It’s so hard to admit when you’re wrong! In my close-minded mind, I’m always right and I will fight you tooth and nail to prove it to you. There are some people I will bend to quicker than others, but to the ones who know me best … it’s a battle to the death! And most of the time in only ends in hurt and sadness. So why do I keep doing this if it causes so much hurt?
TIME TO GET REAL AND TAKE OFF THE MASK
It’s something that I have struggle with for a long time, and hurts the relationships that I’m in. My pride just gets the better of me sometimes; I know my faults and I know how I fail, but it’s even harder to hear it from people you love.My mom always says to me “Lyryn, you can’t hear the truth.” And then I get mad at her for saying it! The reason I get so mad, is because it’s so true. Well Mom, I hear you… I get it… your only speaking truth.
As most of you know, these past few months have been super hard. And I know a big part of that has been because of this huge thing called pride and self control in my life. Why must I always have the last word? Why do I need to pick a fight about the dishes? Is it really worth all the fighting? And if I didn’t get my point across that day it would be 100 times worst the next. Life can be over whelming when you deal with this all day! And for some reason I couldn’t see or accept that I was treating people this way all because my pride stood in the way! I couldn’t even been corrected by family member about the way I talked to my husband. How in the world have I been walking in love? I haven’t, which explains a lot about where I a now.
Slowly but surly, I’m understanding the ins and outs of little old me. The truth is sometimes is really hard to hear, but how can you grow if your unwilling to hear the truth and change. And if we are unwilling to hear truth from our own family members, how are we ever going to hear truth from God. If you can’t accept what the people who love you the most are saying about you, you’re not going to be able to accept what your Father in heaven has to say? I would really encourage you to take a good look at your life and see if there is a part of you that prideful and can’t hear truth from the people who love you most, you might be surprised … I was.

Kylie Joy
Yesterday, I had the great privilege of photographing Kylie Joy Witmer only hours after she arrived into this world. Beautiful Kylie Joy arrived right on time July 15th at 8:36pm; wide eyed and a head full of red hair, she is going to be a beautiful addition to the Witmer clan.
Kesh (mommy to Kylie) did wonderfully; labor was nothing like the first time, which was exactly what we prayed for! God is good! It was so cute to walk in and see Kesh chowing down on chips and a sandwich, and to top it all off she greeted us with a huge grin. She was too cute, if I could only look so beautiful after pushing out a baby!
This family means the world to me, and I was so honored to be able to capture this moment for them. Jim, the older brother I never had and look up to so much and Kesh, the older sister I get all my mommy and baby advice from. I can only hope that these pictures return the favor.
I’m not quite finished with all the pictures, but here are a few of my favorites!
