Instagrams.

In October I decided it was time I upgraded and got with the times... so I bought myself my very own iPhone. I knew when I decided to make such a big investment that it was by no means necessary, but I chose to take the leap regardless and enter the world of smart phones. Honestly, it's been nothing but good {with the exception of also being sucked into the world of Twitter... 0kay who am I kidding? I love it}. One of my favorite things is having 'Instagram' in my pocket at all times. Maybe it's cliche, but I thought the easiest way to share a little piece of what's been going on in my life for the past 3 months would be to post my Instagrams since October.

So here goes {with a little explanation to keep it interesting}...

God has given me so many incredible opportunities over the past three months... A lot of precious memories were made in those places, with those people and I am grateful to have images to look back on and enjoy.

"I will praise you forever for what you have done;

in your name I will hope, for your name is good."

Psalm 52:9

"Because your love is better than life,

my lips will glorify you.

I will praise you as long as I live,

and in your name I will lift up my hands."

Psalm 63:3-4

May I never forget that He is the one who gives me life and the freedom to live it to the fullest.

"I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full."

John 10:10b

love,

B
