When I met Yecenia, my day was instantly brighter. She is a senior at Case High School (Racine, WI) and is one of the sweetest, most bubbly people I've met. Her smile is contagious and she's got a big heart. You may have seen her being tossed in the air during sporting events with the cheer team or singing with the choir. In the future, you're sure to see her name in lights—quite possibly at Disney World!
I hope you enjoy these photo highlights from her senior session as you read her story...
Read MoreGod has given me the idea to pursue a personal design project of creating minimalist posters to share the awesome stories of the Bible. If you missed out on previous posters, don't worry, I have created a landing page where you can easily catch up. Check it out here.
This poster series comes from the book of Genesis. It is a story filled with tests of faith, promises and miracles. I'm excited today to reveal The Covenant: Abraham's Faith Test Part 3, part eleven of an eleven part series.

The toughest thing for me is, I'm really lousy at relaxing. My body doesn't know how to rest, my mind is always running a mile a minute and I feel the need to be busy doing something all the time. I'm not a napper... If I am "at rest" I'm usually trying to go to sleep for the night. Mondays have been a learning process for me and I have honestly had to practice "resting".
Yesterday, against my will [and my lengthy to-do list], I finally rested my mind and body a bit and the unexplainable happened: I busted out in silent, streaming tears. Why? No idea.
