Sweet Sammi

So after seeing Bekka's photo shoot with Sammi, I decided to take Sammi on one myself! =)

When we left at six, I had everything planned out, gas for the truck, then to Ralphs for balloons! After getting gas for the truck we headed to Ralphs, I was so excited that everything was working out how I had planned I told Sammi: "Yay! Everything's going smoothly...unless God has something different."
Well, God definetly did have something different. Turns out the guy who was blowing up and tying the balloons as new and not very good at it. =( After ten minutes waiting I was starting to get impatient and I looked at Sammi, she just smiled at me and said: "Well, God had something different." God used Sammi so much in that moment to get my mind out of myself and onto what the Lord had planned. So Sammi and I waited and preached to ourselves until ten minutes later he had finished! We ran to the car and started driving! Sure enough, I got a little lost! But God is faithful and good and we found the place we needed to be in no time!

Anyways! Here are my favorites from our shoot!

The balloons didn't work out so well....

His Grace Dance Ministry

In July we had the pleasure of sharing in His Grace Dance Ministries rehearsal for their show called: "Surrender All". The first half of the show was pure worship and dancing, leading others to worship with them! The second half was called: "Women at the Well". This was all about the women of the Bible, like Esther, Deborah, Mary the mother of Jesus, the women that washed Jesus' feet and Mary Magdalene. It was so great capturing the worshipful movement and the emotions of the dancers that really showed the love for their God and Savior!

Here are just some of our favorites from the rehearsal!

Side note: We are trying to look for a new place to blog...because this blog washes out the color of our pictures and makes them look blurry...we promise they're NOT! haha.

"Shout for joy to God, all the earth; sing the glory of His name; give to Him glorious praise! Say to God, 'How awesome are Your deeds! So great is Your power that Your enemies coming cringing to You. All the earth worships You and sings praises to You; they sing praises to Your name.' Selah."  -Ps. 66:1-4
