MOC 5 Colorized Grid
January 5, 2020



Journaling:
When Melissa was almost 7, she did a photo shoot for her Dad's company. He was the graphic designer and they were going to do an ad campaign with faces of many children of different ethnicities and superimpose the world on their faces. Melissa was chosen for it, but in the end, the director said she wasn't "ethnic enough", and they dropped her for "browner faces". We were disappointed, but at least we were given the photos they took.

I used a green, blue, red, yellow, and peach colorization.

MOC Day 12
January 12, 2020 - Filled Template



Journaling:
This year, we decided to donate any of our unused decorations to families who didn't have any. A woman came to pick up the house lights, and when she got there, I offered our 4ft tree. Her eyes lit up and said her 4 year old daughter wanted a tree in her room but they couldn't afford it. I gave her the tree, and an hour later we got this picture. Her mom was so happy and her daughter was over the moon. There is great joy in paying it forward.

MOC 17 Hindsight is 20/20
January 17, 2020



The journaling is basically about the fact that if certain things weren't in place in the past that when our marriage was tested, we might not have made it. It's our very personal journey that is not public knowledge, so I feel reticent to share it. It's been okayed to have ghosted it as part of the background. I deleted details for this public journaling.

Basically, it says this:

There are decisions and actions that happen in our lives that we have no idea the importance of when they happen. Since 2011, my life has been one storm after another. The years between 2011 and 2015 had much to cry over, and much to challenge us. The pivotal point was on Christmas Day night, 2015, when my Mom was killed in a car accident. I went into a “functional” depression. I got up, I took care of things, but I was barely there. I stopped caring about my appearance, and stopped wearing makeup. I ate too much and gained nearly 40 pounds. I stopped praying, and just existed. During this time, my husband and I went through a very trying time in our marriage.

If God hadn’t paved the way, I would be writing this today as a divorced woman. In God’s providence, he placed things in our lives to stop this time from destroying us, and destroying our family.

Hindsight is 20/20 - and it’s also a time to look back and see just how much God loves us, and how he knows every choice and every action of our lives can be used for good. Today, 3 years later, our marriage is restored and renewed and our marriage is better than it has ever been. This storm woke us BOTH up, and shook us, and made us really choose eachother all over again. Through communication, hard work, and grace - God has renewed our marriage.
