Divine Encounters

I felt very inspired to post a blog today on this necklace piece. Take a closer look and you will find its a heart with a cross carved within it. I pulled it out of my purse to show it to a friend and my heart sank as I couldn't find it. By the grace of God it was under my car seat. This wooden pendant is very symbolic and special to me. I believe God speaks very loudly to me through crosses and hearts; its His way of symbolically saying, "I love you so much & I am here". Every time I encounter a heart or cross in front of me physically I can't help but smile because I know how much my Heavenly father appreciates me.

I delivered food to this table at work (I'm a waitress) and this older gentlemen was wearing this piece on a string of hemp. It caught my eye and I told him how much I appreciated his necklace. Without hesitation He took it off and handed it to me and said, "Its yours." I was beyond touched. Not only did He not know me, He gave me a piece of his own artwork that He carved. Divine encounter? Heck yea. God always wants to speak to us, and grow close to us. Never ignore the nudging of your heart - its God.

Alex Rice

I had a blast spending the day with Alex Rice at the Joshua Wilton House. She is such a natural beauty & definitely model material! She did a fantastic job and we couldn't have found a better place. I have never been to the Joshua Wilton House and when I went in my jaw dropped. I couldn't believe how old it was, yet very elegant. It complimented Alex's classic look perfectly. If you get a chance stay the night, or grab dinner. You won't be sorry. Again, thank you to The Joshua Wilton House for allowing us to use your space!

Aspiring Actress-Part 2

Hi friends! I am back again with the beautiful Brittany Young. If you remember, I recently posted some images of her out in the woods looking gorgeous as ever. These are her recent headshots and all I have to say is, "Get ready Hollywood!"

Friends Forever

"Together forever, never apart. Maybe in distance, but never in heart.”

This is a blog dedicated to my two best friends: Michelle Shepherd & Ashley Fant. I shot these photos at Bisset Park in Radford, Virginia. The day before New Years Eve we each wrote a letter about 2010 and where we want 2011 to take us. They are sealed in an envelope waiting to be opened next New Years Eve. These girls have been there for me through thick and thin. We have laughed hysterically and shed a lot of tears. You both are so dear to me and I love you with all my heart!

Love you gals!

In order: Deserae, Rose, Annette, Emily

As everyone knows I am a huge fan of Barnes and Noble. I spend most of my free time there journalling, editing photos, reading & meeting people. I recently went a few days ago and happened to glance over at this girl with a cross tattoo on her ring finger ( God is really good at getting my attention with visuals, especially cross symbols). Listening to a little of their conversation I realized this group of girls were having a Bible Study. I couldn't help but to go over there and join them. They each told me about themselves, and where God was taking them on each of their journeys. They asked if they could pray for me & with no hesitation I let them do their thing. Its amazing how the Lord spoke through each of them to say just what I needed to hear. It was completely a "God Moment" that I was there in that place, at that specific time. Thank you Deserae, Rose, Annette & Emily for sharing a little piece of your testimonies with me. Your encouraging words truly touched me.

Lastly, whenever you feel that urgent pull towards something or hear that voice inside of you don't ignore it. God is speaking. Its up to us to tune in and follow.
