365 Day Photo Challenge

Days 82-92


Race!

The challenge for the week was "reflection".  This is in the ball pit at the residential center.  Luckily you can't see the huge bald spot on the top of her head where she was ripping her hair out :(

This is a different challenge...."Obsession".  My constant obsession is Facebook.  My friends live there ;).  My current obsession is Harry Potter.  When I took this picture I was on book 5 and I just started book 7!

Chris Tomlin!  This was such a great concert.  Chris is the teeny tiny guy on the left with his arm up!
Another one from the concert.  This is Rend Collective when they shot bubbles into the audience.
This was also part of the obsession challenge.  Anya is obsessed with brushes like paint brushes and make up brushes.  She likes to have one in her hand at all times and spends her whole day brushing herself!

My new bracelet.  I love it!
The entrance to Oksana's residential center.

I love daffodils and this was right after a rain.
I have had the incredible privilege of speaking at the women's bible study at my church as well as the west campus of our church.  I shared my journey with Oksana and how God has taught me about love through her.  It's been so healing for me to share her story.  Both times I had women come to me sharing their own stories and I love that we can encourage each other!

Yesterday was Oksana's birthday!  We brought cupcakes to her class!

As always, I love your pictures.

Yes, I also echo Sharon's sentiment! Wonderful photos, each telling its own story.

The race photo made me want to be outside running around too! That's what I love about spring, the opportunity to be outside.

The photo of Oksana made me happy-sad; I love her smile and she looks so adorable in her reflection, but your comment about the bald spot made me sad that she's going through such a rough time of it (and that she had to spend her birthday in the residential center, even though it's the right place for her right now).

The first obsession photo...I too am addicted to Facebook (especially these two games I've been playing!). But I gave up on Harry Potter after getting barely 1/4 of the way through the fourth book. :(

I love the two Chris Tomlin concert photos! I've heard of him but have never seen him perform; I have been to concerts at large arenas like that, though. Looks like a great time!

Anya and her makeup brushes...Way. Too. Cute!

Love your bracelet! It's pretty AND the message is brilliant.

Those daffodils look beautiful...

I wish I had been able to hear you speak at your womens' Bible study. Praise God that you can encourage - and be encouraged - by your experience!

Last but not least...those cupcakes look DIVINE! Love the sprinkles and the curly ribbons. Very festive!
