I am in a blogging, photography, and sewing rut.
It stinks
Sniff Sniff
Wait, that could be me, sorry.
What do you do when you are in a rut?

So this week, at I Heart Faces, the theme is Hilarious Outtakes. So, I have decided to go ahead and go through my photo’s and add them in:)
And last, but probably not the least of the outtakes…. So that is it for me, not all that funny, but funny enough for me:) Go ahead and check out the other ones and maybe add your own:) I am so feeling good, Are you? Man, I hope so. It is an awesome feeling to be feeling good. Why do I feel so good and happy? I just got home from the gym. Remember the one I used to go to? Well, that one is a bit far away. So, there is one closer to my home they just built. I am LOVING IT. It is called Planet Fitness and I just had myself a good workout and of course tan:) Tanning makes me feel good and so you nay sayers, it’s ok. I started this weightloss thing last year at 330 pounds. YEP I am admiting my weight. I know shocking right? I was able to get down to 313 before I stopped. I am back at 320. I gained back 7 pounds. Let me tell you, in all honesty, I feel worse now then I did when I was 330. I think because I know better and stopped caring. I stopped eating right, I stopped working out. I stopped measuring myself and weighing in. I stopped it all. I am done. I want to be at 175. I know it will take forever to get there, but I know I can do it. I am still totally planning on getting weight loss surgery as well. Again, nay sayers, it’s ok. I am ready to fight my flesh and eat right. I am ready to fight my flesh and do a menu. I am ready to fight my flesh and go to the gym on a daily or almost daily basis. I am done being unhealthy. Our bodies are a temple. We need to take care of it. I want the Lord to be able to use me in whatever capacity He wants. I also want to get pregnant:) A girl can dream, right? Or was it? The month of February, on a forum I go to was a stash game. Meaning, you sew what you already have, without buying any fabric. Well, I did not buy any fabric. But, I also did not sew. My beloved machines just sat idle all month. Not even plugged in.
I miss sewing. I need to do something about it. Soon Really really soon Maybe today After I stop at JoAnn Fabrics and feel the fabrics. We are moving… Mrsbeesblog is changing names and moving to a new domain name soon!! I love a good debate. I sometimes thrive on debates. Ok, so not sometimes, if you know me, I tend to get into them, Even if I have little no clue about what is going on. I generally never have a clue what why I am getting involved. So, when I was sitting here today, trying to figure out what I am going to do. Photography is a passion of mine. I LOVE IT. I am going to help shoot a wedding this fall. I am excited! I plan on renting a lens for it. I am renting the one I want to buy. Well, the one I want to buy is WAY out of my price league. *cough* So I am going to go ahead with the sister version and go with a different L lens later one. I want the 85mm 1.2 lens. It is an “L” lens. The good glass. Think of dishes. You have your regular everyday dishes and then you have THE dishes. Ya know, the I want to impress the boss china. The L lens is the china where as in the 85mm 1.8 is the everyday. There are awesome reviews of the latter, so I plan on buying that sometime this year. But, first, I want to rent it. To make sure this is what I want to buy. So for a week before the wedding and the week after, I am going to rent the lens and try it, use it and then tearfully say good bye to it. Pretty soon, sometime this Spring, early Summer, I am going to be offering free portraits to seniors in the area. I want to do them for my portfolio. Dude, I was on a rabbit trail, sorry…… The debate. I am trying to think of the name for my Photography Business. I have been using GingerB Photography or GingerB Photo’s and I do like it. But, I have been using the alias Mrs Bee. So maybe Bee’s Photography would be good. So, I did a site search, and someone already has beephotography. Ok, so that is fine. The debate is Which one should I go with? HELP? The debate is HOT here and let me tell you, my family is freezing. Seriosuly. I have been having hot flashes and I have our one door open to let in some cool air, directly on me. I am sweltering. They are under layers of blankets. So, now, I am asking you all. Bee’s Photography or GingerB Photography So, today, we went and did some work for my husband, who is out of town working on some house. So, we went and did some stuff and the van would not start up. It clicked. It clicked some more. But, it did not start. I was without my camera. I was without a bathroom. If I was male, which I am not, I could have peed in a cup, like a certain 7 year old I know. Did I tell ya, I was without a camera? I really need a different camera bag. Maybe one like a purse that I can have all my needs plus the camera with and then, Then I can shoot whenever and whereever and never be without my camera. I have a bookbag, that it goes in. It’s a camera bag and I thought that would be the perfect solution, but it is big and heavy. So, I am thinking, if I got a pursy camera bag, that would help. Ok so I was going to show you the purse I want, I will just link it instead. But, come back here!! Please! Are you back? Good! So, that is something I am sure I could make, but, I rather not. I am just going to save for it. So back to the whole battery being dead. That has never happened to me before, when I was alone with just my children. Never. It was a tad bit scary I think. I was strong. I am glad Daniel came and rescued me! I am home now and blogging…. Bye Last week, we had a missions conference. I love going to these. Here are some shots that I took…. This would be Jon, one of our teens….
And of course this is Christian with Casey in the background. I LOVE how this photo turned out.
My daughter and her friend Christina
At the youth rally, Who is the strongest? It was a close one between these 2.
Brother Robbie Morrison was the preacher for the week. WOW! He LOVES God and he is just an awesome Man of God!!!
Lastly, a missionary shot. THis is the Putney Family. They are missionaries to the Philippines. Not much going on. We have just been really busy. Not entirely a title that I wanted to go for. However, I am about to enter a new season in my life. I am about to become a working mom again. Sad. But such as life and the economy that tanked made it possible for me to go back. I am also a bit excited.
I loved LOVED my old job. I worked at a non for profit agency before and I will be working for another one here in my city. It is a rewarding job to say the least. I do not know my hours, or when I will be starting. I also do not even know if it is part time or full time yet. Though I was told I definitely have a part time position, but as she was checking with me today about it, I told her full time is good for me too, in fact that is what I would rather have. If all that they have for me is part time, I will take it. So, if blogging becomes more sparse, you know why now. At least it would be a good excuse right? Right? Hello? Right? I am a HUGE music fan. Of certain music, of course. I bet you knew that already, didn’t ya? I LOVE just totally adore and dare I say “HEART” Abigail Miller. Her song, “A Song for Mothers” on the Closer to Him cd, really touches deep inside of me. She sings about Cheerero’s on the floor and laundry in the hall kinda hits really close to home. I am sure many of you go through the very same thing each and everyday. But then God just gets ahold of our hearts and makes us realize that we really do see our children through His eyes and that He just uses us to impress upon our children, Christ. I know that at times, thinking of this song, we sometimes feel like “Motherhood is a never ending chore”. We then can just bow down before Him and ask him to help us to see, everything we do, can be a way to offer up my services to Him! Just a cup of cold water, or a kiss on the knee as the chorus suggests. There is so much we can learn, when we see our children through His eyes.
My daughter has sang a song performed and I think written by Abigail Miller. I have showcased my daughter on my blog before, but I will do so here again. Please take a listen. Another “band” or group that I enjoy very much is Joy Belles. One of the songs they sing is Voice of a Shepherd. You can find it at the link I referenced and by the same CD title. The song talks about being broken and empty. The the voice of the Shepherd calls out our name and rescues us from this dark pain. When we accept His simple and free gift. He draws us near him and He tells us that He loves us and that He left the 99 other sheep and came after the one. Praise the Lord!
Just like a good shepherd going after the stray sheep, Christ comes after those that stray from Him. Even once we have accepted salvation, it is just easy to stray from His written word! We stray from even the knowledge we gain, or we stray because someone else did not take the time to disciple us. I know I can and do fit in the latter. I fail so often. I never did a have a real person to disciple me. I am stumbled my way on this walk and I know that some of my faithful blog readers can attest. I have done so much changing over the years. Even since I began my bogging experience. Praise the Lord, that Christ still loves me and comes after me to bring me back into the fold. When another person will judge me because I wear a skirt all the time, or if I stop wearing a skirt all the time. I know when I stopped covering my head, I got a lot of questions and a lot of judgements about not being Holy. All I can say is that, I will never ever be HOLY enough to enter the gates of heaven. The only way to Heaven is through CHRIST!! The only highway to heave is by the cross! Speaking of that last sentence, Crosspoint String Band is another favorite group of mine and my families!! Listen, this family is funny, yet they LOVE CHRIST and preach His word and Sing for His glory! My family will travel hours to hear them when they come to NY. You see, we used to go to the same church as them and before they moved to Tennessee, they hailed from this cold and snowy part of NY. There is so much music out there that does not honor our Lord. Might be sang by confessed Christians, might even have godly lyrics to it, but I have to wonder if God likes it. That is a whole other message and I rather not really get into it at the moment. I might but first I would have to study my bible before I could get into it. I just gave a couple examples of the music that is played in my home. We love to sing together as a family and I am also glad that that is in my home LOL…. Music really can get into our hearts. 2 Chronicles 7:6 And the priests waited on their offices: the Levites also with instruments of musick of the LORD, which David the king had made to praise the LORD, because his mercy endureth for ever, when David praised by their ministry; and the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood. |
