finished project

"Bask in the luxury of being fully understood and unconditionally loved. Dare to see yourself as I see you: radiant in My righteousness, cleansed by my blood. I view you as the one I created you to be, the one you will be in actuality when heaven becomes your home." Jesus Calling

Psalm 34:5 They looked to Him and were radiant and their faces shall never be ashamed.

II Corinthians 5:2 He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we may

become the righteousness of God in Him.

Projects are often tedious. In 2009, I got a digital camera and started storing pictures on my computer. Matt suggested that since our photo albums were starting to fall apart, it would be a good idea to scan all of our old pictures also. That winter I scanned years 1979-1997 and then put away the project for the summer. Of course, last year we were in the process of

getting settled in after our move to Indiana, so I didn't do any scanning.

On Sunday, I decided it was time to work on this project again. Unfortunately, I hit a snag

almost immediately. I located the scanner, but could not find the cords. Tom and I looked

everywhere, but couldn't find them. Tom went on line and ordered a

new set that will be here in a few weeks.

my office while I am working on photo project:

I decided to at least get my pictures organized so that when the cords arrive, I will be ready.

boxes of photos that are already scanned:

box of photos that need to be scanned:

Second snag... I found a box with years 1998-2006, but I couldn't find the years 2007 and 2008. Now those years were pretty hard ones for our family, but I know that we took some pictures. Time to search again.

I found a box of pictures. Next snag... these pictures that are not dated. I began to sort through the box. There were many duplicates of pictures that I knew I had already scanned. So I threw those out. Then I found several pictures that were from 2007, but there didn't seem to be enough for that year and the next. By that time, I was exhausted and frustrated and decided to put the box away. I will save it until after I have finished copying all the other pictures that are dated and then I will try to deal with it.

box to deal with later:

Makes me so thankful that even though I see my life as a work in progress, God sees me as complete, perfect.
