  1. beautiful photos!! Love the perspective, especially of the paint brushes. I have given birth to five babies and I am always amazed at how instinctive it is - you'll do great! It' hard to "be still" sometimes - especially the closer and closer it gets to delivery... sending love & prayers your way!

  2. Great photos and post in general. Thanks also for leaving a comment on my blog. It appears we are both in MT - I'm in Gallatin Gateway. Love your art that I caught a quick glimps of in earlier posts!

  4. Thank you, Faith! And thank you for the labor encouragement. I kind of feel the same way -- that what I need to do will come naturally at the time. But you're right -- it's so easy to be antsy and impatient! :)

    I wanna take pictures like that. So jealous.

    Not only am I impressed by your mad photo skillz (the "z" means extra special), but I'm also amazed at your braveness to use the word "epiphany," which I always think I'm spelling wrong.

    Because I usually am.

  10. Haha thanks, Rebecca! I just took this with my camera's point-and-shoot setting, so I bet you could take ones of a similar quality/style, too!

    I sometimes wonder if "epiphany" was the wrong choice for a name, since it IS pretty hard to spell! Ah well...it still rings true! :)

  11. Knowing God is in control and we don't have to be...for me...is the biggest revelation! LOVE love your blog and photos. Exciting time for you soon to be mama. Blessings and thanks for stopping by my blog.

  12. "a crazy snowstorm"----I laughed out loud! I love that adjective with the word snowstorm. I think my sense of humor may be a little quirky! Like your list and your photos, Beth!
