Thinking Thursdays - Lynchburg Virginia Wedding Photographer

Yay it's Thursday :) Ok well that may be good or bad, if it felt like Thursday yesterday for you and you still have one more day of work it isn't that great but it is the day before Friday so that has to stand for something, right? What is Thinking Thursdays? Honestly I wanted to use Thursdays I'm in Love but I realized that Friday already took that. So Thinking Thursdays is really just a place to get to know us better. Get a glimpse into our life and what we value and love and hate. If you want tips on photography you should check out Tuesday Tips Tricks and Techniques occurring, you guessed it, Tuesdays.

For what would be categorized under Potpourri on Jeopardy you should be, well, right here. Welcome :)

Thursdays are a day for me (Josh) to reflect on what has happened during the week and to prepare for the weekend. If it is a wedding weekend, I am busy preparing all the gear for the long day ahead. It is also a great day to reflect on what last weeks message at Blue Ridge Community Church, known as BRCC from hear on out, was on. It really is amazing how quickly we can forget things that happened only just a few days ago. Even a really powerful service can be quickly forgotten if we do not intentionally think back on it. 

What can you expect on Thinking Thursdays? I really have no idea :) Ok, that is not entirely true but what I mean is that this will be a place to talk about what is going on in our lives. This could be with us, our kids, the dog, the cat, soccer, the business, church, God, money etc... Really just whatever it is I feel would be best for sharing. 

For today I will share just a snippet of our past week. Church was especially powerful for us this past Sunday, actually this has been an ongoing theme. I think that has to do with Katie and I intentionally making an effort to have a more real and intimate relationship with God as we grow closer to each other. We both value marriage deeply and while I (Josh) went through a divorce five tears ago and this is the first for Katie, we are making a lifetime commitment to each other before God and are very serious about it. Back to church, the series we are currently in is on Discipleship and last weeks message was on prayer. Very powerful and a bit funny as there was a mishap with someones alarm on there phone that got the entire rooms attention. Sadly you really had to be there but it was very funny. 

After Church we all spent the day together, Josh, Katie, Nathaniel, and Leilana. Oh yeah, if you don't know us Nathaniel and Leilana are Josh's kids who are with me (Josh) Sunday-Friday, so you will likely hear a lot about them. We all went over to Katie's house where we carved pumpkins, lit some fireworks, played the guitar, played rock band, watch funny videos and just spent some good quality time together. 

Friday night we watched Katie's brother perform with the marching band. The show is really coming along and it was really nice being able to watch him even with the dreary weather. After band we went to Scaremare, it really is scary. Well seeing the length of the line is really scary, the rest not so much. But we had some good time talking and people watching which was fun. Nathaniel didn't go this year but hopefully next time. 

Who knows what will happen for next weeks Thinking Thursdays. What exciting things happened with you?
