The beginning of a new adventure.


Life is one big book of adventures. Some are good adventures. Some are not so good adventures. Each day holds a new adventure. Today, I am starting a new chapter of adventures in my book of life. This new adventure begins with being a full time live in nanny and babysitter. Only God knows what each day holds. And in each day is a lesson from Him.
"Take delight in the Lord and he will give you the desires of your heart." - Psalm 37:4
This does not mean if we ask for a mansion he will give it to us. This means he will put what we desire in our heart.. He already has every day of our life written down, he wrote our life story before our ancestors were ever born. In this case, God has given me a desire to teach kids and to love on them and encourage them. This is not a desire that I first had from my flesh nature. This is exclusively a desire God has put on my heart. As a way to rekindle my love for photography I have decided to do a 365 day series showing what God is doing in my life, what he will teach me over the next year, and some of the adventures He will lead me to.I'm excited to learn what God is going to teach me here.

The photo above is my brother in law moving my furniture from my apartment in Florence, Alabama so that I can move to Spring Hill, Tennessee. There are so many thoughts and emotions on this day. I'm moving from my home; Florence, Alabama, of the last 3 years. I'm leaving my church family of 2 years. But, I am also excited to get to learn hands on how to be a mom. I'm excited to watch the personalities of each child shine.

Today was my first day to keep all 3 of them. It's so funny to watch my 7 year old nephew "head banging" in the car while Disciple is playing on the radio. And it excited me when my 2 year old nephew recognized a red lifesaver gummy, and he told me it was red. And my 10 year old niece is definitely coming upon the preteen years where she's on the phone all the time.
