dawning java

{dawning java}

pretty much the morning coffee, first coffee of the day, virtual coffee.

I love what amy @ Lucky No.13 does on Tuesdays.

Virtual coffee, a time where she shares her heart or just what is going on in her life...

as though you are sitting down for coffee with her.

Now me being me, I love the idea but I don't want to steal her great idea,

so I came up with my twist.

So here it goes, installment #1 of "dawning java"

My coffee today was plan, folgers, coffee but since I can't handle plain, black coffee I always reach for creamer. My usual is Almond Joy, but today I opted for "fat free, skinny white chocolate mocha" and a drop or {three} of soy milk....

oh.my.lanta!!! 

That coffee was the BOMB!

Starts off the day right (wells sort of starts off)

[BTW...by the time I had my coffee today, I had already ben up for a couple of hours, been to the gym, started laundry &

started my breakfast of..

.:Baked oatmeal:.

This is the recipe I used, but I didn't have nuts so that didn't get it nor did I have chocolate chips.

Nuts aren't my fav, the only nut I might put in would be almonds. I also added apples, it was pretty tasty!]

Ok enough of getting side tracked...

If we were really having coffee I would probably tell you about my day, since I am writing this at almost 11PM this is what you get.

 I did some cleaning & took some photos.

Finally folded & put away clean laundry.

I have been trying some new things with photography.

on Saturday I took some photos in Flint

( & in my opinion)

I thought they were pretty snazzy!

I use my long lense,

look straight into the sun,

make sure the ISO is at lowest,

& the F/stop is like 1/22

& the shutter speed was 1/4000.

I think shooting the sky in these settings

 make it a tad more interesting.

I would probably tell you of my struggles

& ask what yours are.

What is God doing in your life?

I know God is teaching my about humility

& contentment...

Why is it when someone who struggles with those things,

especially in the area of contentment,

people always say..

"be content"

I want to raise my hand & sweetly say

"Um..excuse, that doesn't really help me.

Be content, how do you be content?"

I would love your thoughts on this.

I know contentment isn't being happy about everything,

sometimes I just really need that encouragment.

Be encouraged dear one,

I am seeking Jesus & His heart for me.
