This is still not my Living Beyond Yourself post.
I seriously have been thinking a great deal about the Living Beyond Yourself study. I have a lot of thoughts rattling around, and if I sat down and put them together, I think they'd make a pretty decent post about the fruit of the Spirit and what that means to believers, what it meant to me when I was first a believer (it was a husband-seeking checklist. I'm serious! and look how well that worked out for me!), and overall what it means to be a believer in the first place, in order to have the Spirit and hence have the fruit. But there are so many other things that want or need my attention -- my children, as I am in single-mom mode for a few days; this new photography project I'm doing; the actual homework for the LBY study; the laundry oh my gosh the laundry. So. As I do all these other things, I think. I stew, and I meditate, and I pray. And that might just be all the post you get for last week's LBY study. Or it might not be. I am not sure. We'll see what happens after the laundry-folding marathon.
The photography project I mentioned consists of a month-long 'challenge' sort of thing, just for myself (well, several of us from dpchallenge are doing it, but it's outside the site; it's not a contest, just a learning experience) wherein I post one new self-portrait per day for a month to this new photoblog. You read that right, self-portrait. Be afraid. Be very afraid. (I know I am.)
And with that I'm out of parentheses so I'm going to go watch the BBC P&P and fold clothes until I can't stay awake any longer.

You are adorable.
My smile and lips are crooked, too. It's called CHARACTER, right? ;)

Hey, at least you don't have snaggle teeth like me! Where's today's self-portrait?

Self portraits will most likely go up each day in the evening. As opposed to the regular photo blog where I have a queue of images and I set them to post around midnight.
The crooked glasses and the cowlick bother me but now I wish I could go back and fix my darn hair. The one side looks stringy and the other looks messy. Oh well. It looks like ME, that's for sure. :-P

Hi Rachel! I love your photography - and your sense of humor! And I look forward to getting to know you as we work our way together through LBY. Your self-portrait is delightful! I have that same crooked smile!

Ooooh... I gave up on the laundry pile this week. It was hard to carve time out for the LBY study here, too. Something I had to finally ask God to provide.
I look forward to hearing more from you! ;)

Loved the self-portrait photos. You are quite talented. I am a "serious amateur photographer." Basically I love to take photos, scrapbook or use them as subjects in my artwork. I am a printmaker (intaglio/etching and monotypes). I just got a digital SLR (baby one, Nikon D50), and I love it!
