this is the story of hagar

 I see you.

You’ve been taken and trodden;
All that you are has been used.
You have done what they wanted—
Now you’re broken, confused.

Hagar2-bwHagar7-bwHagar9-bw
I see you.

Desperate, discouraged, you think you’re alone
But I call out to you by name.
Look up! Fear not—surrender to Me;
Only I can erase your shame.

Hagar15-bwHagar17-bwHagar18-bw

I see you.

The child born of your circumstances
Is not by them defined;
I AM Redemption and Blessing,
And your son will be Mine.

Hagar20-bwHagar21-bwHagar22

Then she called the name of the Lord who spoke to her,
“You are a God who sees.”
Genesis 16:13a

the lovely larissa

 

You know what makes me really, really happy?

People who love to have their picture taken. I’m pretty sure my classmate Larissa is the first person I’ve met who really, truly just loves it. It’s awesome.

And she’s gorgeous.

asher and the zoo


Asher is less than two years old. He has blond curls (that is, he’s the cutest child of my acquaintance) and is a genius (he already knows his numbers and alphabet). He has adorable toddler-talk, powerful toddler-tantrums, and immense toddler-show-off capability. So you know I had fun taking pictures of his recent trip to the zoo. :)

Definitely my favorite zoo animal. I love big cats!

And since we’re on topic, I’m going to include a few pictures I took at an exotic wildlife place back home in Washington but never got around to blogging (sadly I had to shoot these from the car, which meant through the fence):
