We bought London as a six week old puppy in Lubbock. She was gorgeous, playful and potty trained within a few days. She was the light of my life there for a while. If you have followed my blog for a while then you remember when she almost died and she was diagnosed with Addison's Disease. She went into a crisis two days ago and we were force feeding her the medicine that she needed, but she wasn't getting any better. Last night we had decided to put her down today to put her out of her misery and when Josh went in to let them out she had already died. Poor baby. We love our dogs so much. The sad thing is, Josh let her outside last night while I was at home group and she got up real excited and then went and laid down under a wet tree outside, just like on Marley and Me. It is a sad day around here. This is my first dog to loose as an adult and I am selfishly thankful that she died in the night with Meridian next to her instead of me having to take her life for her at the vet this morning. The more you love, the harder the loss. London was my favorite.
The Lord has really been teaching me a lot about His character, His personality and His heart through the actions and emotions that Jesus displayed. It got me to thinking about ourselves. Mankind is the only creation formed by the hand of God, the other creatures were just commanded to come forth out of the ocean or out of the dirt through the Word of God. We are created in His image, kind of like a man would create an "idol" out of the image of a cat, cow, eagle, etc... It looks the same, but it is smaller. God created man is His image, no wonder He commanded us not to defame this wonderful act and create a graven image after the likeness of anything He created and bow down to it. This was a sacred thing, and nothing else deserved replication other than Himself! I do believe that Adam, when clothed in the glory of God looked much different than humans do now. How else would you "know" that you were naked? What if you were clothed in beaming light and everything about you reflected the beaming, beautiful, colorful glory of GOD and then all of the sudden you were the most plain jane looking creature on earth?
Looking through my Pinterest folder of God's creatures it really draws my attention to our plainness in the flesh. Man is the glory of God, woman is the glory of man. Have you ever looked at a Cardinal and wondered why the male bird was always colorful and beautiful and the female was dull and almost colorless? I think that it is because Man is the glory of God and woman was created in the similitude of MAN! Kind of like the sun vs. the moon. One is brilliant and no one can look into it's light, and the other is dull and only a reflection of the greater light. Anyway, look through this folder again... gaze upon the beauty, the array of COLOR! I always think about Heaven as being a place of white light, nothing else. I have always thought that we will all be caucasian, sitting on cotton clouds, floating in fog, singing like Angels with golden locks and creamy complexions while they are robed in white, boring tunics. When I re-read the descriptions of the Glory of God, that is the farthest thing from the truth! He is CIRCLED BY A RAINBOW! Imagine a subtle rainbow, now imagine a crystal and how when the light shines through it it creates a rainbow against the wall depending on where it refracts the light... now think about the glory of God CIRCLED by this rainbow... can you imagine the entire throne room of God is BURSTING with color? Every color! Now think of the New Jerusalem, it has twelve foundations and they are each a different crystal. I looked all of these up one day and they are ALL different colors. Now when you put the Lamb of God, who will be the LIGHT day and night INSIDE the City, can you imagine that the whole new heaven and new earth will be lit up by BRILLIANT COLOR??
I love in Matthew 6 how Jesus compares us to the lilies of the field, how they are so beautiful (they are colorful and very detailed) and how God will clothe us because we are more important than they? Or the birds of the air (I tend to think of blackbirds, boring, until I saw some of these incredible birds of paradise) and how we are more important then them! God cares about us more! I love how He showed two different stunning and unique creations.
If you stood me next to Josh and I didn't have any makeup on, you would definitely see that Josh is the more attractive human. I think that this happens in most cases with men and women. Without the makeup, hairstyles, shaved legs, fancy clothes, tans, etc... women are just like the female birds. Women try so hard to outshine the men and use their beauty to bring the men under their authority. Think about it, lust is the only way that women can harness a man. Think about Samson and Delilah. This is why we need to be cautious to not try and seduce men by our appearance and our bodies, because it is wrong!! I am so guilty of this, but remember it is a heart issue. I used to put on outfit after outfit just trying to find the one that would make my body look the "hottest". This was sin. Yet, if you wear something that isn't immodest and a man still lusts after you, then it is not your fault, but theirs. God knows the thoughts and intents of the heart, and so do you! YOU are the only one who can know what your heart is thinking while doing something, so pay attention to your heart and deny it any action that is not rooted in love and godliness.
Ok, I'm off track, so anyway... I think that when we are clothed with our "new" bodies after the resurrection that we will be the most incredible looking creation ever! We are so dull, bodies made from dirt, eyes the color of the ocean, hair that comes only in about 4 shades. Think about things like jaguars, elephants, birds of paradise, fish of the sea... all of these things have incredible detail, color, pattern, etc... Do you not think that man will be the most magnificent looking creation of all when clothed with the GLORY OF GOD? I think so!
Ok, way, way off task. I wanted to talk about the things that are built into us since we are the image of God. God has a personality. He can be provoked the jealousy, He can be angry, He can be merciful, He is full of love, He is JUST and righteous. Ok, now remember, we are created in HIS Image. If this is true, then all of our emotions are also like His.
It is when we have these emotions, but don't act with them in righteousness that it is hypocrisy.
Think about it. When you had a boyfriend or girlfriend when you were little and they started flirting with another person, what arose in you? Severe jealousy. Have you ever thought that God allowed us to continue in His emotions so that we could understand Him and His ways more? God is also a jealous God and we feel the same thing that He does towards His people who go after their own glory, or glory of other gods BECAUSE we are made in His image. This is in us, BECAUSE we are made in His image. It was His emotion first, He just instilled it into us also. We feel that burning rage and desire for justice on behalf of your boyfriend "breaking covenant" or cheating on you. This is how God feels also.
When have you felt ANGRY when someone wronged you on purpose? Have you ever read the verse that says "be angry, but do not sin"? You would think that anger was bad and that He should have rather written "do not be angry". We can't refrain from anger, because it is an attribute of God's personality that we have BECAUSE we are in His image. Now with the anger, we are not perfect as God is, and we are far from being slow to anger and so Satan tempts us in our anger to hurt people with our words or with our actions. We can be angry (righteous anger, not angry because we are not patient) as long as we do not sin.
Have you ever thought of justice? When you saw that Tiger Woods had multiple affairs on his beautiful wife then you wanted him to burn, repent in utter humiliation or suffer greatly for his wrongdoing. This is because we are created in God's image! He is the same way! When the children of Israel made a golden calf and worshipped it right after they made covenant with God not to, He wanted to blot them out of His book. He wanted to destroy them and bring forth His promise through Moses and his children. Moses (a type of Christ) said NO! You would have to blot ME out of your book also if you did this. Do not do it! It was because of Moses' petition that God's anger was appeased. God saw goodness and mercy in Moses, which are also attributes from God, and He did not destroy them. Back to Tiger, everyone HATED him during all of that media frezy, he was now the scum of the earth because he did what was wrong. It is wrong and it is seated in our innermost parts... because this is how God created us... in His image and likeness.
So this is where the hypocrisy comes in. We are angry and feel justified at condemning Tiger Woods, yet we in our hearts are led to commit adultery through lust, and justify ourselves in doing it because we are blinded by the sin. We are blinded by Satan and tainted so that we can't be made complete and be conformed BACK into God's image through the life of Christ. This is why hypocrisy is so terrible, because we have the attributes of God at our disposal and we still feel the anger, jealousy, mercy, love, etc... and we exercise all of these against other people, but we ourselves are condemned by the same thing we say to another. This is why Jesus told us not to judge, because we will be judged by the SAME judgement.
It brings me to another attribute... mercy. When I was chosen as 1 of 12 jurors in Texas against a sex offender I went in angry and I was determined to put this terrible person behind bars. When we had to deliberate though, seeing him sit there in sadness and worried about his future in prison (his deed wasn't what you would think with a normal sex offender). Anyway, we all wanted to show him mercy, but he only allowed us to say if he was guilty or not, not determine his sentence. We had to agree that he failed to register as a sex offender and when we read the verdict he broke down in tears. We left feeling extreme mercy and compassion on this man and we wanted to make it go away. I never found out if he got off easy or had to go to jail, but we all would have set him free. This is the attribute of God when WE have a broken and repentant heart over our wrongdoing... mercy.
So next time you feel an emotion, remember not to be a hypocrite as Satan will tempt you to be, but be conformed back into Christ's image and you will gain more and more understanding about WHO God is and WHO He wants us to become!
So do what Jesus said to do: LOVE! BE merciful, don't judge (because that same judgment will judge you!), forgive 7 x70 times when your brother repents, have compassion, help those in need and you will be walking IN CHRIST! BE conformed to HIS IMAGE and His personality, use the attributes that God has given you as Christ would, not as Satan would. This is all summed up in two words: love and humility.
So knowing ourselves helps us understand how the same God can be just, merciful, compassionate, jealous and angry all at once, because we are the same way. We are aroused to these different emotions based on different circumstances. We ourselves will be shown the love of God if we walk as Christ walked, in love and compassion.
1 Peter 5:5
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
2 Corinthians 5:2
For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven:
Matthew 17:2
2And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light.
Revelation 1:10-17 when John saw Jesus in the Glory of God
10I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
11Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.
14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.
17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:
Revelation 4:3
3And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.
Exodus 34:14
For thou shalt worship no other god: for the LORD, whose name is Jealous, is a jealous God:
1 John 4:8
He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
7And the LORD said unto Moses, Go, get thee down; for thy people, which thou broughtest out of the land of Egypt, have corrupted themselves:
8They have turned aside quickly out of the way which I commanded them: they have made them a molten calf, and have worshipped it, and have sacrificed thereunto, and said, These be thy gods, O Israel, which have brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.
9And the LORD said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiffnecked people:
10Now therefore let me alone, that my wrath may wax hot against them, and that I may consume them: and I will make of thee a great nation.
11And Moses besought the LORD his God, and said, LORD, why doth thy wrath wax hot against thy people, which thou hast brought forth out of the land of Egypt with great power, and with a mighty hand?
12Wherefore should the Egyptians speak, and say, For mischief did he bring them out, to slay them in the mountains, and to consume them from the face of the earth? Turn from thy fierce wrath, and repent of this evil against thy people.
13Remember Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, thy servants, to whom thou swarest by thine own self, and saidst unto them, I will multiply your seed as the stars of heaven, and all this land that I have spoken of will I give unto your seed, and they shall inherit it for ever.
14And the LORD repented of the evil which he thought to do unto his people.
and vs 34,35
34Therefore now go, lead the people unto the place of which I have spoken unto thee: behold, mine Angel shall go before thee: nevertheless in the day when I visit I will visit their sin upon them.
35And the LORD plagued the people, because they made the calf, which Aaron made.
21Therefore the LORD heard this, and was wroth: so a fire was kindled against Jacob, and anger also came up against Israel;
Nehemiah 9:17
And refused to obey, neither were mindful of thy wonders that thou didst among them; but hardened their necks, and in their rebellion appointed a captain to return to their bondage: but thou art a God ready to pardon, gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and of great kindness, and forsookest them not
Genesis 1:27
27So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
I loved reading this. It really opened my mind and my heart to a greater understanding of Him and His ways. Thanks so much for sharing!
(02.14.12 @ 10:46 PM)Lauren, this was good. Very good. Keep posting on the blog and being real. Always works when you head towards the truth. And Dave? (previous poster) It may be too "preachy" for you, but if you really knew Lauren, you would know this is her. She's always been a "student" at heart and searching and learning.
(02.15.12 @ 09:15 AM)what a blessing to visit your blog to view beautiful pics and then to also receive such a great word. I dream about the vibrant colors of heaven. Thank you for sharing your heart.
(02.15.12 @ 10:26 AM)Male birds are more radiant bc they have to "win over" the female bird to get her to mate with them. Obviously her doing her own thang woos him enough to win over her affections. The hair of a woman is her glory, ...her breasts, her stomach, the color of her cheeks. Song of Songs depicts the beauty of woman to man. We are both made in the image of God. I really am not a feminist, if anything a little misogynistic :( bc I value women who raise babies. Ultimately, I appreciate your heart and how the Lord has stirred your emotions to Him and His glory through creation. Thank you for your blog.
(02.15.12 @ 12:13 PM)Can you post your homemade bread and tortilla recipes please? Sounds delicious!
(02.10.12 @ 09:23 PM)Are you buying all of the ingredients at Whole Foods?
(02.11.12 @ 10:53 AM)No, I buy everything either at the Stillwater Farmer's Market or Wal Mart. Whole Foods is lovely, but very expensive.
(02.11.12 @ 02:41 PM)I am using this for my grocery list on Friday! Thanks for sharing this. :)
(02.14.12 @ 05:44 PM)Thank you for this! I used the recipes for grocery shopping AND bought the book yesterday. :)
(02.15.12 @ 01:25 PM)HI Lauren! I have been creeping awhile on your blog (and when I say awhile I mean like about 4-5 yrs!) but this is my first comment. I think your work is amazing, but im wondering about your no dairy thing. I remember it had something to do with Solomon's tummy. I am pregnant with my second baby. We struggled bad with reflux and breastfeeding with out first. I am wondering what made you give up dairy? Do you feel it made a difference? Was it super hard? We eat alot of dairy!!! Any input would be much appreciated! I know you are super busy! feel free to email me if thats easier...evan.thurston.photo@gmail.com
(02.16.12 @ 12:16 PM)
What an awesome idea! Way to use your gift for impact! I also made a trip to Teguc (a medical mission with Lifechurch back in '07). The Jones have such a heart for the Hondurans, it's beautiful what they are able to do! Love all you pics from there :c)
(01.22.12 @ 07:13 AM)amazing idea lauren! love that!
(01.24.12 @ 10:32 AM)Oh Lauren...I loved seeing this today! We moved to Tegucigalpa at the beginning of this month to be the directors for another ministry here...I love that you are doing this, what a great impact it will have!
(01.24.12 @ 03:34 PM)Thanks Lauren! :) Been feeling this lately too. I'm just ready to see God erupt in our churches! Something big is coming, and I can't wait!
(01.18.12 @ 11:57 AM)preach on friend. preach on.
i love your heart. you inspire me to know HIM more and keep in check the gift of photography, that it is to reflect HIM and HIS creativity and HIS beauty and HIS people.
thank you.
Well said, love this post!! I'm so glad that I'm not the only person that has been thinking exactly that!!!
Thank you for being an inspiration!! :)
God bless!! :)
Thanks for the post, Lauren! I know a few people that are searching for the money, fame, acknowledgement, etc. They go from person to person or hobby to hobby thinking the next one will be THE big one! It's nice to hear that from someone that I follow and look up to, not only as a pro photog, but also someone whom I believe has a genuine heat. God longs to give us far more than we can ever imagine!
(01.18.12 @ 12:18 PM)We all need a little "Preachy Preach" now & then. And furthermore, because of your "fame" as a photographer, your reach through this blog is much larger than most. I commend you for using the platform that God gave you to preach His Gospel!!! You are an amazing photographer - you took pictures that made me okay with seeing "me" in a picture for goodness sake!!!! But its when we do EVERYTHING to HIS glory that things unfold in a manner we could never imagine. I am excited to see what God has in store for you and the talents that he gave you! Keep up the good work. . . . you are earning crowns, love!!!!!!!!!! :) :) :) :) :)
(01.18.12 @ 12:18 PM)Lauren, that is right on and so TRUE! Thanks!
(01.18.12 @ 12:21 PM)Just posted on my own blog about this very thing.
Go here and watch this video on Amazon. It's been burning up my heart all day! http://www.amazon.com/gp/mpd/permalink/m31AGO67I6MNEM/ref=ent_fb_link
(01.18.12 @ 12:31 PM)This definitely spoke to my heart. I am realizing that the things of this world are not worth what we put into them. This is truly inspiring and motivating.
(01.18.12 @ 12:47 PM)Lauren... You are so wise for your age... Most women don't figure these things out until SO MUCH later in life (if ever). I'm so PROUD of you! You don't even know me personally, but I am just that... Proud of you! As someone just breaking into the professional world of Photography, now I just need to figure out how to tie the two together for myself. It will be so much more rewarding that way... THANK YOU!
(01.18.12 @ 01:22 PM)thanks for the inspiration!! i always love reading your blog & this is one of my favorites of yours! thank you thank you!! :) i needed this!
(01.18.12 @ 02:06 PM)Thank you Lauren! I have been feeling a bit lost lately and thinking I needed to make a change. This spoke to me and now I know I need to just turn it over to God and learn to live for Him.
(01.18.12 @ 04:56 PM)Amen. And amen. I'm comforted to know I'm not the only one that has traveled, eaten, dieted, shopped, and the list goes on...to fill the void. And I'm expecially comforted by the reminder that Jesus is the only ONE that satisfies. Thanks, Lauren.
(01.18.12 @ 07:53 PM)Lauren- thanks for this blog post! These have been some of my thoughts lately! Preach on!
(01.18.12 @ 08:57 PM)Thank you for sharing your heart. I relate to always feel like I am searching for something to "fill" me (hobby after hobby), but when my heart it the most satisfied it's always when I feel closest to God. He is the only thing that can fill that spot that is purposely in every one of us. Thank you for the reminder, I know I needed it.
(01.18.12 @ 10:21 PM)Hi Lauren. I've come across your blog, and I enjoy your work, and I enjoy the blog. I, too, am Christian, and a young mom, and I think it's great that you take the opportunity to share your testimony on your blog. When I first read this, I either read it too fast, or you added a PS, because I was thinking about your post today and came back to say that you have been blessed with an incredible talent. I know this wasn't your resignation letter, but I think the Lord has blessed us each with different talents. He doesn't want us to burry them, but wants us to share them, and use them to uplift others. ....which is what it seems like you do. Think of the lasting photographs and memories you give to people. Think of the contribution of genealogy you give to these families. I don't think it's evil if fame and fortune come with it. Now if that's your motivation, I'm sure there's a different argument there. You seem to have your priorities set straight, with Christ in the center, surrounded by your sweet family. I love that you take the time to share your testimony. Seems like you're an example to those around you. Keep up the good work, and nice to meet ya. :) -Kendal
(01.18.12 @ 10:42 PM)The truth will set you free. Never regret saying it regardless of the cost. And what is it worth to gain the world but lose your soul? Keep seeking, speaking and being held accountable and challenged. Peace out-G
(01.18.12 @ 10:47 PM)beautiful words.
(01.19.12 @ 06:14 AM)Preach it sister! No beating around the bush, just lay it all out! My heart is cheering for you. Thanks for the encouragement!
(01.19.12 @ 09:57 AM)Hi Lauren! I just finished doing a study on I Thessalonians and we talked a lot about the end times. Reading your blog this morning reminded me of the urgency we have to spread the gospel just like Paul did. Thank you for living your faith out loud - you are such an inspiration. Praise God! :)
(01.19.12 @ 11:02 AM)so. hi. i never comment.
but today was a must.
because i read your beautiful post. the one written from a heart filled with passion for Jesus. love it. and i wanted to tell you as a "friend" AND as a client, please continue with your unbelievable talent. because you know what? Jesus used YOUR talent to bless MY life and the life of my family. you captured memories for us in a way that documents who my kiddos are. so right now...please thank Him for giving you an amazing talent. and share that with others. BECAUSE of Him.
there. i'm done.
(01.19.12 @ 12:24 PM)See...I told you I check in on your blog whenever you post something powerful and what I need to hear. I am now actually starting to realize that this happens to me EVERY TIME I visit. Your most recent post is something like this. Thank you!! I myself have deleted my facebook...just for this reason. It was a hindrance to my quiet time. I also ran into a few incidents that made me feel down (back down to where I was the year before). But I keep having to remind myself the promises that God has ALREADY fulfilled!! I'm working on not worrying about what the world thinks, but about pleasing Him. I have withdrawn myself from seeking the popularity that you talk about and more on Him, and secondly my family. I have so much more peace this way. And you know what? He still provides the sessions. I'm not exactly sure HOW (well, I do! Him!)...they just come when I need it the most. Thanks for this breath of fresh air. I really needed it. I was hard on myself tonight and realized I needn't be!! Thank you thank you thank you!

(01.19.12 @ 09:00 PM)Reminds me of the song I heard on KLOVE... Mandisa ~ Waiting For Tomorrow.
Big fan of your photography, and of this post :)
Here there or in the air!

I too have felt that emptiness and tried to fill it with all the wrong things, including, to a certain extent, my photography. This is a good reminder that we can only truly be satisfied and made whole through our lord and savior Jesus.
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
(01.30.12 @ 12:54 PM)
i am sending you my most positive thoughts, lauren. your londy will always be with you. *
(02.16.12 @ 08:19 AM)My heart goes out to you and yours.
(02.16.12 @ 08:21 AM)So sorry Lauren!
(02.16.12 @ 08:27 AM)This made me cry. I am so so sorry for your loss. I know how hard it is to lose a dog that should have had many more years to live. Absolutely heartbreaking.
(02.16.12 @ 08:36 AM)Prayers for you and your family!! I have been there and it hurts so bad to lose such a sweet member of the family. Thankfully, God really helps take away the hurt and sadness. One great thing about being a photographer is you have so many sweet photos to cherish of all the good times!
(02.16.12 @ 09:41 AM)I am so sorry! My hubby and I got our first dog as a wedding present to each other and she passed away after 12 years. Your story made me cry...but at least you know she will meet you again in heaven someday and is out of pain! It is that unconditional love of a dog that makes them mean so much to us!
(02.16.12 @ 09:57 AM)I am so sorry for your guys loss! I have been there and this is not easy. Glad she went peacefully at home.
(02.16.12 @ 11:26 AM)I'm so sorry Its so hard to loose a doggy :( she looks like she was a amazing dog!
(02.16.12 @ 02:26 PM)i'm so sorry, lauren. i have a dane as well, and i can't imagine losing him. such great dogs. i actually started reading your blog because of your dane posts! i know how hard this must be for meridian, so i'll be praying for her!
(02.17.12 @ 03:42 PM)Lauren, I'm sorry to hear about your loss of London. I have been following your blog for the past 6 years and know how much she meant to you guys. I know how hard it is to drive your beloved dog to the vet to have them put down, as I had to put down my Shyner of 14 years a while back. I am so glad that she was with you guys and she knows how much you love her. May her pictures and her memories be held close.
(02.17.12 @ 09:41 PM)I am so sorry for your loss Lauren! You are in my prayers. As you know we too love our dogs and they are part of our family so I know how you feel. Our love to you guys and sweet London.
(02.22.12 @ 10:40 AM)I'm sorry to hear about your loss Lauren. I have always remembered when your puppy was diagnosed with Addison's disease, because it was about the same time they diagnosed my mother with the same disease. Hang in there!
(02.22.12 @ 01:27 PM)
