I think a lot of me being a horrible blogger is that when I comes down to it, I'm somewhat a very personal person. I have never looked at it that way, but a lot of times I find myself saying, does the whole world need to know these things or my feelings? I realize, though, that a lot of what we feel can be related to by those around us.
Truth is there is a lot weighing on my heart and mind... And, today I'm going to share a little bit of my heart. I'm still completely exhausted from our very sick week last week with Avery.. so this may turn into a bit of a ramble.
I've realized over the past days and weeks that I've become quite the worry wart. I don't know where this comes from it is not me and I don't want it to become me.... I mean okay, I admit, that I am a worry wart when I don't feel well and I always think the worst is wrong with me. (And for some reason I've been so bad about it this past year.) But, aside from that I feel like I have started to stress and worry over other things that I have no control over. And, I'm realizing that its causing me anxiety, and that is not needed. On top of it all, there is a situation so close to my heart that needs PRAYER. So, I beg you to pray. I have to just let any fear, anxiety or worry I have go... and realize that God has me right in the palm of his hand. That alone is so comforting.
Our pastor read this version of Phillipians 4: 6-7 a few weeks back from the message bible. I can't tell you how much I felt like he was yelling it right to me.
Don't fret or worry. Instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life.
This is now my constant prayer.
A friend on FB shared this verse a few days back and once again I felt like it was meant just for me.
I love the Lord because He hears my prayers and answers them. Because He bends down and listens, I will pray as long as I breathe! Psalm 116:1-2

About Me
- Kari
- I am a photographer focused on infant, child, family, maternity, couples and senior photography. I shoot on location, at the location of your choice, in natural light.
I have loved taking pictures for as long as I can remember - anyone who knows me can tell you that. There is just something about it that makes me smile. After the birth of my first daugther, Delaney, my passion for photography ignited. 33 months later came her baby sister, Avery. I have had my camera in my hand every day since. There isn't a moment I want to miss... the tiny toes, the drool, the smiles, the simple things. My girls are my inspiration for everything. You will often find me in the background snapping those natural moments in life that I don't want to see people forget. Sometimes the best photographs are the ones that are unposed and candid. I love the feeling of capturing such sweet moments and will strive to bring your memories to life in a way that you love.
