He Arose!

Sparkles of a brand new snow, they remind me of the brand new beginning when Jesus Christ defeated death. His followers were without hope and just plain scared; when Jesus returned, He gave them hope and strength:)

Remember that guys, He arose.

Like Snow

Samuel Taylor Coleridge

   May the words of my mouth always glorify the One who gave me the ability to speak, may they bring Him honor among those who do not know Him, and may my thoughts remain uplifting and pure. Like snow.

"Gracious words are like a honeycomb, sweetness to the soul and health to the body." Proverbs 16:24

Oh, I have so many snow and frost pictures guys! These last two are my favorites:)
I have to work on my bokeh and focusing though...
Even though Tuesday was the first day of spring it doesn't feel like it yet! At my house, we still have several feet of snow!!! Seriously.

  So long, farewell! 

My Favorite Irish Holiday

     (First of all, how awesome is this new design? Storyteller was great through all my indecisiveness and silly requests and such:) Shout-out to Storyteller for overcoming my fear of blog change!)

     

     So anyway, Happy Saint PATRICK'S Day! 

(Just got a new graphics editor and I love it! BTW, this is a rare moment, but I did not take this photo:( It is a super detailed HDR of the Chicago River dyed green for S.P. Day!)

     Yesterday I went around taking photos of anything green and then I used color selection to only include green. :P Here's the pictures:

Unfortunately, although I have seen their work everywhere (all my left socks are missing, as well as three of my pots of gold)  I was unable to catch a leprechaun with my camera. :( 

Ah Ireland, I would love to travel there, being part Irish:) I never have been to the Emerald Isle, so obviously I didn't take this either...  Someday I will!

  

As You've Probably Heard...

    It's Valentine's Day! 

It's not too extravagant, but I loved making it for you all:) 
This is for the normal days made special by a long-ago deed of love and bravery. 
An act of defiance and a determination to follow God's will.
To Saint Valentine, on this day of love and sweetness.

"If I sing, but don't have love,
I waste my breath with every song,
I bring an empty voice, a hollow noise.
If I speak with a silver tongue,
Convince a crowd but don't have love,
I leave a bitter taste with every word I say.
So let my life be the proof,
The proof of Your love
Let my love look like You and what You're made of
How You lived, how You died
Love is sacrifice
So let my life be the proof,
The proof of Your love."
(For King and Country - Proof of Your Love)
