Sometimes, I nerd-out in my sleep

My latest obsession is my photography gear. While, I don't always understand the technical aspects, I know I have the eye to compose come pretty fun shots. After taking a break from photography, I'm ready to jump back in and I've discovered, I'm ready to learn more and upgrade my stash.

Recently, I took stock of what I need to become a better photographer and I realize, photography as a hobby isn't cheap, But, I'm committed. It's time to retire the stock lens, I got with my kit, and upgrade to the 50mm f/1.4 USM Lens (Super fast and quiet lens, shallow depth of filed, great for portraits). This is one of a few different lenses I plan on buying int he near future. I've been obsessing for days devising my plan for acquiring this gem.

I think my excitement and anticipation carried into my dreams. Last night, I dreamed that I had a pretty great collection and that I had just received in the mail, one of which was the EF 70-200mm f/2.8L USM Lens (great for action sports) and the EF 35mm f/2 Wide Angle lens. I was disappointed when I woke up to discover, I had neither! Well, it's not too far off in the future. I have a plan!

Well, that's all for now, I just wanted to nerd out a little. Enjoy your new years!

The Definition of "The Church" and an epiphany of blessings.

The church, as a believer I define it as the people. Not a building, a place, or a tangible object. Instead, I define church as community, my friends, my relationships, the strength I build in my faith in Christ. The bible says, "where two or three are gathered in my name, there I AM with them." - Matthew 18:20 The church doesn't and shouldn't end with a physical building. But, instead to spread out and be so much more than that. I am the church, you are the church, we are the church. We are vessels of Gods, love and Grace. To reach out and share. Our faith shouldn't end as we walk out of the doors, but extend to every part of our lives. Those who encounter us, should see a change, something different than what is apart of the rest of the world. I realize, I'm speaking something that has probably been drilled into your skulls for what seems like a thousand times over. But, curiosity got the best of me and I decided to Google "The Church." The search ...

WEAK NO MORE

I can't begin to tell you all how great I feel. I'm a long way from my weight goal, but the journey getting there is becoming fun! I've tried a few diets all were emotional rollercoasters that left me feeling like a failure. I saw my future of heart disease and forever feeling weak and useless and started to just let it come. It's funny how I can tell myself, I'm going to have health issues and it doesn't seem to click or even register. However, to have a doctor tell me, I'm pre-diabetic and then it just clicks. Maybe not right away. But I realized, I haven't had children yet, I'm having trouble moving and it's only going to get worse if I don't change something. How am I going to keep up with my kids, share what I love with them, if I can't even do those things myself? SO, thus began my journey, for real this time! I started with a meal plan. Arbonne Nutrition, this is the healthiest i've ever eaten. But, it was maintainable and I ...

CLIMB ON

I've just gotten back into rock climbing. I use to climb all of the time, it was great! I love the feeling of conquering a route. Feeling the strength and fatigue in my hands and arms. Feeling accomplished, on top of world.. well, not really, I don't climb outside... yet!  So, I'm back at it, I've been going to the bouldering gym 5 out of the 7 days of the week. I should probably slow down. But, I am having so much fun. I love, defeating fears and what my mind thinks are my physical limitations. I wonder if it's similar to a runner's high? I wouldn't know, I hate running. Plus my knee swells up like a balloon when I try running, so... I take that as a sign that I just wasn't born to run, which is TOTALLY ok with me! I'm a climber, It's more than just a pure strength thing, it's a puzzle thing. But more than that, I think it might actually be my destresser! I've said for years now, that I do not know how to relax. It drives me crazy...
