A beautiful bride

I was a guest at one of my friend's wedding. A beautiful bride, with her permission, I post one picture I adored which I had shoot picture in this blogging site. This picture remind me as a church act as a bride waiting for her groom come, is Jesus.

Latest update

I have been busy like bee last few months. I have been behind in posting blogs. I am updating these photos I recently shoot for my clients. Here it is below:

Most people and friends have send me feedback on which pictures they choose. On top of all, they choose a picture of a pair of glass laid on the 'Bible' with a paw of a cat. I believe they have chosen very wisely, and that is one I choose. I have a reason behind the picture.

When one morning I have homework assignment due that night at Clark College. I have been worried what to shoot, my mind is so blank, would not think of anything else to shoot. Then I knelt and pray for His wisdom help me to choose something that will bring glory to Him.

With this, I get up, and looked around the living room and walked into the kitchen. My eyes fell on a beautiful leather Bible, a gift for my son's graduation from his church. I decided maybe Lord wanted me to use this Bible for the shooting assignment. So I took this Bible and laid it open on the table on the white board.

Then I began to shoot. All a sudden, our young black and white cat jumped onto the table and purred in front of my lens. It get in my way of shooting, even being caught snapping shown in the picture. It annoyed me. I processed to delete the bad ones with half body of cat in the way. I moved the cat away from the Bible, but she subbornly laid down beside the Bible comfortablely. I began to shoot some more. Then I noticed cat's paws in the picture. Idea came into my mind.

Away went I shoot several more of cat's paws and her body as a part of picture with Bible. I added an pair of glass that belongs to my older son. It completes the picture. I really am happy with the picture, knowing it is God's way of saying 'Here is my idea of putting cat in your way so you can be more creativity, and having fun as well.'

I like idea of cat's paw in the picture. I chose that picture because it can say, 'I can read the scripture for you, John 3:16!'

Hope you enjoy!

Screaming! Screaming!

I was climbing up the stairs this afternoon to retrieve my favorite black jacket from my bedroom. My eyes caught something on left side to the boys' bedroom in the hall. I saw my dog sitting in the box under the warm light. I screamed at top of my lung!! The first thing came to my mind wondering, 'Did my dog eat all three duck eggs???!!??'

My dog look startled at my screaming and she stared at me from the box.

She has not made any move when I draws near. I checked the box, much to my relief the all three Mallard duck eggs that my son just recently discovered by the road (the mother Mallard duck was killed by traffic) are still there laid beside her.

While I kneeled and watched her, she made a soft nozzle nosing at these three eggs. As if she is making a new friends with these eggs. Seem that she knew the eggs are animals, and perhaps she planned to take care of the eggs. At same time, she feel so good under the warm light is big reason for her jump into the box and being roasted under the light.

I was smiling at the sweet and innocent mother dog, and then I ran downstairs to grab my camera and came back to shot the several pictures of cute sighting.

Enjoy.

Finally after she was done nozzling at these three eggs, and laid her chin down to go sleep peacefully while guarding her new friends, duck eggs. I am happy to witness the sweet and innocent mother dog taking care of another animals. Thanked God for wonderful experience!

Out of the Mouth of Babes - written by Ellie Green

I read this story, and got a laugh out of it and sort of sweet truth in it. I thought I would like to share with you what Ellie Green wrote.

"During a Sabbath worship service in our church in Charlotte, North Carolina, the elder assigned to lead the morning prayer asked the congregation to kneel and join him in a season of silent prayer. As everyone the the pews began kneeling, I decided to remain seated to avoid disturbing Riley, my 2-year-old granddaughter, who was comfortably snuggled in my lap with her eyes closed and her favorite pink pacifier in her mouth.

All went well for a few seconds. Then the sudden absence of sound in the sanctuary as the congregation prayed silently caused her little eyes to snap open in puzzlement. She listened intently for a moment. Then, in the continuing stillness, she sat bolt upright. For several moments she gazed at the people whose heads were bowed and eyes closed. Then, jerking the pacifier out of her mouth, she startled everyone around us by yelling at the top of her lungs, "WAKE UP!"

Riley was confused by the unexpected laughter of the worshipping saints. Looking up at me, she innocently asked, "Why is everybody laughing at me?"

I hugged her to muffle my own giggles and said, "They are laughing because you just preached the best sermon I have ever heard. And you did it in just two words!"

Riley's advice is biblical, you know. You will find it in Romans 13:11: "And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed." Jesus is coming soon. The signs are all around us. The world is in turmoil. The celestial clock is ticking the final countdown of the ages. This is not the time to be spiritually lethargic and apathetic! It is not the time to have our spiritual eyes closed. Jesus is coming very soon. And sometimes when we least expected it, out of the mouth of a babe and straight to our hearts comes a vital message: 'WAKE UP!"

Thank you, Riley. And thank You, Jesus. We are so glad Your coming is near."

If I love You

If I love You -
I will take out the trash.

If I love You -
I will drag myself from the busy morning, day or night to open
the loving Bible and sit down to read about how to love you better.

If I love You -
I will stop whatever I am doing and kneel or quietly close my eyes
and pray to be saved by your Love.

If I love You -
I will want to give up my bad habits.

If I love You -
I will regularly go to bed early to stay healthy and be nourished.

If I love You -
I will take time to chat with you.

If I love You -
I will cut my time on the computer.

If I love You -
I will wake up early, around 6 or 7 am to say 'thank you' for your wisdom.

If I love You -
I will stop worrying so much about cooking to please others.

If I love You -
I will stop watching too much T.V. and pay more attention to You.

These are 'lists' of 'If I love You's' and 'wills'.
But without Your love, I am nothing.

It is better to have Your love in me to do the things willingly
So I may find delight in serving You.

Beautiful Flowers God had made...

I took my dogs for a walk. I came by and saw this flower blossomed and glittered after shower of rain that day. How beautiful it is! I wanted to share with you for a moment to bright your day.
