What is it about certain things that keep us from what we are searching for? Why can't we just walk over and ask for what we need, how hard is that? In our tspirituality, what keeps from redeeming ourself to Christ. Is it the fact,that we can't see him, hear him, talk to him, in a mortal way? We can, he speaks through others to us.
Recently, I started a Beth Moore bible study, Breaking Free. Just when I thought that this woman could not get anymore amazing, interesting, or closer to my heart, I start this bible study, and realized, WAIT! Its much deeper then just her preaching to us. Its her preaching to us that we need to understand the basic fundamentals of why Christ was born, died, and was risen? It comes down to this phrase, "You cannot experience healing without being wounded". Exactly as Christ did, he experienced all of our pain, suffering, wounds, etc. in order for us to be healed. Another great phrase, "Sometimes the only time someone will look up, is when they are at the bottom".
Pondering a bit, "the bottom" could be at varying levels, it could be to the lowest point in your life to a minor problem you are trying to deal with. It doesn't always have to be a dramatic means to your suffering, many times, its that "a ha" moment that you realize, Ok Lord, I see what's going on.......
So, I will cross the border, over to him, because he does not care about my past, or sins I have made, he does not care what I wear, where I live, how I dress, whether I was raised a Christian, all he cares about is that I've made the strive to come into his presence.
I am looking forward to crossing that border on Sunday, as I will receive my adult baptism. Looking forward to a new beginning. :)

Brides and Blankies
I've been a bad blogger, I was doing really good for a few days, and now its been over a week since I've blogged. So to catch you all up, this is a two part blog, Brides and Blankies.
Part 1: Brides
So, L'Esprit had a wedding shoot in Clearwater Beach over memorial day weekend. The bride, Katie, is a nurse in Norfolk, VA. What's truly inspiring about her, is not only passion for wanting to help people(being a nurse for new babies), but
in supporting her husband, a Navy officer. Sometimes he can be deployed for 3-6 months at a time, even longer. I don't know what I do without Hans for a week! But.......many military wives, like Katie experience this as a part of their day to day life. My heart truly goes to all the women who stand behind their men as they serve their country to support our freedoms. To brag on Hans a little bit, his pictures of this wedding were breathtaking, and it was truly a team effort, with three of us working it, including our other photographer, Mike Clementi. Here is the beautiful bride, Katie....
Part 2: Blankies
So, by now, you know I've started sewing. By no means am I actually "good" at it, but I have attempted a few projects in the last few months, thanks to help of some friends. I am doing the easy stuff. The harder stuff seems to take much longer, and have b
een really pressed for time lately. But, for a good friend, of mine, Katy (diff spelling, haha), is having her second child, a baby girl, and her shower is tomorrow!! I decided to find some cool flannel at Joanns and make a nice big (36X36) receiving blanket. Good for swaddling, burping, and whatever else the baby wants to do with it, lol. Here is a pic of the nicely wrapped gift:
