professor replies without hesitation. 'What is night if it isn't darkness?' 'You're wrong again, sir. Darkness is not something; it is the absence of something. You can have low light, normal light, bright light, flashing light, but if you have no light constantly you have nothing and it's called darkness, isn't it? That's the meaning we use to define the word.' 'In reality, darkness isn't. If it were, you would be able to make darkness darker, wouldn't you?' The professor begins to smile at the student in front of him. This will be a good semester.
'So what point are you making, young man?' 'Yes, professor. My point is, your philosophical premise is flawed to start with, and so your conclusion must also be flawed.' The professor's face cannot hide his surprise this time. 'Flawed? Can you explain how?' 'You are working on the premise of duality,' the student explains.
'You argue that there is life and then there's death; a good God and a bad God. You are viewing the concept of God as something finite, something we can measure. Sir, science can't even explain a thought.' 'It uses electricity and magnetism, but has never seen, much less fully understood either one. To view death as the opposite of life is to be ignorant of the fact that death cannot exist as a substantive thing. Death is not the opposite of life, just the absence of it.' 'Now tell me, professor. Do you teach your students that they evolved from a monkey?' 'If you are referring to the natural evolutionary process, young man, yes, of course I do.' 'Have you ever observed evolution with your own eyes, sir?'
The professor begins to shake his head, still smiling, as he realizes where the argument is going. A very good semester, indeed. 'Since no one has ever observed the process of evolution at work and cannot even prove that this process is an on-going endeavor, are you not teaching your opinion, sir? Are you now not a scientist, but a preacher?'
The class is in uproar. The student remains silent until the commotion has subsided. 'To continue the point you were making earlier to the other student, let me give you an example of what I mean.' The student looks around the room. 'Is there anyone in the class who has ever seen the professor's brain?' The class breaks out into laughter. 'Is there anyone here who has ever heard the professor's brain, felt the professor's brain, touched or smelt the professor's brain? No one appears to have done so. So, according to the established rules of empirical, stable, demonstrable protocol, science says that you have no brain, with all due respect, sir.' 'So if science says you have no brain, how can we trust your lectures, sir?'
Now the room is silent. The professor just stares at the student, his face unreadable. Finally, after what seems an eternity, the old man answers. 'I guess you'll have to take them on faith.' 'Now, you accept that there is faith, and, in fact, faith exists with life,' the student continues. 'Now, sir, is there such a thing as evil?' Now uncertain, the professor responds, 'Of course, there is. We see it everyday. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil.' To this the student replied, 'Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light.' The professor sat down.

YES, AND GOD IS CERTAINLY DIFFERENT THAN RELIGION!
