One of the words I have chosen for this year is Less. Since I tend to have a problem with Less, I have chosen more than one word. I will share my other word at another time.

Through the Daniel Fast and time of Awakening, I’ve tried to allow God to speak to me about the areas where there needs to be less. Clutter is noise in my home and in my heart. I need to be able to hear the still quiet voice of the Lord. I don’t want Him to have to get my attention to speak to me.

I don’t recognize the person I was five years ago, and I hope I won’t recognize the person I am now in five years. My desire is to be ever changing and growing to be more like Christ and less of Jennifer.

One of Bryan’s Christmas presents was a photo shoot of the boys. We usually do a family shoot once a year, but with multiple surgeries we haven’t done one as a family. We have pictures of the boys at events and holidays, but none like these.

A dear friend, Millie, who is an amazing photographer had day where she took photos of multiple families using a set. It was breathtaking to watch her work. This is just one shot of many. The header for my blog is one she took that day too. I love how she captured my boys.

My boys are so big!
