Praia D’Ulé

I thought it would be cool to keep this blog and post random pictures of my new life!

This is Praia D’Ulé (no clue why or what it means), about 30 min from where I live. I went there to a shooting of my cousins and his friends for a project they are working on and of course, I had to take some pics! This beach is great for surfing and one of my cousins surfs! It was quite cool the shooting! What a beautiful place! Great time with my cousins and friends!

By the way, I started my new blog! My art meets my life.

And I’m also on Instagram (artbycamila) posting some pics on the go!

God bless!!!

Day 365 – Peace in God

“I have told you all this so that you may have peace in me. Here on earth you will have many trials and sorrows. But take heart, because I have overcome the world.” John 16:33

 

Day 336 – One month later

“He marks out the horizon on the face of the waters for a boundary between light and darkness” Job 26:10

(Is hard to believe… A month ago I was taking a picture in Revere Beach, MA… Today I’m in Brazil in Jardim Camburi Beach… And I finally stepped in the beach… Even tough I’m in a tropical country, I haven’t been to the beach yet… This picture call tell you why. It has been raining a lot… The weather here is as crazy as New England weather… and on top of that we are still adapting… and taking it very slow… But this afternoon I just had to go there… It is indeed a beautiful beach and the sky was so dramatic creating a contrast between light and darkness…)

From Day 306 to Day 326 – Grace

Hello!! First of all, my apologies for disappearing for a little while… well, just 20 days… I’m glad that my project is about taking a picture everyday not blogging everyday…

So, I’m not sure how this post is gonna turn out… But there is one thing I want to make sure I say here… God’s grace is unquestionable… I’m sure that I was able to take the pictures because of His grace…

I’m gonna post this only verse for all the pictures except for Day 306: “See to it that no one falls short of the grace of God…” Hebrews 12:15a

It has been 20 days since I landed here… Is really hard to explain the feeling… very mixed emotions.. Is great to see my family but at the same time is as if they are strangers but in a good way.

The weather is not helping… it has been raining a lot.

I got sick. I’m good now.

The sun is brighter here.

Things here are the same but different at the same time.

You pass by places you used to go and it your memory pops out.

I’ve been home most of the time… some of the pictures is just from downstairs where we are staying or the porch of the apartment.

People here are very diverse… Like all different shapes, colors… is very interesting… and overall I sense that they are very relaxed and happy.

The beach is beautiful.

I’m adapting okay… It is not easy but I’ll get the hang of it!

Now I’m gonna go through the pictures and if I feel like I’ll write about them…

Makes more sense if you read from the bottom!

I’ll try to post more often!

God bless!!!

Day 306 (Nov 01) – Fly Balloon

 “Thus far theLord has helped us.” 1 Samuel 7:12b

This was my last picture in the USA… I’m glad that I was able to take it because I was planning this picture for my last day for months… It was a beautiful morning… I wanted to leave with this image in my mind… Combining balloon and the beach… 2 of my favorite things… Letting go of some stuff that holds me back…

Day 300 – Gorgeous sunrise

“Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.” Hebrews 4:13

(I always have this expectation when I go to the beach. I take the bus there and I always look for the moment where I can see it from far away. Today it was just way to gorgeous… The combination of orange, yellow and blue was just perfect… Today was definitely worthy waking up early and taking some time at one of my favorite places maybe for the last time…)

 

Day 264 – The dialogue…

“Then the Lord answered Job out of the strong wind and said… “Who shut up the sea with doors, when it rushed out from its secret place? I made clouds its clothing, and put much darkness around it. I marked the places where it could not pass, and set locks and doors. And I said, ‘You will come this far, and no farther. Here will your proud waves stop.’” Job 38:1, 8-11

Day 244 – Sand of the sea

“But you have said, ‘I will surely make you prosper and will make your descendants like the sand of the sea, which cannot be counted.’” Genesis 32:12

(I made to the beach this morning! It was so good to be there even for a short time!)

Day 213 – He is!

 ^“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” Revelation 22:13

(It was drizzling but I had to go there…)

Day 180 – Under the tree

Color and Theme Project: Week 9 – Color: Black – Theme: Worry

I claim this scripture to overcome worry:

“Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.” Psalms 55:22

(I spotted them weeks ago… I knew then that I would take a picture when the color for the project was black. They are just around the corner from my house. Is amazing how by taking a picture everyday you train your eyes to see what is in front of you! Aren’t they cute??)

Day 179 – A walk on the shore

Color and Theme Project: Week 9 – Color: Black – Theme: Worry

I claim this scripture to overcome worry:

“Why, my soul, are you downcast? Why so disturbed within me? Put your hope in God, for I will yet praise him, my Savior and my God.” Psalms 43:5
