So this week it's things around the house and me and my little sister have been making some seriously cute baby hats! :)

Cute, right?

Skinks & Patience

2011-05-04T13:26:00.001-04:00

Okay, so your probably thinking how in the heck do Skinks and patience go together? well your gonna find out.

I was playing with the camera outside to have a little fun. I was walking on the sidewalk to go to the roses and I saw this:

At first, I thought it was a snake but I saw the blue so I sat down waiting patiently we ALL know that I lack in that category, but I was determined to get a picture of that WHOLE skink because I was fascinated by its tail!

As I was sitting there it came out a little more:

Then MORE:

Then some more (At this point I was so excited I almost peed my pants!):

Then It was ALMOST all the way out:

And finally it came out I almost screamed and then I remembered that I would scare it so I didn't.

Here it is (I think it's magnificent):

I learnt being patient pays off sometimes (:

Mission Trip: Dominican Republic

2011-02-04T21:26:00.000-05:00

God has presented me with the opportunity to go on a mission trip in a few short weeks. April 2nd I will be boarding a bus to Miami, FL, from there we will be getting on a plane and be on our way to the Dominican Republic.
We will be building 2 or 3 churches and hosting a VBS (Vacation Bible School) for the young children. This is going to take a lot of strength and courage. It will be everyone getting along and coming along side each other to let this happen. To put our differences aside and to trust God with what He is going to show us.
As you can imagine this is something that needs a lot of financial support and prayer support. Without prayer little to noting could happen. God's hands are all in this and I can feel Him moving. During the week we will be helping people materially and spiritually. On April 9th we will be on our way back from hopefully making an impact on the people's life's.

(Please look for a blog post on my trip when I return)

Thank you,
Lindsey Worley

All Things New

2011-01-04T12:14:00.001-05:00

Like the sun Your mercy shines
A brand new day a brighter life
Jesus, Your grace restores our life
At the cross the a great exchange
Your righteousness for all our shame
Jesus, Your grace restores our lives

You can make all things new
only Your power can raise us
You can make all things new
only Your love can save us

All hope is not lost
cause You make all things new

All our words and broken dreams
We lay them down at Calvary
Savior Your grace restores our lives
When we're weak you make us strong
You lift us up You lead us on
Savior Your grace restores our lives

You can make all things new
Only Your power can raise us
You can make all things new
Only Your love can save us
All hope is not lost
cause You make all things new

You give beauty for our ashes
in a hope that everlasting
The past has been redeemed
Now forever we will sing

You give beauty for our ashes
in a hope that's everlasting
The past has been redeemed
Now forever we will sing

You can make all things new
Only Your power can raise us
You can make all things new
Only Your love can save us

All hope is not lost
all hope is not lost
all hope is not lost
Cause you make all things new

God, this is my new years resolution to make all things new for You. To fall completely in love with You, and not let my past drag me down like it has been here lately. God, you can make all things new, and i think it's time to finally let go, forgive and forget. I can't do it alone so, I'm asking You to be with me. My journey through this life hasn't been that fantastic. Until, You put me in my family and I can't thank You enough for the joy You've put in my life these past 2 years.

I hold on to the past too much, and I know that it's just so hard to let go. My past HAS been redeemed and forever I AM free. Sometimes I feel like I'm on the right track and then I get off of it, and it's so hard to get back on. I've been off and I haven't got back on, I know I need and I'm trying so hard.

God, I lay everything down at Your cross, You can take all my problems and lift the burden off my shoulders. There are so many Godly people in my life that I know I can talk to, but it's so hard to get it out. I need to learn to open my heart.

I'm letting you make all things new, and I'm not holding back, It's time to be on fire.

Be still

2010-10-22T14:50:00.000-04:00

I decided to do something new. It's not a lot of writing but I think it speaks for itself. Enjoy!

Happy Father's Day!

2010-06-20T19:02:00.000-04:00

My Dad means so much to me. I am so glad God chose him to be my Dad. He will always have a special place in my heart as my protector, my hero, but most of all My Dad! Thank you so much for letting me know that I can talk to you anytime I need to and for having a shoulder I know I can cry on! Happy Fathers Day Daddy! I love you!

Take my Life

2010-04-25T16:48:00.003-04:00

Sometimes the songs we sing in church touch my heart not just by the words but the way they are sang and the passion the singer has. Today John McCullough sang it and he's awesome (My ALL time favorite singer!) and that just made it so much better. A song that was sang this morning touched my heart and it reminded me that, if I seek God first He'll talk to me and get me through the things that are bothering me. There has been some stuff bothering me some lately and I think God had that song picked out just for me. I've learned that i need to be still and KNOW not think that He is God and He has my life and I'm still learning how to let him take control, and buddy has the devil been after me! God has showed me so much in my life and I'm so excited to learn more.

The song is called Living for Your Glory and it goes like this:

What good is it to gain the whole world, but lose your soul?
What good is it to make a sweet sound, but remain proud?
In view of God’s mercy, I offer my all
And take my life, let it be everything, all of me
Here I am, use me for Your glory
In everything I say and do, let my life honor You
Here I am living for Your glory
The road I’m on that leads nowhere without You
And the life I live that finds meaning and surrender
In view of God’s mercy, I offer my all

I pray that I learn to listen to God better everyday!

Flowers Everywhere!

2010-04-23T12:10:00.000-04:00

My mom is a fanatic when it comes to flowers, (I think she has an obsession). If weeds are in the garden which, we have like 836459834965 billion STILL! It's driving her insane. we have quite a collection of flowers, and I love everyone of them.

My absolute favorites are the Columbines:

Then there are the Irises:

We are not really sure what these are called, so we just call them ground cover:

The roses are SO beautiful:

Camellia's and oodles of Azalea's:

There are these pretty white flowers were not sure about too!

there are so many more flowers, and God created them to be beautiful just the way they are! :)

I hope you enjoyed our garden!

New Hair :)

2010-04-04T12:52:00.000-04:00

I got a haircut and this time I think I'm going to keep it like this, :)

He's with me.

2010-03-14T19:53:00.002-04:00

God has done so much for me these past few months, and I'm so grateful that he has chosen me and my testimony to reach more people than I could ever imagine. I never thought that what I've went through these past years that something good was going to come out of it, but as most of you see it has.

I've learned over the past couple of years that many trials are blessings in disguise, and I've found that it's more than true. I've went from foster home to foster home, school to school, where I've finally just gave up. God was still there when I doubted him. God was still there when I cursed him and told him He didn't care about me that if He did none of this would be happening to me, but not once did he leave me, and I knew He didn't. I always knew He was there. He showed it in the littlest ways and if I wasn't paying attention I missed it. No matter what God was there for me. Even at my worst He was still there, and still is! I know he's with you too. He's NOT finished with me yet. God I'm here, and I'm ready to listen! Show me what YOU want me to do. I love you.

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love Him, who have been called according to His purpose.

-Romans 8:28

Serving Others

2010-02-25T12:27:00.000-05:00

I've always wanted to serve God and others but, you have to admit it is hard. We are so in love with ourselves that we don't take the time to do what is right and serve others. I've learnt that we have to get over ourselves in order to do what's right. God loves us, that's a fact and He wants us to do what's right. So, I think that we all need to take the time every morning and pray to God that we can get over ourselves and do what He want's us to do for him. I pray every morning, do you?

Tango!

2010-02-22T13:41:00.001-05:00

Tango is a dance that has influences from Spanish and African culture. The Tango consists of a variety of styles that developed in different regions and eras of Argentina as well as in other locations around the world. The dance developed in response to many cultural elements, such as the crowding of the venue and even the fashions in clothing.
The styles are mostly danced in either open embrace, where lead and follow have space between their bodies, or close embrace, where the lead and follow connect either chest-to-chest (Argentine tango) or in the upper thigh, hip area (American and International tango). Argentine, Uruguayan and Ballroom Tango use very different techniques. In Argentine tango, the body's center moves first, then the feet reach to support it. In ballroom tango, the body is initially set in motion across the floor through the flexing of the lower joints hip, knee, and ankle while the feet are delayed, then the feet move quickly to catch the body, resulting in snatching or striking action that reflects the staccato nature of this style's preferred music.

Tumbling!

2010-02-11T14:39:00.000-05:00

I started tumbling about a month ago and i L-O-V-E it. Its a lot of work but it pays off and its so fun and physical you can always learn something new. My little sister watched me last week and now she says she wants to do it, it can be dangerous but after you get a hang of everything you know what to do like i said I L-O-V-E it!

Brock Meadows 3/3/05 to 1/31/08.

2010-01-31T13:57:00.002-05:00

The Meadow's Family has touched me in so many ways I don't think I could ever understand why God brought me to the city of Marietta, but the more i think about the more I'm starting to understand that it's for reasons I never would believe. When I met the Meadow's I knew that there was something special about them, and though they suffered a loss many people would simply turn their back on God and ask why, why did you do this to my family. The Meadow's didn't turn away from God in fact I'm pretty sure they got closer to God.

As I think about the Meadows and the loss they have had. I always thought that I've lost stuff and people didn't care about me or that God didn't even care about me but, I will admit that I was VERY wrong . The Meadow's have touched my life , and have showed me that through all our loses and trials that God is still there and he always will me and that he cares about me. It's okay to grieve everyone does grieves in there own way. The Meadow's are very special people to me and I love them dearly. I have learnt so much from the time I've known them and I'm grateful for every second of the time I've known them. Even though I never had the chance to meet Brock Meadows, but from all the wonderful stories I've heard about him I feel like I have known him at least a little. He's going to be with his family again , Brock knows that and the rest of the Meadow's do too. He's probably smiling down on his parents and siblings right now, that sure wouldn't surprise me.

During all their grief the Meadow's found out the we're expecting to have a baby, but with all the joy in having a new born a round they new it would bring grief, just because Brock was only 2 when he passed, so they still had memory's of him as a new born. Brock's story has touched so many people's life, including mine.

The Meadow's had a precious baby girl Named Lila Jane, she's the cutest I've ever seen! (Truth is I didn't know Meadow's came in girl considering, Nita has had 4 boys.) I love it every time I see Lila's big bothers with her I get goose bumps they love that baby girl with all their heart, just as the loved Brock when he came home from the hospitals. (You can see the Precious Gift from go here http://nitameadows.blogspot.com/2009/11/welcome-lila-jane.html)

The Meadow's have been truly blessed even with all the grief you can read all of The Meadow's story of grief, joy, and forgiveness story here: nitameadows.blogspot.com

With all the love I have I truly thank the Meadow's for all the thing's they've done and all the lives they have touched. I love you all so much!

Focus lock can be used to kinda blur something that you don't want focus on. Making it easier to focus on one subject that will be in the focus area. In the final composition focus lock can be used with any focus area.

Day 3 (White Balance)

2009-10-12T20:54:00.006-04:00

White balance ensures that colors are unaffected by the color of the light source. Auto white balance is recommended for most light sources; if other values can be selected according to the type of source. the following options are available P, S, and M, modes, auto, incandescent, fluorescent, direct sunlight, flash cloudy, shade, and white balance preset.

Day 2

2009-10-11T20:07:00.005-04:00

Getting good results using auto focus.

Auto focus does not always work, like, if there is little or no contrast between the subject and the background, the subject is dominated by regular geometric patterns, the subject appears smaller than the focus manual, the focus area contains objects at different distances from the camera, the focus area contains areas of sharply contrasting brightness like if the subject is half in the shade, and if the subject contains many fine details. those are some of the things auto focus won't work on.

Life of Lindsey

2009-09-12T18:30:00.004-04:00

Well, hello there! it's been a while i know I'm just catching up on my family time since my parents have been in AFRICA i know crazy right? A lot of people have asked me what i did while there gone and I'm tired of saying it over and over so I'm just going to put in on here! (:

Well for one i tried out for cheerleading made and then 3 of the girls dropped out and there were not enough girls to have a squad i was upset but maybe it wasn't the right time. I stayed with Ken's mom in the comfort of my own house and i was so so glad we had a lot of fun we got our nails done and our hair cut and all the other stuff girls do that I'm normally against but we had a blast and I feel blessed to have not only one but TWO Grandmothers that love me and I'm very thankful for that!! I feel like God has blessed me so very much, I think God for the family i have every day. I can't wait to see what other wonderful things God has in store for ME I know they'll all be great!!

With Much Love,

Lindsey

Questions?

2009-08-23T17:49:00.001-04:00

Do you ever sit around and wonder whats going to happen next? I know I do. Sometimes I'm just like God whats going to happen next? Does it show by the way I act that I'm a child of God? God showed me to just go with it and that if he wanted it to happen then it would.
When I was in Sunday School this morning we were talking about test and one of the questions was, Would you want God to test you, why or why not? What are some of the questions you would want to be asked? Here are some of the questions i thought of,

1. Does the way i dress reflect God?
2. Am I living my WHOLE life for Jesus Christ?
3. Am i walking for God
4. What plans does God have for me?
5. Do i witness enough?

I know I want have the answers to these questions until I'm face to face with My God!

Have you ever had doubts that God wasn't really there? If you have, then don't doubt God, he is there even in the smallest things, and if you believe in him he will show you that he is there with you for everything! There were times when i had doubts and i now regret it I know that God is my Lord and Savior and he is with me where ever i go i have no reason to doubt him now I KNOW for a fact that he is there!!

I know that times can get rough believe me i have had my ups and downs but that does NOT stop me from loving God as much as I do!

I want you all to know that you can be as close to God as I am am all you have to do is pray and ask God to forgive you for all your sins and that you believe that he gave his life for you and your sins and live your life for him! its that simple!

God's Many Blessings

2009-08-19T13:00:00.003-04:00

Do you ever take the time to sit around and thank God for everything he has done? We all need God whether you want to admit it or not God has been there in ways you would never expect he is there in the smallest things and your always on his mind and, we need to take the time to thank him for all the wonderful things he has done.

When I was first put into foster Care i was not going to church and I was not as close to God as i should of been and there were times when i I had it in my head that there was no God that if there was i wouldn't be going through everything I'm going through but, I realized that many trials are blessings in disguise, for example I would not be where I am today if it wasn't for all the hard times I've been through just look were I am now I'm extremely happy were I am most of you know that i am in the process of adoption and it is going fast and smooth and I love, love, love it and i would not change it for anything. God has blessed me in SO many ways! I'm just a small part of God's much BIGGER plan, I look forward to seeing what all God has in store for me and for the rest of you. God just amazes me more ad more each day and I love that one day I'm going to be with him and live forever with no more tear to ever be shed!!

Many people take there kids for granted just take time and hug your kids many people would love to have kids but just can't just know that God gave you your kids for a reason love them with all you got and let nothing come between y'all,

Children are God's best gift.

Psalm 127:3

With All My Blessings,

Lindsey
