52 Weeks of Blessings {Week 8}

2010-06-10T09:19:00.000-07:00

This week in Blessing I want to say "Marrage" is #1 on my list. how great is our God that he gives us a mate to share everything with and also to disagree with, I think both are blessings , because it causes growth and stregth. The ability to Love is the greatest gift we can teach our childern , and the blessings of disagreeing teaches our children to turn straight to God for the answer.

I have had two weeks filled with family,friends,weddings,graduations,work,and everywhere I was I felt the power of God and the greatfulness I have that everyone loved each other.

Today my portraits go up in Davids Bridal Portland, as I pray over ever frames portrait I just feel blessed to have come so far in such a short time.

Well I just had a wondeful day with this family, It has been so great to meet new people in my town,It was such a pleasure to photograph them and now have a new friend.

52 Weeks of Blessings {week7}

2010-05-25T20:07:00.000-07:00

I want to start my week of blessings saying that I am very blessed to have such a wonder pet , and that she is a blessing to me, I feel that this week she has had a blessing , she had 4 puppy's and they are just wonderful.
The blessings that I have received this week have not been financial or material , just full hearted friendship and love.
I feel very blessed that each day lately I have meet and are getting to know wonderful family's and women , that have the same heart for God and it has just been wonderful.
I also feel blessed that my sister, who has waited and listen to God through so much in her life , and chose to make wonderful decisions, even when they where hard , had found the man of her dreams and this weekend , will marry this Man, He is truly a man of God and I love him and his family.

Well all of my stuff is all at Davids Bridal and ready to go, Now it is totally up to God what path that he chooses for it to go, I really do feel that when God starts a good work in you , he will see it to the end, He just might see it a tid bit different and I really want to listen and hear the direction he wants me to go.

So to sum up the blessings list , I am Blessed with friendships,family, a job that is moving forward not backwards, a family that is all married to the men of there dreams, a wonderful pet and the knowledge to know that God has begun a work in me and with see it to the end

Phillippians1:6 He who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ ,developing and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you

52 Weeks of Blesings {Week 6}

2010-05-16T08:12:00.000-07:00

Today in my blog I want to discuss the Power of not giving up and about casting all your cares! These two things are huge responsibility's but are commanded by God that we do them. As I was reading my devotional to day it was discussing how the hard times in life really make you want to give up,so many people start a dream and through the hard time they just cant see past them and give up on this dream! In my devotion ,it was discussing that the hard times are preparation for the greater days the Lord had ahead.

This really gets me thinking, how many times I wanted to give up during harder time and how "WOW" this to will pass , has come and gone. I have cryed tears and sometime I feel like I was going a bit crazy but the power of my God is far more powerful than my craziness.

So I feel to day my blessings are all the obstacles I have overcome and the power God has given me to stay upright and strong.

So cast all your cares on Him, and look ahead with eyes of faith to the time when all the hard times are over and the bigger picture is greater and you can enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Well I cant blog with out any pictures

Here are a few pics of my wonderful niece and nephew

52 weeks of Blessings {week 5}

2010-05-10T08:28:00.000-07:00

Well this week has be wonderful and also a little stressful, but we all survived and will live to see tomorrow!

To explain the stressful week, It all starts here. Well God gives us huge things in our lives and it causes us to go to our knees to make sure it is of Him, not of the flesh.

This week God provided to me a spot to be the photographer representative for the Davids Bridal in Portland and I was thrilled , this could be huge for me in the wedding industry and also as I work so hard to re-establish here in this new area. I will get to meet the new brides,and communicate with all the ones that the store books, they will display my work and they also provide a spot to meet with the bride. So I really feel Gods handy work in my life

I have been blessed also that Lexi my oldest received the Student of the Day award at school for her good behavior and helpfulness at school, I love that she goes the extra mile to help.

the stressful part of my week is that my computer crash hard , and my wonderful brother-in- law had to come fix it again. I had this computer build about two years ago and I just cant seem to get it to stay work'in, so Cody says , We just need to start over and do it right! I should have just let him do it from the beginning, I wouldn't have so many problems

But the blessing is that he got it running again and we are back on a roll , well until next Time

God is an amazing and Powerful God KIM

52 weeks of Blessings {week4}

2010-04-21T21:28:00.001-07:00

Well this week I start out my Blessing with my Oldest Daughter , "Alexia "!!! With her ,my blessings have been far more than I ever deserve . She has been my Rock for 10 years, When we where just "ME AND HER" she was my every breath. Now she is not only that , but a Huge help, and has a very loving heart. Her heart urns to be more like Christ , and she ask sooooo many question and she also speaks her mind about Christ no matter where she is at and who she is with ! Yet she is only 10 and she is just a child, and she had a ton of growing to do , she still is my Blessing all 52 weeks of every year

My other blessing for this week is the very fact that I am a succeeding photographer , this is a very hard industry to get involved in and definitely a hard one to make a job that profits. So I shout Hallellllluuuaa for my Blessings to Photography

Also my husband , How may family's in this whole world can say that both Husband and Wife have the jobs of there dreams ????? Well I am here to tell ya IT HAS HAPPENED!!! My husband and I are living our dream, it might not be with financial wealth , but it is in true contentment that God has given both of us the jobs of or dreams THANK YOU JESUS , is all I can say to that !!!!!!

"Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God , that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him:for he careth for you 1Peter 5:6,7

52 Weeks of Blessings {Week 3}

2010-04-12T10:13:00.000-07:00

This has been a very busy week of traveling and work. With all this traveling I managed to break both of my flashes that where on stands acting as off camera flashes during a shoot , well let me tell ya , THIS WAS HORRIBLE , But this is where my blessings begin!!!! So with tears in my eyes I drove to Dallas Oregon where I have meet some wonderful people at a camera shop call Focal Point Photography , I walk in and lay all my equipment out and the owner and wonderful blessing to me Michael Lowery said OK KIM lets do some trading around and I want you to know , not only did I walk out of this store with the flashes I need , I walked out with the very last lenses I needed to have before my wedding season started. He took what I had and some how made my photography bag grow. Its like the store in the Bible where they only had Five loaves of bread and Two fish to feed the Multitudes. Matthew 14:17-21 I really went in that day expecting to walk out with one flash and still own him more money. Instead he took my stuff and told me what was redundant in lenses and , showed me what all I needed and spent so much of his time with me on more than one occasion. So http://www.focalpointphoto.com/ is my blessing of the week , and I want you to know that are get people to call friends

Here are a few pics I took on the way home from Dallas Oregon of my girls, so if you ever are there in the Dalles Oregon area , stop in and see them , they have a wonderful and very helpful staff

This week has been a very fun filled week of adventures and family. I just love how God works in big and small blessings . So here we go , I am just going to let you have it :) I love blessings,so the first one was the ticket to my sisters wedding were purchased and booked.

I was also blessed with a wonderful brother-in-law named Cody that totally blessed me this week when my computer decided to pit the dust and not even come on!!!!! Yeah that was a TRUE blessing ,he fixed it within a few days and now I am back to work and try to catch up THANK YOU CODY

Another blessing is that we got to spend the Easter break with family.

Also we went to the tulip festival, it was so beautiful, but my children where freezing :)

Japh started his new job and he Loves it.

The other blessing is that we got to spend some time with a couple that goes to church with us and works with Japh, this was a Huge blessing , it is hard to move and make new friends, so I feel blessing to have meet Jimmy and Alyssia, they were wonderful to have over and cant wait to hang out again

The last blessing is just this; Our new found church

It is such a small world , the paster of the new church was married by the same paster that Japh and I where married by {Cyrel Stevens }

The service was amazing this Sunday I want to share a few verses from this service and then I will be done till next week

These verses Prove Blessings :

Eph 1:7 He is so rich in kindness and grace that he PURCHASED our freedom with the blood of his son and forgave our sins

Ps 103:12 And He removed our sins as far from us as the east is from the west

Heb 10:22 "Let us go right into the presence of God with sincere hearts FULLY trusting him.For our guilty conscience have been sprinkled with Christ's blood to make us clean..."

Here are a few pics of the tulup festival, I only have a few because my kids where Not Havin the cold :)

2009-11-22T09:29:00.001-08:00

Hi there, to All my friends and Family! I never really write much on my blog, because I get so busy and I think that is not so fair to all that love and support my very FAST growing buisness.

I just want to take the time right now to say how thankful I am for everyone that has trusted me and loved me throughout the great process in learning Photography, I am also very greatful for all the prayer's and support from everyone! To day and everyday I have to remind myself OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH!!, as I some time forget to trust in God and have a grateful heart. God has given me a wonderful Gift not only photography , But the Gift of Eternal life, friendships,family,health and beautiful childeren and a wonderful husband. So today my thanksgiving is that I am Thank

ful for The everlasting FORGIVENESS that God gives me everyday , Because "OH YE OF LITTLE FAITH " comes a knock'in everyday lately , and in that moment , I have the freedom, to stop and as for forgiveness and HE FORGIVE"S God Bless , and Happy Holidays Kimberly Adams
