Until then, we will be too important in the plan. Man's opinion will be too significant to us. And, we will churn and wrestle and struggle our way through the Christian life. Trying too hard to please people rather than living it relieved and relaxed in His plan." Taken from the book Mystery of God's Will by Charles Swindoll.<br /><br />Sovereignty means God is in control. This is His life, His will, His plan, His world, and we are His people. Until we realize that we do not have sovereignty, we are not in control over us, we will not live in peace.<br /><br />We need to realize that we are not the ruler over our lives but that we were created to surrender it to His plan and trust Him. We need to realize that we are not in control of, nor can we change people. We also need to realize that until we purpose ourselves to live an obedient life to Christ, we will be people pleasers. Being a people pleaser causes us to agree to things that there is no grace for. It causes an overcrowded schedule. It causes us to second guess certain things about ourselves. It causes us to harbor unforgiveness toward ourselves even when we fail to please someone around us.<br /><br />Yesterday's blog came from being too concerned with what others think of me. It is a three-fold thing for me. I am concerned with how others around me perceive me. I have learned this week that this way of thinking is bondage and I'm gettn' free! A portion of it was directed toward my husband because I know I've missed it with him on many occasions. I was angry, in part, with him because I can't live up to his expectations. He is seeking more right now than what I am capable of giving. Finally, I'm angry with myself because I know I'm not meeting his needs. It's sad when you feel like a continual failure, especially when 9 times out of 10 it is due to selfishness. My husband has always believed that people get defensive in certain situations because they feel guilty. I got angry with him because I know I'm failing in certain areas and frankly, I don't want to be reminded by his sad eyes.<br /><br />When I first came to terms with our housing situation I had a friend tell me over and over to, well, get over myself because Jesus bought and paid for it all. he paid the price for my past. I actually didn't keep in contact with her because I wasn't sure about her beliefs and doctrine.<br /><br />Philippians 3:12-16 NLT<br />12 I don't mean to say that I have already achieved these things or that I have already reached perfection. But I press on to posses that perfection for which Christ Jesus first possessed me. 13 No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead. 14 I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us.<br />15 Let us all who are spiritually mature agree on these things. If you disagree on some point, I believe God will make it plain to you. 16 But we must hold on to the progress we have already made.<br /><br />In verse 12 Paul is saying I'm not there, I'm not perfect. In verse 13 he is saying but his focus is on one thing, forgetting the past! In verse 15, he is saying that if you want to spend your life dwelling on the past and beating yourself up, you are spiritually immature. In verse 16 he is saying, I'm not where I want to be, but thank God I'm not where I used to be. Acknowledge the progress you have already made. Whoo hoo! That's good news people.<br /><br />So if I want to spend my time questioning God's promises, wondering whether he really forgives, and beating myself up, I'm being immature and wasting time. It takes a lot of faith to ask God to forgive you once, receive it, and move on.<br /><br />Furthermore, God chooses to use people that the world would consider garbage. My value is not measured in what others think of me or even what I think of me. It is measured in what God thinks of me.<br /><br />I am loved by God and He gave his one and only Son for me. (John 3:16)<br />I am a new creation in Christ; the old has gone and the new has come! (2 Corinthians 5:17)<br />I have peace with God. (Romans 5:1)<br />The Holy Spirit lives in me.

(Jeremiah 31:3)<br />I am the sweet fragrance of Christ to God. (2 Corinthians 2:15)<br />I am a temple in which God dwells. (1 Corinthians 3:16)<br />I am blameless and beyond reproach. (Colossians 1:22)<br />I am the salt of the earth. (Matthew 5:13)<br />I am the light of the world. (Matthew 5:14)<br />I am a branch on Christ's vine. (John 15:1,5)<br />I am Christ's friend. (John 15:5)<br />I am chosen by Christ to bear fruit. (John 15:16)<br />I am a joint heir with Christ, sharing His inheritance with Him. (Romans 8:17)<br />I am a member of Christ's body. (1 Corinthians 12:27)<br />I am a saint. (Ephesians 1:1)<br />I am hidden with Christ in God. (Colossians 3:3)<br />I am chosen by God, holy and dearly loved. (Colossians 3:12)<br />I am a child of the light. (1 Thessalonians 5:5)<br />I am holy, and I share in God's heavenly calling. (Hebrews 3:1)<br />I am sanctified. (Hebrews 2:11)<br />I am one of God's living stones, being built up in Christ as a spiritual house. (1 Peter 2:5)<br />I am firmly rooted and built up in Christ. (Colossians 2:7)<br />I am born of God, and the evil one cannot touch me. (1 John 5:18)<br />I have the mind of Christ.

She opted to trick-or-treat with her cousin this year instead. So my three youngest munchkins were left to hang out with mom and dad on the warmest Halloween I can remember around here. Check out my "Spa Girl," "Princess Belle," and my funny faced "Pirate."<br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=017proof.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/017proof.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=013proof-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/013proof-2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=015proof-3.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/015proof-3.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=016proof-2.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/016proof-2.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=027proof.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/027proof.jpg" border="0" /></a>Kari Dawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05126367022113250883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568554241795181266.post-60600966417161661022008-10-31T08:32:00.000-07:002008-10-31T08:33:19.273-07:00Stahl Family PreviewComing soon...<br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=067proof.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/067proof.jpg" border="0" /></a>Kari Dawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05126367022113250883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568554241795181266.post-51853596336707136332008-10-29T10:16:00.001-07:002008-10-29T10:19:13.076-07:00The Anderson's {Family}Sorry for the long wait Lisa!

The best part of the park was reserved until the afternoon so we were limited with our space to work with. It turned out to be a good thing because it forced me to be more creative and I got some shots from perspectives of the park that are just as pretty but had previously just walked by.<br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=047copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/047copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=012blackwhite.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/012blackwhite.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=044blackwhite.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/044blackwhite.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=067blackwhite.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/067blackwhite.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=009cropped.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/009cropped.jpg" border="0" /></a>Kari Dawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05126367022113250883noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568554241795181266.post-49729584905664301762008-10-10T04:42:00.000-07:002008-10-10T04:43:42.630-07:00'S' Girls PreviewOne of my favorites, ever!<br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=055blackwhite.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/055blackwhite.jpg" border="0" /></a>Kari Dawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05126367022113250883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568554241795181266.post-89924729746364483942008-10-08T10:30:00.001-07:002008-10-08T10:30:31.991-07:00Comp/Zed CardWell with Caitlin wanting to be a model and all, I designed a few composite cards to get her started.

<br />
<br />I just love this song and had to share her video. If Bob Fosse were still with us, he'd hear this song and write another play. Or, should there be a new release of yet another Bond movie, this would be perfect!

Plus, I haven't posted pictures of my own children in quite a long time. I think I post the fewest number of pictures of my Faith. I absolutely love this shot of her. So much that I'm ordering it in a 30x24 Gallery Wrap. I have a Halloween gig coming in where I've sponsored the event and have a table to display my work. I am going to be the only photographer there, awesome! So this will be one of my display pieces.<br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=144vingetteproof.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/144vingetteproof.jpg" border="0" /></a>Kari Dawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05126367022113250883noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568554241795181266.post-85423166100990909402008-09-26T12:27:00.000-07:002008-10-01T10:12:02.830-07:00Blake Lively, I Mean, Caitlin...I had a ton of fun during this shoot and then thoroughly enjoyed editing every one of her images. She has sixty images to choose from! Caitlin is young and ambitious with a desire to become a model. I am currently developing a comp card for her as well so check back for a peek at what we come up with. Look out Blake Lively, Caitlin will give you a run for your money! There are too many super cool, awesome images to post so I'll have to restrain myself from posting too many. Caitlin is also the lovely lady who has graced my banner the last couple of weeks.<br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=DSC_84498x10.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/DSC_84498x10.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=051.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/051.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=077.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/077.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=144copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/144copy.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=137.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/137.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Rick Minton and I did the photoshoot together.

Their nuptials are set to take place in October and I'm looking forward shooting their big day. Matt and Laura have 9 attendees on each side including their Maid of Honor and Best Man so I have all kinds of fun ideas running rampid for their huge wedding party. Plus their reception is at the same place where my best friend was just married this past weekend so I had the chance to check out the lighting, the golf course, and this amazing green shed that I'm so excited to use. The greens should be perfect and the trees that surround it should be full of vibrant color.<br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view&current=070DWG.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/070DWG.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view¤t=065copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/065copy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view¤t=017vingette.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/017vingette.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view¤t=030copy.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/030copy.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a><br /><br /><a href="http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/?action=view¤t=024_2blackwhite.jpg" target="_blank"><img src="http://i304.photobucket.com/albums/nn184/KariDawsonPhotography/024_2blackwhite.jpg" border="0" alt="Photobucket"></a>Kari Dawsonhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05126367022113250883noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6568554241795181266.post-55575367635220795662008-09-19T07:38:00.000-07:002008-09-19T07:41:16.504-07:00Busy EditingI know there are a few of you awaiting your online proofs.
