Yes, Lydia gets the creativity award! I so appreciate people who think outside the box and find a different way to illustrate the same concept. For this one, the vote was to go with the machine roller compactor machine but thank you so much for participating.
Looking forward to next time,
EstherFebruary 5, 2019 at 5:41 pm #36860EstherModeratorThank you all!
These look really good, in fact, we were very close to using the blessingscaptured’s lighthouse with the rocks in the foreground.
Hopefully, our next assignments will be of more common objects. Thank you all for even considering this out-of-the-ordinary picture request!
Looking forward to next time,
EstherJanuary 17, 2019 at 3:08 pm #36373EstherModeratorThank you all so much for contributing pictures!
I would much prefer to use your work than pictures off some stock site, however, I also need approval from the editing team and sometimes we do lean toward choosing other pictures that we find. Real world competition, right? Though I must say that if I’d seen the edited version of @elianafranzenburg‘s photo a day or two earlier, I would have chosen it for publication. Beautiful work! I’ll try to more specifically describe what we are looking for at the beginning of assignments in the future.
It is a blessing to work with you all, and I look forward to the next time!
Gratefully,
EstherJanuary 8, 2019 at 8:08 am #36061EstherModeratorI just got some feedback from the editors who said, “I think what we want is a picture where the snow is clean and white, without fences or trees showing through very much.” I see where they are coming from since it is an illustration the point that our sins are washed white as snow. Anyone have more of a field or hillside covered in undisturbed snow?

August 21, 2018 at 11:55 am #33078EstherModeratorHi everyone! I’d like to announce the winner of the photo contest! Drumroll, please!!!
Thank you all for your creative concept ideas and excellent contributions! The curriculum editors decided that the picture we should use to illustrate “willfulness” is the Frazer’s donkey picture! Congratulations!
Again, many thanks to you all and your pets for your participation. 🙂

August 1, 2018 at 10:57 pm #32677EstherModeratorWow! These are really good! Thank you! I’ll ask the other writers and will let you know which one we decide to use. Thank you! 🙂
July 23, 2018 at 7:06 pm #32311EstherModeratorP.S. No animal cruelty allowed in the photographing of this picture, please. :/
July 23, 2018 at 7:02 pm #32310EstherModeratorHey! I have an announcement to make! Drum roll please…
The decision has been made. We would like a picture of an animal willfully pulling against a leash/guide rope! For an example, see the first picture on the Frazer Family’s post. 🙂 The picture entered that best illustrates the painful fight against the peace of obedience wins the prize. Think strong-willed, rebellious, and stubborn. Does anyone have a donkey? Not that it has to be.
It’s looking like we will just want the one willfulness picture. IBLP already owns a picture we will possibly use for the obedience picture.
Thank you all! I can’t wait to see your photos!

July 20, 2018 at 12:39 pm #32214EstherModeratorYou got it, Lydia! If you all shoot a concept that us writers/editors have decided to use, it is more likely your picture will be chosen. Let me try to get that decision to you ASAP. 🙂 In the meantime, feel free to keep brainstorming. I’m going to add the calf pulling away from the lead rope to the ideas I’ve given to the writers/editors, that’s really good!
July 17, 2018 at 12:33 pm #32126EstherModeratorWow! I’m so encouraged by each idea and all of this brainstorming! Thank you!
My thoughts so far:
I like the ideas that have a positive connotation with obedience and a negative feel for willfulness. This was accomplished in the safe intersection picture for obedience and a wreck for willfulness. It shows the danger of just doing whatever you want instead of obeying rules. For this reason I also like the fence idea. Especially if there was a danger outside the fence, like a cliff. An animal safe on the inside for obedience and an animal in danger on the outside. Though I realize none of us probably live next to a fence on a cliff or want to put our pets on the dangerous side of the fence! :O I also like a green bean plant growing up a string productively bearing flowers and beans vs. a willful bean plant dying on the ground stomped into the dirt. (Now nobody ruin your garden over this picture. OK? 😉My comments make it sound like I like the two pictures to relate to each other, but they don’t really have to. Once we put a Bible picture for “security” and money picture for the opposite and they didn’t really relate to each other. It’s kinda cool when they do though.
Good question about horizontal or vertical. Either way or square is just fine. 🙂
You all are so kind to be willing to throw ideas out there! Even unused ideas are helpful because they inspire other ideas!
I’m going to ask some of my fellow curriculum writers what they think of the ideas you’ve suggested so far. Let’s keep brainstorming while we wait to hear back from them.
Gratefully,
Esther -
