I took this while the sun was setting with the camera half-way in the sand.

I also took this while the sun was setting with the camera half-way in the sand, but facing towards the sun.

If you are bike riding behind anyone and you see the perfect setting…Take out your camera and take a picture. This is a picture of me that my mama took while bike-riding behind me.

Building sand castles are so much fun and after your beautiful masterpiece has been made, take a picture.

Have someone take a picture of you when the ocean is calm…It is the best time. You don’t want a wave crashing over you!

When ever you see something that really catches your eye, take a selfie. I saw this ginormous duck and immediately took a selfie😜

I saw my brother, Robby standing in the sand with the water washing up against his feet. I saw the perfect angle and took the shot. I think it turned out great. I don’t think you can tell, but he was eating his ice cream at the time😂🍦

We all took a bike ride down to Raw & Juicy, where we got smoothies! Go here for information about Raw & Juicy- http://www.rawandjuicylife.com

I took this from the beach house. I didn’t want it to be any ordinary ocean picture so, I shot the picture with half of a palm tree in the corner🌴

This may sound random or out of place, but I was thinking about my grandpa’s friend’s ministry the other day. The founder’s name is Joanne Ellison and this is her bio. from her website- http://joanneellison.com


About Joanne

Founder of international nonprofit Drawing Near to God based in Mt. Pleasant, S.C., Joanne Ellison teaches women to make space for God so that God’s presence keeps them from being overwhelmed with life.

Driven by a vision to motivate women to pursue a deeper relationship with God, Ellison founded Drawing Near to God in 2000 and has since reached tens of thousands of women through Christian radio, television broadcasts, her weekly Bible study, livestreaming, speaking, books, CDs and DVDs. She is the author of over 20 Bible study guides, the popular 365-day Bible devotional, Drawing Near To God, Sitting at His Feet devotional and Tell Your Heart to Beat Again.

Ellison is an engaging speaker, writer and Bible teacher. Her speaking style includes both vulnerability and humor (be sure to ask her about her experience with horseflies in Germany!) and is rooted in her passion for the Bible. She has shared her passion globally, with speaking engagements ranging from the coast of South Carolina to the coast of California and from universities to the Women’s Union of Nairobi, Kenya.

She is a mother of three, grandmother of 11 and has been married for 44 years to Dr. Blount Ellison. Making her home in the Charleston area for most of her life, Ellison is a graduate of the College of Charleston and an active member of Saint Andrew’s Church, Mount Pleasant, SC.

Madison
