Counting My Blessings

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power 
that is at work within us,

Ephesian 3:20

I think that by looking around my blog, it's evident that I have a passion of photography. Each passing day, I think that passion grows stronger. For the longest time, our family has only owned point and shoot cameras. We had two Kodak cameras (terrible!) and we now have a Nikon CoolPix. Most of the photographs that I've posted on my blog were taken with the Nikon and I think that they came out great. Recently, my parents invested in a... you guessed it, a DSLR camera. We got a DSLR Nikon. I absolutely love it! I am thankful that God saw it fitting to bless me... I mean my family with a new camera:) I am going to have a ton of fun snap amazing shots with it.

On another note, I have had a cold for a few days now. I think that the sudden climate changes here in New York have caught me off guard and finally taken it's toll. I am thankful even for the stuffy nose, the constant sneezing and even having to take cough medicine. I have declared my healing, knowing that God sees fit to strengthen my immune system.

and by his wounds we are healed.

Isaiah53:5

Every month, our church has a Sunday service that the children direct (meaning that the children sing the praise/ worship, collect the offering, and bring the sermon) Each of these services are special in their own way and are truly a blessing. The Sunday that just passed was a service directed by the children and Ail, a friend and I sang the worship. Standing up in the altar is defiantly a privilege and when you stand up there, you can feel the presence of God. 

I designed two blogs and think they came out really nice.

Aili wanted something adventurous, including the colors gold, brown and yellow. Check out her blog to see the entire design.

Kathryn wanted something simple and she expressed her love for the color blue. Check out her blog to see the entire design.

What are you thankful for this week? I love thinking back on God's goodness!
