On the 4th...

We declared our independence from Britain....

And our dependence on God.



Not one of the signers of the Decleration of Independence, or of the Constitution, believed that there was NOT a God.  They all knew and believed in Him, even if they didn't trust their life to Him.  They founded this nation on principles first found in the Bible.  Our Nation has gone through many trials, but we are still standing.  But we must fight for our Nation, we must fight to uphold our values.

"Well there's pride in every American heart

and its time we stand and say.

That I'm proud to be an American,

where at least I know I'm free.

And I wont forget the men who died,

who gave that right to me.

And I gladly stand up,

next to you and defend her still today.

‘Cause there ain't no doubt I love this land,

God bless the USA." -God Bless the USA

Anyway I just wanted to take a moment and say:

 Happy Independence Day

Because I'm proud that I have the privilege to live and breathe in this country.  I am very proud to be an American. 

God Bless,

Kristin

P.S. This is one of my favorite poems below, enjoy. :)

She Loves Her Horses | {Portraits}

So a few days ago I got to go take some pictures of a friend of mine and her horses.

Horses that are, obviously, absolutely gorgeous.  She adores them and I now see why. :)

Between her and her sister they have four horses (one isn't pictured), and as we kept taking pictures I just kept falling in love with them.  Chip (the first pictured and the black one) never failed to walk up to the camera, oftentimes looking straight at it.  We had to work around some bright sunlight, but soon after we started the sun started setting.  It added so much to the pictures, giving a "dreamy" feel to them.

Anyway I thought I would share, well, because I couldn't help it.  :)  In my opinion they could be some of the sweetest (and most beautiful horses) I have seen. :)

Have a great day!
