Surrender
Surrender. It seems that every time I work on projects with a theme, the Lord has lessons concerning that theme to teach me. As I have been working on editing and putting “Surrender” into book form, the Lord has been working in my heart regarding surrender—whether it was hopes and dreams for this project, daily choices, or my ideas and will.
We tend to think of surrender regarding life-changing issues, big things. But most often, surrender is an ongoing process involving small sacrifices....

The Reluctant Duchess | Book Review
About the Book
Lady Rowena Kinnaird may be the heiress to a Highland earldom, but she has never felt good enough—not for her father, not for the man she thought she’d marry, not for God. But after a shocking attack, she’s willing to be forever an outcast if it means escaping Loch Morar and the men who have jeopardized her life.
Brice Myerston, the Duke of Nottingham, has suddenly found himself in possession of a rare treasure his enemies are prepared to kill for. While Brice has never been one...

A Scripture Design in 21 Steps
It is always interesting to take screenshots of the process of my graphics design, because I never know exactly what will come out of it--and if it will even be something I like. The design I shared Tuesday, was one I had time to throw together, and here's how I did it.
Step 1: Started with a blank 5x5 file
Step 2: Pasted the verse on it
Step 3: Separated the words into different layers
And changed the font to Trajanus.
Step 4: Aligned the layers centered
Because, at this point, I was thinking abou...

Be Still, My Soul | Music Video
In light of the hymn ("Be Still, My Soul"), I looked up Psalm 46:10, "Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth."Sometimes, we just need to be still--be still and know the truths about Who God is.
He is still on the throne--no circumstances here on earth will change that.
He is still in control--no changes in government down here will change that.
He is still God.
He is still King.
He is still unchanging.Are we allowing the worries...

Tips for Small Cameras
Usually, I post tips for cameras like the one I use (a Canon Digital Rebel T3i -- a DSLR). However, as Ashley commented a few photography posts back, not everyone has these "fancy cameras." What then?
The closest thing I have to a simple "point-and-shoot" (or "cheap") camera is my iPhone 4s (8 megapixels--compared to my T3i's 17.9 megapixels). While I'm not about to go do a professional photoshoot with my iPhone, I do use it on the go, and here are a few things that I have learned.
