Raising Mustard Seeds: Gianna's Photos, 10 months

Intro

We named our blog “Raising Mustard Seeds” after the famous parable in Matthew’s Gospel. We had some mustard seeds of our own laying dormant in our hearts, and finally, the year before our marriage, we began to let those seeds grow. Our journey with Christ hasn’t always been easy, but it has bore more fruit than we could possibly imagine. And through the mustard seeds He planted in our hearts, He opened them to receive little mustard seeds of our own…

While Jesus in this parable is talking about how faith and our relationship with God should grow from something very small to something mighty and powerful, it’s applicable to our children as well. It is our hope that through prayer and proper parenting, our children will grow from small and helpless (tiny mustard seeds) to being mighty in Christ, so that they will be shining lights in the world and people will come to “dwell in the branches” of their faith.

So, this is our little space in the big internet where we will share our most likely crazy experiences as we start our family and we hope those who are close to us will enjoy laughing at us and with us, and maybe even learn something new :)

Gianna's Photos, 10 months

Merry Christmas Eve, everyone! We had planned to take family pictures for Christmas, but unfortunately, Chris has been so busy at work, he couldn't get off for pictures. Instead, we just took some pics of Gianna and are going to take photos all together in January. I even sneaked into some of the pics. Gianna is suspicious of the camera and doesn't last long, but still manages to look cute. This is the goodness our friend, Tiffany at TK Photography snapped in 15 minutes!

All photos taken by TK Photography. Awesome Maraca that totally saved the photoshoot: Come Together Trading
