Sometimes

posted on: 8.09.2012




I decided to challenge myself to shoot  e v e r y d a y.
In the past, I've started doing the 365 project and failed.
This time I'm starting small & doing it for a month.
August is a good month for new beginnings.
I'm hoping to develop the habit of just having my camera at all times.
But more importantly, I want my picture to be tied with my morning devotions.
I refuse to not see Jesus in the mundane. Sometimes, the mundane teaches us the most about Him.

  6. I did the 365 except for one day I gave it up to God to fully enjoy a youth retreat. It is so amazing! I think you are so awesome to tie it in with making time for Jesus every morning. Thumbs up.:)

  8. that's so good. i have been struggling with this too. i instagram a lot (as you may have noticed) but i've been wondering if in a few years, i'll look back on all those square, filtered, captured photos and think, what in the world was i thinking shooting things like that!? i might just sort of indirectly join you on your little challenge. but regardless of how "successful" you are on it, you do greta work ashley! so be encouraged!
