The Flame Within

I love God, my husband was my high school sweet heart, and still is today. I’m a proud mother of the four most wonderful, sweetest, and cutest kids in the world! In addition, I am a mental health counselor. I love to write! I write from the most honest places within my heart and pray my experiences are able to help and encourage others on their journey through life.

The “Perfect” Picture or “Perfect” Memories?

20130930-154202.jpg

Behind the camera. Intent on capturing the “perfect” picture.

Smile… Kids… Smile… Now!

Look here… Look over there! Turn your head. Act like you love each other.

Snap… Click… Click… Click… Snap!

The kid are determined to NEVER crack a smile.

How much do I miss?

Looking at life through a glass lens.

Intent on capturing the “perfect” picture.

In the process missing out on the “perfect” life.

Mounds of beautiful pictures, are there beautiful memories to match?

Will I spend more time looking through a lens in an attempt to capture the “perfect” picture?

Or will I spend more time looking directly into my world in an attempt to make the most “perfect” memories?

I’m learning to hand over the camera.

And the importance of making life-long memories by jumping into the pictures.
