corina danae: fun self portraits~& an aWeSoMe old building

This beautiful old building is believed to have been a slave cabin. It's right behind some of our friends' house so when we went to visit them this week I just had to take a few pictures!!

So I set my camera on a chair and set the timer!!lol

These aren't the best, but I laugh just looking at them...remembering hitting the button than running a few yards to the place I needed to be before it took the picture!!

NOTE::these pictures are cropped...(my camera doesn't have THAT good aim. smile)

If you ever want to try something different or new, grab your camera and set it somewhere, set the self-timer and try out some new poses!! lol. I'm telling you, it REALLY is fun(even though people give you funny looks)!!

"Costume change"!!

Yup..I love to snoop in old buildings.haha

If you can't tell by now...I absolutly LOVE sunflare!! Every chance I have, I take pictures with it!!

I'm not sure how many of you listen to my blog playlist(at the bottom of the page), but on there is a wonderful song I found by Laura Story called "Grace". The lyrics are so amazing~

My heart is so proud. My mind is so unfocused.
I see the things You do through me as great things I have done. And now You gently break me, then lovingly You take me and hold me as my father and mold me as my maker.

I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abound?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

At times I may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged, knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job.
For who am I to serve You? I know I don't deserve You. And that's the part that burns in my heart and keeps me hanging on.

I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

You are so patient with me, Lord.
As I walk with You, I'm learning what Your grace really means. The price that I could never pay was paid at Calvary. So, instead of trying to repay You, I'm learning to simply obey You
by giving up my life to you For all that You've given to me.

I ask you: "How many times will you pick me up, when I keep on letting you down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory, how far will forgiveness abounds?"
And you answer: " My child, I love you.
And as long as you're seeking My face, You'll walk in the pow'r of My daily sufficient grace."

Jesus is the one that gives us the grace to be able to continue each day. Even though "at times [we] may grow weak and feel a bit discouraged, knowing that someone, somewhere could do a better job", He loves us for who we are....no matter how many times we "fall short of [His] glory", He still says "I love you" and gives us the grace to continue as long as we seek His face.

We can never pay what was paid at calvary. All we can do is to "simply obey" Him and give up our lives to Him for all He's given to us.
