Here recently, I've found some cool settings and features on our camera! (Funny how we've had this camera for going on 3 years now, and it's only been in the last 2 days that I've found out there is more than just a normal setting! :D) I decided to try them out and take a few pictures and hope that you enjoy them!

Since I have posted mainly pictures of my Bible I thought I'd share with you how I got my Bible!
Well, I got it last year in July. I had been wanting a new Bible because my old one, I had been using for about 3 years. I often found myself going to my parents study Bibles to look up special meanings on a verse I was using in an article or if I just wanted to see the study notes on a memory verse. I decided that I wanted one like it since I kept using theirs of often. :) I started looking around and found a bubble gum pink/chocolate brown one that I really liked. It was exactly like my parents Bible's (made by the same company, looked the same on the inside, etc.) so I thought that "this was the one". But there was one problem...I didn't have but about $5 in savings. :) The Bible was around $50! So I started saving, and slowly but surely I had almost half the amount needed! Ashley and I had been working in a MOPS (Mothers Of Preschoolers) nursery with the little ones voluntarily. At the end of the semester they surprised us volunteers with a $40 gift card (each!) to Wal-Mart! Since we buy our gas from Wal-Mart and when you use a gift card you get a discount I was able to give my Dad the gift card and in return Daddy gave me $40 cash. (We both got a deal that day! :D) When I added this to the money I had been saving for the past 4 months it was almost enough! So finally I went with my Gram to the Scroll Christian bookstore and to my surprise they had the exact Bible I wanted...on sale for $45.00! Not only did I have enough to get the Bible, but I was also able to have my name printed on it! (A long time dream of mine! :D) Isn't it great how the Lord works?!
And then, once I got it home Ashley really liked it, and she happened to have enough money to get one while they were still on sale, so she got one as well! It's so fun to have matching Bibles! :)
Well I hope that you enjoyed the story, maybe you can share your story on how you got your Bible! I'd love to hear it!
Blessings,
Bethany
