Day 27 of My Picture Project

A picture of me and a family member. Here I am with my sister, Wanda. Wanda moved from Lynchburg to Fredericksburg which I don't like! I wish she would come home!!!!!!!

On day 26 I want to show you something that means a great deal to me; that would be my family. Here is a picture that was taken at my daughter's wedding in May 2010. Most of my family is here. There are a few that are missing but most are represented. In addition to my biological family. My church and work families are much loved as well. The Father has truly blessed me.

Day 25 of My Picture Project

Day 25 is a picture of my day. I am an Instructional Technology Resource Teacher. Most of the time I spend my day stuck in front of a computer. At night, I come home to work on school work. Again I am on the computer. When I am relaxing, I am probably on Facebook. Again, the computer. I think I may be part Borg.

Day 24 of My Picture Project

Day 24 is a picture of my favorite book. I could get all spiritual here and say that the Bible is my favorite. And I do like to read the Bible. However, I don't think God would mind me sharing the book I pick up whenever I need to just have a mindless read. That book would be Gone with the Wind. I have read this story a ga-jillion times but I never get tired of it. My mom named me after Scarlett's sister-in-law, Melanie, but I am not that sweet. I am much more of the Scarlett type: quick tempered, selfish, wanting to have things my way and doing anything I need in order to survive. However, like Scarlett, I am hard working, kind, and loyal to those that I love. Scarlett may not have been perfect but she wasn't all bad either.

Day 23 of My Picture Project

The post for Day 23 is about something I wish I could change. I wish I could change the fact that Pops is gone. I miss him terribly! I know that someday I will see him again but for now it still hurts.

Day 22 of My Picture Project

Day 22 has me identifying that thing I wish I were better at. I wish I were more patient but I know what will happen if I pray for this. To me patience and faith go together. It's my nature to worry when things take a while to sort through. I am putting my home on the market to sell soon and I know God is going to be trying to teach me patience through this process. I am sure the Father will have a challenge on His hands with this lesson.

Day 21 of My Picture Project

Day 21 is a picture of something I would like to forget. I have had many bad things happen to me in the course of my life time. I use to spend every waking moment living in regret which turned me into a bitter, angry person. I now refuse to dwell on those bad memories. In fact, believe it or not, those things have made me the person I am today. For example, when I was in high school I got so tired of what was going on at home I began searching for God so that I could give him a piece of my mind for putting me in the middle of such a mess. He didn't reveal Himself to me until my sophomore year of college but instead of the yelling match I thought I would be involved in, He saved me. Later when my sister told me she was leaving the area, I again fell apart. Again God stepped in to show me how much He cared and brought along side of me many friends for support. These are only two examples but there are many more. Every time I think my life is salvageable, God smiles and says, "Let me help." I have no pictures of bad memories to post. Thank you, Father.
