Here are pictures of the newest member of the Ramak family.  She is so beautiful and we got to bond when she was only 12 hours old.  She has a sweet spirit and I look forward to watching her grow. Read more »

So it has only been a little over a month since our 2 year anniversary.  Not TOO bad for me as far as getting things edited and posted lol.  I’mtrying really hard to get caught up so I can do more shoots.

Ken and I have gone through A LOT in our short 2 years of marriage and I am proud to say I love him  so much more then I did they day we got married.  Sometimes I think about when we got married and I think it is a miracle from God!  He has healed us and cleansed us from so many negative things in our relationship and I am so thankful that He knew He would do it and blessed us in the process.   God is so good!  So here are the pictures from our trip to Seaside, OR.  Super cute town and I highly recommend anyone go there for a weekend getaway!

I just realized I never posted with Laura’s pictures.  It was a great time spent with sister and a good first shoot with her.  I look forward to the next!

We had a great early morning shoot and I really enjoyed hanging out with her!  It had been way too long!  I hope you enjoy these pics!

OK  ok, so i’ve been really really bad at posting pictures from the reunion.  I have finally edited some and I hope they look ok!  enjoy!

well that is all I have for now…i’m not sure how much I will have to post later either.  I always take a ton of pictures but then can’t find any I like afterwards.  Anyway, I think this project is mostly closed and I have a few more to post to keep your eyes peeled!

I have sent this out as an e-mail to most everyone I know but thought there was a small chance I missed someone or don’t have their e-mail address so if I missed you I’m sorry and please read this and DO IT!! lol.  I love you all!

Hello loved ones!

The Lord laid something on Ken’s heart for us to do and we are trying to be faithful in this call.  We don’t know where it will go or what will come with it, all we can do is be diligent and that is where y’all come in.

We were talking recently about testimonies and what emotions come flooding into our hearts when we hear about another believer’s experience in coming to know the Lord.  It always sparks this giddiness and love in my heart and reminds me of my own coming into a relationship with Christ.  There seems to be, for each of us, a time in our life when God became real and we truly felt Him for the first time.  We are asking each of you, and anyone you want to forward this e-mail on to, to write down your testimonies, focusing especially on when you met God face to face and realized what He did for you.  I realize that describing this is NEAR impossible:) but I want you to write it as though you were writing to someone who has never met you.  You can make it as long as you want because we can always edit down if need be.

Testimonies are a celebration of God bringing us from so much sin we can’t even see and wiping us clean with His own blood.  It is right for us to share them and always be ready to give an account of what He has done for us.  People can try to deny the Lord and can try to say that the Bible isn’t true but they can never take away your testimony!!! It is yours special from the Lord.

Therefore do not be ashamed of the testimony about our Lord, nor of me His prisoner, but share in suffering for the gospel by the power of God, who saved us and called us to a holy calling, not because of our works but because of His own purpose and grace, which He gave us in Christ Jesus before the ages began, and which now has been manifested through the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.
2 Timothy 1:8-10

Now the full number of those who believed were of one heart and soul, and no one said that any of the things that belonged to him was his own, but they had everything in common.  And with great power the apostles were giving their testimony to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and great grace was upon them all.
Acts 4:32-33

If we receive the testimony of men, the testimony of God is greater, for this is the testimony of God that he has borne concerning his Son.  Whoever believes in the Son of God has the testimony in himself. Whoever does not believe God has made him a liar, because he has not believed in the testimony that God has borne concerning his Son.  And this is the testimony, that God gave us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. Whoever has the Son has life; whoever does not have the Son of God does not have life.
1 John 5:9-12

Some of you might not even have your testimony all squared away and this is ok!  This is a great reason to remember all that God has done for you and where He has brought you from and write it down.  I truly believe we should always have our 30 second, 5 minute, 10 minute and 1 hour:) testimonies ready to share in a moments notice, just in case God brings someone into your path who needs to hear it.

So if you feel called, please write down your testimonies and e-mail or mail them to me!  When we know what we are doing with them we will let y’all know for sure and can’t wait to hear all about what God has done in your lives!  Please also include your name and address at the bottom or top so we can keep them all neat and in line.  Again, feel free to forward this e-mail to any mature christians that you know and feel might want to share their testimony.  WE love you all so much!

In His grip,
