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
One element that the Lord has given me revelation into is when we're dreaming about certain parts of a house, and how that correlates to our waking life.
Because our bodies are the temple of the Holy Spirit, often the Lord will show us things about our lives by having us dream about certain rooms in the house. He hides messages for us in symbols, in parable form, to give us instruction about certain parts of our life that He's highlighting for us to work through with Him.
The attic is the top room of your home, and it correlates to the very top room of your spiritual body that houses the Holy Spirit: your mind.
In the very near future we're going to see the Spirt of the Lord poured out like never before- and something that will happen with it is the giving of dreams and visions.
All throughout the Bible, God used visions and/or dreams to speak to His people who were longing to follow His Word, leading and voice. They're available for you today too!
Years ago, I prayed a prayer asking the Lord to give me visions and dreams. A few months later, the Lord answered that prayer and my dream life lit up in a wild way. God took me on an adventure over the course of the next few years as I dove headfirst into studying His Word about dreams.
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.
