As I was preparing for my second semester of classes (already? I KNOW!) I became overwhelmed when I began reviewing the requirements for Cal Poly SLO. I plan on attending their architecture department as soon as I can complete my general ed and pre-requisites which is going to take a lot of diligence and perseverance on my behalf. For those who have not trekked the college course, it can be very confusing when trying to sort through all that you need to accomplish to move on to the next stage of your education. Not to mention that general ed is very boring and seems irrelevant to your career choice. I’ve already seen a spike in my laziness and have realized how quick it is to put off something as simple as reading and then fall behind. 

After taking in far too much information about college for one night, I found myself worried and frazzled when thinking about the next 5 or more years. How on earth am I going to be able to do this not only financially, but diligently?! It is times like these that I am so happy to have a reliable source of comfort and love to turn to. 

God immediately drew my attention to Philippians 4:13:

The answer to my problem is Jesus Christ. No matter the situation, time, or trouble, it will always be my faith in Him that pulls me through. This season of my life will take a lot of praying and faith on my behalf to be accomplished. I thought I would just share my thoughts about this and ask for the prayer of you, my readers. I know that many visit my blog and I love sharing with all of you, so perhaps you could share your prayers and thoughts with me. These next years are going to be full of excitement and fun, and if you promise to keep reading, I promise to keep sharing.

Viva la vida. (Live the life)

I put a lot of time organizing for this wedding and prayed continuously about it and am thankful that God showed his amazingness through it all. (I like that word, even though it may not be one!) The wedding was beautiful and the pictures turned out the same! Everyone was very cooperative and we managed to get some really awesome stuff. I am honored to have worked with two beautiful families. Thank you both very much! I hope you enjoy the wedding portraits!

all i am going to say is that i went home very, very happy! i will post many more soon…
