my new method to memory capturing, combined 8mm vintage camera and time lapses.
stole this panoramic off of rew’s blog. its the angel oak in charleston but i just love that if you look close enough you can see his sweet 93 year old grandmommie and i standing together. also this tree is beautiful. thats all
enjoy. no really, you will.
i love to paint in a sloppy manner, and it was a blast throwing these whites, tans and blues onto the background on these canvases! then i freehanded a thick, bold typeface.
voila!
easy peesy way to love on my dear friends ashley and travis and give back in a small way to them as a family after the many and continuous ways they love me so well!

Finally managed to snap a good picture of my new tattoo! Sola gratia means by grace alone and it’s one of the five Solas written by Martin Luther. The concept of grace is huge within my life and I added the birds to represent the freedom I’ve found in Gods grace.
found a pallet, ripped it apart, picked the pieces i like then nailed them to a backing i made for support and hanging. then just free handed a verse. TA DA!
I’ve been working on a photoshop project the past few weeks that has been nothing short of exhausting, time consuming and frustrating. I finally finished it last night and was excited about getting to have the free time between having it printed at kinkos and the class when I had to turn it in. It’s so funny when we have expectations..because they never go as planned. Long story short, there was almost a brawl in kinkos between the clerk and I. My patience was wearing thin and panic was rising inside me. If I couldn’t get my project (that accounts for 70% of my grade) printed today because the store didn’t have an updated version of photoshop..I was going to loose it. I ended up leaving the store feeling helpless, knowing that I’d just have to sit and wait until their graphic designer came into work at 1 and see if he could print it before my class at 2:30. After leaving I drove over to my grandparents house which was close by to just hang out and mope before I heard the veridic of my printing. Soon after entering their house, my grandmother started asking me about the day and why I was in such a grumpy mood (she’s blunt & I adore it). I explained the situation and without hesitation she told me “life is so simple when we give it to Jesus, we make it so much for complicated.” she then went on to tell me that the Lord was using this to test my knowledge and patience and all of the things that he’s been teaching me through the word lately. She so simply stated that “It’s His, give it to him. If He wants you to fail, you need to accept that and if He wants you to pass, He’ll help you. The bottom line is thy will be done.” Her frankness and quick statement, rocked my world and my thinking. My Ah Ha moment. My wise grandmother always teaches me so much about the Lord and what it REALLY means to live my life fully for Him. There are so many things just like this that I hold so tightly to and don’t give up whole heartedly. Why do I do this, when He is all knowing and good. There is such a peace about giving something to him that you’ve been grasping so tightly. Thanks Mama :)
