The Savvy Photographer Giveaway

My sweet friend Lori directed my attention to an amazing giveaway over at “The Savvy Photographer”. Since I am still trying to build my business I believe that the Workshop Workbook by Skye Hardwick will greatly improve the business side of my photography. Although my chances are slim in winning the Workshop Workbook, I still wanted to give it a shot. If I don’t win, I have to see if my funds allow to purchase the book (heavily discounted until October 21st).

Thanks for stopping by today…have a super blessed weekend…

September 2009 Desktop

September_09 Desktop, originally uploaded by eph2810.

Wow – can you believe that September is just around the corner?!? Amazing how fast this year is going. If you like the desktop, click on the photo — it should take you directly to my Flickr page. Personal use only. The material I used for September’s desktop is by Kitty Designs ‘Autumn Nature‘ available at Oscraps. I really like working with her designs – they are unique and always fun. The photo I took last year at one of my favorites spots in Arizona — ‘Boyce Thompson Arboretum‘. I hope what we can take a trip up to the park this Fall.

Well, normally I am a little late on creating the desktops for the month, but this weekend we took it easy so I thought I get a head start on the busy month ahead. I am very excited about September. I already have 2 photo sessions booked (check out my photo website how to book a session). My friend Lori is also featuring my photo site in the month of September; my birthday is this month…and we will have a wonderful Fall kick-off at Laced with Grace…(oh, and the best part of September – the temps in AZ finally go back under 110 😛 ) …

So, how was your weekend? I hope you had some time to reflect to get strength for the up-coming week..

Thanks for stopping by…Be blessed today and always…

Thankful Thursday ~ Rescue

In you, O Lord, do I take refuge; let me never be put to shame; in your righteousness deliver me! Incline your ear to me; rescue me speedily! Be a rock of refuge for me, a strong fortress to save me! ~ (ESV ~ emphasis mine)

Our Lord is still in the ‘business’ of rescuing. I am so thankful that He had mercy on my soul, sent His son to make a way. You know, the Psalms are my favorite part of the Old Testament. Although the OT is full of encouragement from God’s heroes, the Psalms help me through the days that seem really bleak.

I guess our new ‘puppy’ Corky is just as thankful for being rescued from the pound. Have you ever been at your local pound to look at dogs? It is the hardest thing to do — especially looking into all the puppy eyes. You can just see how they all want to leave — get out — get rescued.

Although we were not able to rescue all the dogs on Sunday afternoon, we gave one doggy another chance to have a happy life. I have to say: I am glad that God takes them all — I mean sinners. It does not matter where we come from, where we have been. Just one look at the cross, reaching out in need — He is there…Oh, Lord, how thankful I am for Your great love for us…

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving your link below. Remember, next week (and the entire month of September) we will meet at Laurie’s place “Women Taking A Stand“.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: No matter where you have been, He will rescue you 😛 .
