As I was blog stalking today, I cam across Jason Lee's photography blog. He takes the most adorable pictures of his two daughters Kristin and Kayla :) Look! {Click to blow 'em up!}

Kayla, the younger one, just melts my heart {in case you couldn't tell}! She is too precious! But yes, you should most definitely take a look at his pictures.

On a separate note, I've been thinking a lot lately about how all of our lives are different--as is each individual. We don't all have the exact same beliefs. We don't all follow the same path. And one suits one person doesn't always suit everyone else. All of that may come across as cliche, but I've come to notice that there are many people who are unable to accept these facts when someone is in opposition to their personal thoughts. Sure, they can understand the basic concept, but they take offense when something they think or believe isn't reflected in someone else. And what that creates is conflict, whether it is stated or not. The problem is, is that somewhere within that issue lies judgement. It doesn't have to be made blatantly obvious or put on display, but it's there. But we are not called to judge, and we are certainly not called to make assumptions on the behalf of others. I've mentioned before that one of the biggest lessons I've learned in college is to not assume you know where someone comes from. In all honesty, no matter who you are, you have no idea. Just because something suits your lifestyle doesn't mean it will correlate with someone else's. Even though you know what's best for you, it may not benefit those around you. In the end, we are made to love our Father and to love each other. We don't have to see eye-to-eye, and things don't always have to go our way. But we need to strive to show nothing but unending love and compassion for those around us. I mean, how else are we going make Christ's love known here on earth?

"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."
{1 John 4:7}


"¹³ Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. ¹⁴ And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."
{Colossians 3:13-14}

I'm really not sure if that makes sense to anyone else but me; I hope it does. Goodnight precious loves! Sweet dreams :)
