Introduction Thursday (that's a thing cuz I just made it up) Im Abby Jo! I'm a wife, a momma of soon to be 2 little girls, a home maker, a friend, encourager, and Photographer. I've been serving central Illinois Brides and High School seniors for the past 2 years and love ever minute of what I do. It truly is a blessing to do what you love. I've never felt like I'm working because I truly enjoy meeting all my clients and serving them to the best of my ability. ⁠⠀
_______________________⁠⠀
I just want to say how thankful I am to all of you who follow and support me! This business can be a tough one without encouragement from dear friends like you! So Thank you!!⁠⠀
______________________⁠⠀
As I step into my maternity leave I cannot believe how quickly this summer has gone and at 38 weeks pregnant I'm thinking its time I slow down and focus on this new baby girl that will be here before we even know it! ⁠⠀
_______________________⁠⠀
Just a shout out to my current Brides and clients and new friends I've yet to meet if I don't respond right away to e-mails or inquiries I'd so appraise your patience as we head into the next couple of weeks with a new born at home. ⁠⠀
______________________⁠⠀
Last thing! I also want to thank @haleyaphoto for these amazing maternity photos she is a gem of a dear friend and extremely talented photographer go give her a like and a follow!⁠⠀

@shelbpasswater Girl! you made one absolutely stunning Bride! ⁠⠀

What’s on my mind today.. Quenching the Holy Spirit... what does that mean? To ignore the Spirit could result in a hardened heart to Gods leading and guidance. But to listen could mean the furtherance of the gospel or encouragement to dear brothers and sisters in Christ! If God puts something on your heart don’t delay in following through it very well could be encouragement to your soul.

As I reflect on laying my uncle to rest yesterday it’s still surreal that a loved one who has always been apart of your life is now no longer here. It’s important to continue to keep the memories of your loved ones alive by talking about them and trying to put into practice the great legacies they lived out.
___________
Let’s remember together today. What loved ones have moved on from this life and what legacies did they leave on your heart?
__________
My mind is on the fact that life is short my friends we need to keep our focus on eternity. Building our mansions here in earth is truly worthless because we can’t take a single thing with us. The only things we can take are other souls. I hope you know the true saving grace of Jesus Christ through his perfect sacrifice one the cross so you too may be building into eternity.
