Prayer & Forgivness

So I have been thinking about blogging about Prayer & Forgiveness. Two essential things in my life and hopefully yours! But the important thing is, knowing HOW to Pray and How to forgive. I do not want anyone to think I am a know it all. Because I am far from it. But I do feel like it is my duty to inform you of what I do know. So here goes.

I had the privelage to watch a movie tonight, Tyler Perry's "I can do bad all by myself". It was a great movie. The part where the young girl was asking Maddea how to pray really made sense. Grandma always says pray about it, but she never taught her how to pray! This is the case with many people! Including one of my great friends I was talking to the other day.

So here are some things I have learned about prayer.

1) You must ask for FORGIVENESS~
You must ask Jesus to forgive you of your sins so that you can pray to him. You must also ask those who you have sinned against to forgive you and forgive those who have sinned against you. In other words. Hold No Grudges!

2) Be Thankful & Give praise! Look around. If you are reading this, then you must have some access to internet. Be thankful for things God has blessed you with and the family members and friends that you have!

3) When you ask for something BE Specific! For example: Bob needs a car to get back and forth to work to take care of his family. He prays every night, please God send me a car. He may be blessed with a brand new car he can't afford, or even blessed with a broke down car that don't work. So be specific. "Please God send me a dependable car that will get me back and forth to work and that I can afford".

4) The Best thing to do is Ask for GOD's WILL in your life! He created each of us with a plan and a purpose. Only He know's what is to happen next in our life. Each min, day, week, month, year and so on. Live one day at a time, but live it for God. If we pray and ask HIS WILL in our life. Where can we go wrong? Nobody ever said it would be EASY!

5)Be easy, just talk like Jesus is your Best friend. Because he is, He will be there when no one else is.

When you end your prayer, I always say "In Jesus name I pray" , like maddea says, it's my stamp to get it up there!

Below is a visual demonstration on Forgivness
~When you don't forgive, the grudge and unforgiveness (the line) blocks the way of your blessings!
~When you forgive your blessings flow down!

This is so true and so powerful!

Passion 4 Photography

So yes. I have finally found the thing I love to do! Photography! I know it seems like the "in" thing now days but I can honestly say i have owned my own camera since i was 12 and loved to use it! It was one of those that used film and you had to wind it into place. No LCD view finder or playback photos.


Now I am using my very first DSLR Nikon D40. It's my first DSLR camera and I do enjoy the many features it comes with! However, I look forward to an even better camera for even better photos!


My true desire to become really good at photography began with the birth of my son! He changes everyday and I don't want to miss any of it and look forward to looking back at my photos to show others how much he has grown! This also led me to realize that I love People photography the most! I think one person has so much to offer, so many different feelings and emotions show through each photo.

Here are a few different web pages I have created to try to get my Photography off to a good start and share my work! Feel free to add or follow me on any of these!

OCD could it be????

What is Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder?
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, OCD, is an anxiety disorder and is characterized by recurrent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) and/or repetitive behaviors (compulsions). Repetitive behaviors such as handwashing, counting, checking, or cleaning are often performed with the hope of preventing obsessive thoughts or making them go away. Performing these so-called "rituals," however, provides only temporary relief, and not performing them markedly increases anxiety.

Signs & Symptoms
People with OCD may be plagued by persistent, unwelcome thoughts or images, or by the urgent need to engage in certain rituals. They may be obsessed with germs or dirt, and wash their hands over and over. They may be filled with doubt and feel the need to check things repeatedly

Yes I believe it is OCD
I am CONSTANTLY turning off the lights around the house. I think this one comes from DAD always saying "turn the light off" growing up. The 2nd one is I am ALWAYS LOCKING DOORS, car doors, house doors, etc. This one comes from my MOM! Growing up, she was always asking, "Did you lock the door?". If there is a door, it is LOCKED! This could be a GOOD thing! I am always cleaning something and I believe everything has its place, some things I just haven't found their place yet! Due to CLUTTER!!! aka TOO MUCH JUNK!

have a great night, gotta go clean~ HA HA

A week without Power!

Did you know that the lower state of Oklahoma has been without power for almost a week! My brother lives in OK and I have been praying for him and his dad to be warm at night and stay healthy through this. They are just 2 of the 142,000 without power.


I miss You Lil Bro! Stay Strong!
