Pictures That Describe Me.

Last week for my photography assignment I had to take a "self portrait" of me, without taking a picture of "me" so here are the 5 images that I submitted for my class that describe me! tell me what you think!

 

actually 6 pictures! I didnt turn in the one of my boots, but I wanted to stick it on here anyway!

do you think they portray me, and who I am, and what I love?

or maybe if you dont know me, but your stopping by my blog! you know a little bit more about me now!

Harvest

There are so many things that come to my mind when I think of harvest. I picture eating supper on a tailgait, climbing into some good quality John Deere equpiment spending hours with my dad. collecting tickets at the grain elavator (along with hot coco, and suckers) roling the tarps on and off of the grain trucks each time we made a trip to the elavator. those are just a few of the reasons why harvest is my favorite time of year! I love every bit of it!

obviously we are smack dab in the middle of my favorite season! combines are driving back and forth across feilds all day long. trucks and semi's make trips to and from the grain bins, the grain cart keeps the combine empty, and the other trucks scootin along! I tell ya, farmers dont dink around when the crops are ready... now im confronted with the question.... why do we??? are we not called by Jesus Christ to be farmers? we are told that the fields are ready to be harvested, why is that not taken seirously? once the beans, and corn are ready; farmers dont just sit around and wait another 3 months before they finally decide to go start doing something about it! we need to be ready to gather in the crop as soon as its ready. crops dont stay ripe forever. theres a window of oppertunity that opens..... then closes.

are we taking seirously the fact that people need the Lord? the crops are ready to be brought in, but nobody wants to do the work. we need to stand up and be the labourers that God needs!

Luke 10:2 Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest.

John 4:35 Say not ye, There are yet four months, and then cometh harvest? behold, I say unto you, Lift up your eyes, and look on the fields; for they are white already to harvest.

Revelation 14:15 And another angel came out of the temple, crying with a loud voice to him that sat on the cloud, Thrust in thy sickle, and reap: for the time is come for thee to reap; for the harvest of the earth is ripe.

Psalms 126:5-6 They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

Ga 6:7-9 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting.
And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.

(btw I did take the combine pictures one evening! it was a TON of fun! perfect sky, and a perfect subject!)

ridiculous, random, and.... radical? IDK

ok so failed attempt at a great title with bunches of words starting with "R" :/ I dont really have my dads gift for coming up with big intellegent sounding words all starting with the same letter! but no matter, just because I cant ever think of intellegent words doesnt mean that im not intellegent right??? ...okey moving on!

Well I could not come up anything "INCREDIBLE" to post. so this might be a little weird... oh well.

welcome to the random life of KODA

  Gideon (our new horse) is absoutly wonderful! Brandon is doing a fantastic job training him. with in 5 days of having him I jumped on and rode him. He is doing very well with ground work accepting the saddle, and tarps, and he absoutly adores people!

  The Lord has shown me, that his protection is never ending! when something "should have" been so fatal God is so good! I cant even express my thankfullness for Gods protecting hand!

  I have also been dwelling on the verse "We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair, persecuted but not forsaken, cast down, but not destroyed" (2 Corinthians 4:8-9) my thoughts are constantly returning to those comforting words! how thankful I am that the Lord put them in the bible for me! and I am incredibly thankful for the Hope that we have in Jesus Christ!
