When I first came to you, dear brothers and sisters, I didn’t use lofty words and impressive wisdom to tell you God’s secret plan. For I decided that while I was with you I would forget everything except Jesus Christ, the one who was crucified. I came to you in weakness—timid and trembling. And my message and my preaching were very plain. Rather than using clever and persuasive speeches, I relied only on the power of the Holy Spirit. I did this so you would trust not in human wisdom but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:1-5
I’m just a wife and mom trying to “get it” and make sense of everything, trudging through life trying to figure out that higher calling. I believe in Christ Almighty and know He’s the only way for my salvation and I thank Him daily for it. I am trying to do better and BE better, to be closer to what He wants me to be: which is just like Him. I’M TIRED OF MEDIOCRITY!
And I happen to be a nanny with a wish and dream for Photography. I have a Nikon D80 that I LOVE! Portrait photography is my passion and I love the dramatic! I’m an overworked nanny taking classes again for a degree I don’t really want, for work I’m not sure is God’s plan for me, making piddly money to hopefully make ends meet or at least come within eyesight of meeting. I’m learning photography that I LOVE, but that is difficult to master, and so in my “spare time” I am learning that and practicing all I can. And on the weekends when I can make room to breathe, I am a Youth Sunday School teacher. And somewhere in the midst of all this chaos is a yearning and a knowing that I am destined for something MORE.
But, I warn you now, not all blogs are going to make sense. My mind races a million miles a minute, and yet doesn’t move at all. So some will just be thoughts on a page to come back to later and evaluate and mull over. This is the mystery of me.

I am very happily married to my partner-in-crime for almost 17 years:
And together, we created our 3 eggs: Egg #1

I am a proud (former) breastfeeder, photographer, Youth Sunday school teacher, pro-life supporter, God-follower, happy church-goer, reality tv junkie, Bible reader, car singer…..
Hi Dana!
Thanks for stopping by my blog…and for commenting
Love your site…I envy anyone who is great with a camera….not my forte….BUT I am a ham in front of one! LOL!
I will drop by again!
Blessings,
Scarlett
You did an awesome job on their pictures!
I was going to email you but can’t find an email address on here. Email me and I wanted to invite you to something here locally. But, I’m not sure if you work during the day or not?!?
Hey- happened on your site thru the I heart faces site. With the word “grace” in your title, thought maybe you were Christian & checked out your blog. I love photography, but am a single missionary in Ukraine. Not sure where you’re from, but I enjoy reading your blog. Sorry about your friend- but your expression of the senselessness of the loss & encouragement for hope was spot-on. May be back to check your blog. – so many blogs, so little time!
God bless.
You’re children are gorgeous and you’re obviously talented –pursue that passion for photography!
Best wishes …
Hi DANA!! Lovely name, I must add..
Found you from Zach Arias’ page and I loved your comment regarding that video he posted this morning with Derrick! What a treat that was. I just wanted to say and introduce myself a little..
My name is Dana, too, and I’m (still at 15 months) a proud breastfeeder, photographer, pro-life supporter, God-follower, happy church-goer, and Bible reader as well! Don’t care for reality TV and definitely no songs ever come from this mouth.. hehe But alot of commonality there, I’d say!
Look me up on FB if you’re on there. Would love to get to know you better! Dana
i think you’re better with your camera than you think! Great job!
