Imagination

The imagination is such an awesome aspect in a young kids life. To see my little sisters play Pilgrims and Indians makes me feel so much joy :) I remember all of my stories I used to play. I tell you I had an interesting imagination. :P This isn't just going out to the little kids. It's to you older kids too!

The imagination isn't only about fairies and giants and things like that. It's having your brain think and be creative. Imagination gives your brain a little workout. You have to use your brain in order to imagine things.

My Dad was telling me of all the things he did as a kid. They were all so imaginative and creative. Now when you look back to that time kids didn't have computers, TV's, and cell phones. They didn't have these electronics to distract them. They used whatever they had, scraps, old thrown away stuff and created something to play with.

Today I feel kids are losing that imagination and creativity. They are always on video games or watching movies, the list goes on. I'm not saying electronics are bad. I'm saying a lot of time on these things is not good. Get off the electronics and be creative with something else!

1 Chronicles 29:18

O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart unto thee:

As Christians we need to keep our imagination and thoughts on our Lord Jesus Christ. God is the One who has given us our imagination and our creativity, so we need to use that for Him and His glory.

I'm so happy to see my little sisters using their imagination.

God Bless,

Believe

"Do you really believe that what you believe is really real?" Dr. Del Tackett

"Your life is not really your story-it's God's story. You belong to Him. He is the one who gets the credit and the glory for you life. And remember, ultimate glory for Jesus means ultimate joy for you." -Sarah Mally

Ballet Performance

Ballet has always been one of my favorite things to do. I started when I was five and did it until i was nine. When we moved down to Texas we didn't find a ballet studio and decided to concentrate on other things. I really missed ballet and wanted to dance so badly.

I prayed about it and tried to stay content in not being able to do ballet.

God is good! We found a little ballet studio in Bulverde!! I've now been doing it for two years and have enjoyed it tremendously!! This Fall I will be able to get into pointe shoes!!

My ballet recital was last night! I had such a great time performing and thank God for allowing me to continue to dance!

God Bless,

Guy, Anna Laurie, and Jacqui

We were at a party and of course I brought my camera :) I had some great little models that were just playing around so i decided to capture the moment and take pictures of Guy and Anna Laurie. The lighting was beautiful so I had Jacqui pose for me. I got a few good pictures and hope you enjoy them :)

God Bless,
