Prayers

Prayers are always needed and I have a special request. My cousin Kya is undergoing a Bone Marrow Transplant while her older sister is the Donor on Monday and needs everyones prayers. I know my mom and dad need the link to her Caring Bridge site, so click here. There are photos and  Journal updates each day.

Another request is for my good friend Tiffany whose twin boys were diagnosed with Twin to Twin Transfusion Syndrome while in the womb. They were rushed to Cincinnati, OH and under went Laser Surgery and kept under close watch. The babies were born at 28 weeks and 2days and weighed just over 3lbs. Because of such a premature birth the boys and family will be staying in the NICU in Cincinnati, OH for a few more weeks. This means no income for the past month. As far as I know, the health of the babies has been improving, but prayers and support are always needed. To view their Caring Bridge site, click here and click here to donate.

Tidbits

I know I haven't blogged a whole lot lately so I decided to tell inform whoever may read this about what I am up to lately.


1. It's been one month since we got back from our European escapades. This truly makes me sad, because I would do absolutely anything to hop on a flight to Scotland and never come back. It's quite tempting at times. I think I'm having withdrawals.


2. I recently got a new part-time job with Legacy Photography here in Fargo as a Photographer and Editor which I am loving right now since It's super laid back and the people are awesome! Check out their website here!


3. My photography has definitely picked up, but I'm looking to make moor bookings. I get so excited about the littlest things and I know that this is one thing that makes me truly happy. I love shopping for new props and searching for new ideas. Ahh, I love it!


4. School starts soon which really is a love/hate thing. I absolutely love getting to see everyone again and being on a schedule, but I dislike the work that comes along with it. I'm debating on taking on 18 credits, but I know that may be an extremely bad idea. I'm really excited to learn about studio lighting in my photography class, working on self-developed projects in my Graphic Design senior studio, and learning more about web design in my Graphic Communication classes! I'm definitely going to be well-rounded.


5. I've been attending a really awesome church here in Fargo called River City Church. It's an awesome church plant that is full of people around my age. I love how every sermon pertains to my life in some way, and the way that they have communion is very personal. This week is was about giving your best fruits to God. It was very convicting, and something to definitely think hard about. 'What am I giving to God?' I started attending a small bible study on Wednesday nights which is awesome! It keeps me in the word and has already gotten me connected with some amazing Christians my age! I definitely need that around.


That is a short tidbit of what is happening in my life. I hope you all are having an amazing summer!
