Day 2: I Am Second

I stayed up late into the night reading the I Am Second book. This book has so many testimonies of people realizing that they can't live their lives any longer unless they put God as number one...


I honestly thought I was doing that until I read this book. This book opened my eyes and my heart to how selfish I have been lately. As humans, our first instinct is to put ME first. Selfishness is something we are born into. As Christians, we must LEARN to put God first.

Why do I think I should be first in my life? I don't know my future. I don't know what's going to happen to me tomorrow. So, why should I be putting my thoughts, needs, and actions first? I definitely want God in control considering He knows way more about me than I do!
Last night when I was reading this book I realized I had to give everything to God. By giving everything to God was me telling God that I trust Him with everything in me. 


The verse highlighted in the picture is one of my favorites. Josh Hamilton quotes it in his story. "Humble yourselves before God, resist the devil and he will flee from you." James 4:7 
It's time to get down on our knees and humble ourselves before our God. 


I can't wait to see what God will do with my life now that I've decided to put Him first. I pray that wherever God chooses to use me, I will give Him all the glory! I know I'm still gonna make mistakes. But, that's what God's grace is for!  

Day 1: Me

My name is Hannah and I'm 20 years old. 

My favorite thing to do is take pictures. I love capturing the moment on a picture. In high school, my friends always teased me for taking so many pics of myself. I wasn't conceited or stuck up, but I always thought it was fun to take random pics of myself, along with tons of pics of my friends. I'm not a photographer, I just like taking pictures. I don't take pictures to win a contest or get compliments. I take pictures to forever remember that memory. I believe that every moment in life deserves to be remembered...good or bad. 

Last night I was laying in bed and decided I wanted to do something challenging with taking pictures. I want to challenge myself to take and post a picture every day for 365 days. This challenge isn't meant to brag on myself or get attention. This is simply a challenge I am bringing upon myself. I honestly don't think I can do it...but I wanna prove myself wrong!

Rule 1: I have to post a picture for every day.

Rule 2: I can never post the same picture.

Rule 3: I can't stress out about this. 

Day 1: A picture of me

I wanted to dress up all cute, put make up on, fix my hair, and go somewhere with an awesome background. Then, I realized that I want this picture to be completely natural, blemishes and all. This  is who I am when I decided to take this 365 picture challenge. 

I want to look back on this day 1 year from now and be able to see how I've changed, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
