It's amazing how things can change in a day. Yesterday afternoon I was happily piling up books at the bookstore that I decided to put on my summer reading list. I plan to wait for the coupons every week and buy them one at a time. But by the time I was on the way home my mouth was in so much pain from the dental work the day before I couldn't see straight. Dr.White hooked me up with some help, but the pain was still bothering me so much I couldn't sleep. Which I decided to see as a blessing by the end of the night. My brother is here, so when Matt got home after picking up Grace from a late dance class and hung out with Randy downstairs, I decided to nurse my sore mouth and read my novel (If I Stay) and let them catch up. Which was fine until Matt came upstairs at 10PM with some really serious difficulties at work. When you're responsible for clients who need everything to go smoothly or they lose millions of dollars in a matter of a couple weeks the pressure is so great. Right now Matt is having a hard time seeing a light at the end of all this. I saw the blessing in my sore jaw in that I knew it would keep me up after I prayed Matt to sleep. Life is all so hard sometimes. I wish I could take this current of peace that flows underneath it all in my soul, "it is well," and pour it into Matt. But that is something he must receive from the Lord.
We appreciate your prayers today friends.

I have been trying to put into words my thoughts on your gift of capturing the beauty and details of what you see (like laying down
flat on your back in front of the catholic church in Canela!) But I did come across what I believe is what you are all about…and I quote“a good photographer has the ability to see the world from unique angles, to capture details others overlooked, to create magic out of the mundane.” I believe you do that in the most natural of
ways. Thanks for being patient with people like me who don’t think there's much that can be done with their picture! I love seeing all that magic you send my way.

Thank you, Mom. If I would only learn what all the other buttons on my camera could do!
I'm so grateful for the extravagance digital allows. I mean, if you take 400 pictures, you can usually get at least 10 worth keeping!
Thanks for your prayers.

I am so thankful for the "light" that continues to guide us through the tunnels.
Love you guys and continue to pray God's grace and guidance upon you both.
