Frosty Morning

I promised I would post pictures the next time our tree was dressed in frost.  I SO wish you could see it in person.  The images I've posted really don't do it justice, but here they are none the less.  I love seeing mother nature's beauty so up close and personal and I don't even have to leave my front yard!  (If you click on the photos to enlarge them you can almost see the frost crystals shinning.)

As the sun begins to rise.

The moon is peaking through.

Ribbons in the sky.

The heart of the tree.

Beautiful Contrast

Let the sun shine in.

Touched By Hope

Touched By Hope
As depression englufed the last two years of my life I am constantly amazed at the moments of peace and light that have been placed in my way. I have found the light of true faith. Not just a belief in our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, but faith that is changing my very way of being. Faith that is pulling me out of the darkest place I have ever been into the light and peace that can only come from the love and truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This is my journey.

About Me

Marianne
I'm madly in love with the man of my dreams...my husband Ryan. I have two darling and VERY active little boys, Bradley & Braeden. I gratefully spend my days at home with them. I am a devout member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and truly attribute any level of happiness to the teachings learned from my membership. I am fighting and uphill war with major depression, but I feel that as I learn more about true faith I am winning more battles.
