I have not blogged in the longest time and I dont even know if its read anymore but I am just beaming with God’s love right now. He is so good to my family and I am so thankful for having His love in my life. He takes my hand and guides me when I am sraying and shows me where the path is agian. He picks me up when I fall and dusts me off and I am so thankful for that. We are doing good here in AZ. My little N started Kindergarten and is doing wonderful. A and R are having fun getting to know each other in a whole new way. Hubby is doing so well and working so hard for our family with side jobs on weekends and full time work and practice all week long. God is good to keep us focused on Him and what is good and right! Thank You Lord!
Nap time

The other day when I was reading the Srewtape letters, I got to a part that was what I was going through. Screwtape (a high up demon) was advising his nephew (a lower down demon) on how to “save” his human from heaven. You have to read this if you havent yet! Its by C.S. Lewis! Anyways. He was advising him to keeping his humans thoughts on himself instead of “the Enemy” (God). It really made me think about my last few days and how I was struggling with what I should do and if I am this or I am that…and it just hit me! I should be waking up every day reading Gods word as my armor and praying all throughout the day. I have to stay focussed on Him in all that I do. I know that is impossible but if my focus is the Lord than I wont have time to worry about myself and what I am doing because He will be taking care of me already. I dont know if this is all jumbled up and doesnt make sense…but I am just happy that I was hit by the piano yesterday! If the Lord opens doors for me to do my business, then I will. He is my focus and then I know all things will work out for His glory!
Playin in the dirt!

Today is a refreshing day! I got to go to our church ladies prayer for the first time! I think satan wants us to forget how important fellowship and prayer are when we gather together! God really showed me how my focus can not be on me…it should be on Him and then all things come together for good! I started reading the screwtape letters by C.S. Lewis and I know Satan is not so happy about that! I have been getting attacked from every angle since I started reading my bible every day and I just need to keep my focus on surrendering my days, minutes, and even seconds to HIM! Thanks for prayers and encouraging words! It is always a blessing to be reminded in a gentile way by the Lord, but sometimes it needs to be the piano falling on our heads before we get what He is saying!
Hearts and handsOriginally uploaded by angsphotos.I am pretty tired today! The girls were a little rough because we were out a lot of the day. R missed her morning nap and we were at Grandma Jonis durring her afternoon nap and that got messed up also. So she was a grump when we went to Jess and Nates house while the boys played bball tonight. They were all ready for bed tonight! I have kind of been feeling like maybe I should stop pushing my photography business so much. I dont know if it is what I should be focussing on right now. Should I be thinking more about the kids lives and how I can better them and how I can be a better wife? It has always been a dream to have a business and all but I want to be doing what is honoring the Lord. I dont think it is really taking a lot of time away from my family but I know TJ is really busy working his normal job then he is doing side jobs then he is practiceing and then he might play bball too. So I dont want to have to ask him to stay home with the girls while I take someones pictures. And I dont want to keep asking family to watch them all the time either! I just dont know if it is my season to do this right now. So if you read this…and you pray…please pray that the Lord gives me direction in what to do!

I get to go to my first overnight ladies retreat this weekend. Its just Friday night and Saturday day, so its not really all weekend. I am really excited to because the church asked me to take pictures the whole weekend. Thats a big comliment to me. I am really looking forward to being relaxed and around some amazing women of God. I have gone to them before but never overnight. I always came home each night and went back durring the day, so that should be fun. I think I am going to share a cabin with three really great friends, one of which is here from Texas (where we just moved from). It should be a really great time of worship and fellowship and then of course some good fun! I hope everyone has a wonderful Mothers day!

My brochure
Originally uploaded by angsphotos.
Well I am off and running. I am going to put this brochure as many places as I can. I really just pray that this business brings glory to the Lord and that I can bless other people with the pictures that I take. I am going to have a base pay and then make a CD of all of the pictures and give it to them. They will be able to take it then to Costco or anywhere they want and get the prints developed that way. I dont want to charge an arm and a leg for prints just to make money. I want to do this to bless people. Pray that things go well with it!

Well our adventure is underway. We are now living in our house and have been for two nights now! It is so nice to have this place. TJs mom and Jerry put up with us for three weeks! A week longer than we had all thought possible. They were so great to jumble up their days to make us welcome and give us a warm place to stay and food to eat.
We are so glad to be back in Prescott. We feel so much at home here, more than either of us thought. We are getting plugged back into Calvary and are blessed with it there. TJ had been asked to play bass on the worship team and also play for the next Driven event (a really awesome consert with worship music). He is pretty excited. I am hoping to start my photography business. I have done one “shoot” (I feel funny saying that) for a friend. I am hoping to do her baby’s pictures soon also!
The girls are adjusting so well. They have really done amazingly well for the changes they have gone through in such a short time. Rylee managed to get sick with a really bad tummy bug and get her top tooth in at the same time as us living with TJs mom and Jerry. All but TJ and Audrey got it too 
TJ has his insurance lic. now and is working for American Family officially. He is enjoying it and cant wait to really get it going. The Lord really opened the doors for him to do that rather than Mortgage and we are so glad he did. He has since talked to one of the guys who works at the old mortgage place and its doing even worse. We welcome every prayers you might have for us for sure! We know that this is such an oportune time for satan to try and nudge his way in!
So the adventure moves forward…
Dead but alive in beauty

We will be loading out moving truck up on Thursday with some friends and we are camping out in our empty living room that night. We will drive out early that Friday morning and hopefully be home late that night or most likely early Saturday. We are all excited and ready to be there. TJ is taking the Insurance job and will be working for American Family Insurance. It is much more stable than the home loans and the Lord seemed to be leading us to do that. I am hoping to start my photography business soon after we get settled in. I cant wait to be doing that! I love it so much! Please pray for a safe trip and that the girls do well! I will have them all in the van for the trip there!
