The Lord's Fire

"Why are we so quick to rid ourselves of pain?  It is often the refining fire of our Lord. Before we flee the furnace, let us first make sure it is the hand of the Lord that leads us out.  Remember, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego?  It was the Lord who lead them to the fire, it was the Lord who was with them in it, and it was the Lord who led them out, unscathed and set free."

Good evening . . .

. . . friends, the blog might be a bit quiet these next few weeks as wedding planning (for a newly engaged couple I know;) has me busy.  I'm going to leave you with one of my favorite recent finds, as far as quotes go.

"The trial ahead of you, is never as great as the power behind you."

Baby A. : Portrait Session // Freeport, IL

She's definitely a mama's girl.  In fact her mother and grandmother really deserve half of the credit for all the darling cuteness below because it was they who kept her smiling and happy for my camera. :)  Thank you!

I'm so glad I got to work with this little doll.  Her big blue eyes are stunning and she's just a little sweetie.
