The McLarrin's




















16 and counting! =) This is truly a beautiful family!! And man, are they "troopers"!!! When my husband and I pulled up for this session he said it looked like it might rain. So I pulled up TWC and there was 0% chance-- whew!! SO we got out to look around-- and that 0 turned to 100!!! I was so worried! This is a family of 16 coming from different towns at 9am on a Saturday!!! There is NO WAY we want to call this off. So we set up and got to shooting. As they're all sitting there Brandon could see the "big rain" coming our way. We took off running and as we were getting in the cars it POURED!!! and POURED!!! But we waited for it to pass and took care of business!!! We were all so thankful that we didn't have to reschedule all that! Depspite all of the craziness it was great!! I had a wonderful time and I think their pictures turned out fabulous!!
Thank you so much T, for calling and setting this up! Thank you for trusting me to get it all done!! You are blessed with an amazing family. =)

Promise of Joy:
Believe in the Lord your God, and you will be able to stand firm.

I have been thinking a lot lately about why we as Christians sometimes don't behave as Christians. I believe it's because we lose focus, for one... but mostly I don't think we "get" who He truly IS. We don't have the fear and respect of His power and His glory. We don't keep His commandments because we don't take His consequences and His promises seriously!! I could think of a thousand analogies to go along with this. But it's like seeing a child in the store with a patient and loving parent talking gently to the child to stop pulling toys off of the shelf. Then watching that child look straight at the parent and clearing the shelf!! You'd be outraged if the parent didn't discipline the unruly, disrespectful child. How much MORE would it be with a Holy GOD??? But we live in sin.. even when He tells us in His word NOT to. We too will be disciplined out of love.
