Anyone for a peanut?

Life is a puzzle sometimes...
You don't always get what you expect or thought you wanted... 

Like a peanut.

If you didn't know what was in that shell would you have know just by looking at it that it would hold two small yummy peanuts??

I pray daily for God's grace in my life, that He may give me the wisdom to discern from what is right and what is wrong.. But sometimes I find that I feel so lost... Or broken like the soft shells of these peanuts...

Good picture right?

Seeing My Life in Pictures

My blog is named after how I live my every day, how I saw life in pictures before I even went to college and studied photography.

Since I was a little girl I wanted to do something in the art line.
I went from wanting to be an artist, a painter, an illustrator, an author, a photographer, a graphic designer and then back to a photographer.
In matric (grade 12) my family and I decided I was to apply at a college called Vega (for those of you who are interested follow the link to check it out: http://www.vegaschool.com/).
I went in to apply for graphic design and wrote the entrance exam as well. Afterwards we came across the photography lecturer and got chatting to her, she said I should come in another day and bring my photographs too. Long story cut short I got accepted for graphic design as well as photography. This was a hard decision as I still wasn't 100% sure about what I really wanted to do.
With a lot of prayer I decided I was to study photography.

Believe me, that was THE BEST DECISION EVER!!!

I loved it.

And graphic design seemed way harder too... (yes theres my laziness fully admitting the truth). I won't lie, photography was hard and a lot of work, but when you have a passion for something you want to do your best.

I have now finished my two years of studying photography and now attempting to run my own photography business.
By the grace of God it will be a success.
He's already blessed me with the ability of seeing life in pictures and I will not stop capturing them.
This is my way of glorifying His name.

Summer Memories

I decided it was high time I started up a blog, so today with my extreme lack of technology knowledge handed with my stubbornness I took the plunge into the scary world of blogging!

Today I was really missing summer, so I decided to upload an old photograph of pretty little flowers that reminded me of summer.

Hope you will enjoy my attempt at this thing called blogging!!
