Family Photography With A 6-Month Old
I love getting family pictures done. I love coordinating our outfits, coming up with a color scheme and thinking through what will look good together. And I love planning where we should be.
For these pictures, the lovely Lindsey Goggin with Lindsey Goggin Photography took our photos and we loved how they turned out. As my sister-in-law so aptly put it, "You look like a frolicking family of wood nymphs!" That's how we felt, too.
If you're wondering about getting pictures done with your baby, this is your sign to do it! They will turn out adorable and it's fun to have photos with your baby that will last a lifetime.
With Joy, Jessica
A few months ago I released a video on TikTok detailing a vision I received from the Lord while at women's Bible study one evening. Our Bible study would begin with a time of worship, moving into a Bible reading of the passage we would be studying, followed by a teaching taken from the text we had just read.
One evening we were reading through Colossians chapter 3, and when we got to verse 10 the Lord sent me into a vision.
There are certainly seasons that He gives us in which we are given peace and rest on all sides- but when do we most often crave that peace that surpasses all understanding? It's during times of evil and intense hardship that we cry out for the Lord to put our hearts at ease! And during these times when we call on Him, He will come forth in the person of Jesus and lead us in His everlasting peace, with grace and mercy. We need His peace most when our circumstances lack the light.
We know from scripture that there are 5 crowns awaiting us in heaven. I have always read that to mean we don't have them yet. But the Lord showed me that the day we said yes to Jesus, is the day He crowned us in heavenly places. We can walk tall knowing heaven's glory is on our head. We can stand in our current position knowing the Lord has clothed us in royal finery. We can hold our head high, despite our circumstances, knowing that the Lord is for us.
Praying scripture is one of the easiest, and most beneficial ways we can pray! For we know that the Word of God is living and breathing and active, but also that His wonderful words put into prayers delight His heart. He loves it when we pray His words back to Him! He loves answering those prayers too.
