Hello loves! This week’s post is really personal and I hesitated to share and only have a few. It’s not because I don’t want to share and those that know me, know I’m an open book. It’s just so fresh, emotional and a daily reality for me. Yet, my goal for Lens of Faith is…
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Sometimes as a wedding Photographer, I have a vision I want to play out, and the couple doesn’t initially get it. They start to feel a bit uncomfortable. It isn’t until I finish, then show them on my camera the creative shot, that I hear the “wows”. The same is with God. He sees the…
STRONG & COURAGEOUS
Do you ever sit back in amazement of God’s promises? I mean in a world of uncertainty, we have such certainty. From Genesis to Revelation he gives us constant assurance of the great God we serve. He is the ruler of the universe, yet he is working in every detail of our lives. One of…
SWEET TALKING IDOLS
Back in the biblical day, idols referred to large golden statues like a bull or calf or other gods. Such as buddhas that people worshipped, instead of the one true God. That culture in scripture doesn’t really apply to us now. In our modern-day, it is easy for us believers to think,” I don’t have…
ATTITUDE OF GRATITUDE
Yes I know, it is difficult to have a great attitude in our current day. As soon as we turn on the tv or check the internet, it confirms that our world is in desperate need of a Savior. Then having to reflect on personal challenges, can make it difficult to feel thankful. Chin up,…
PURIFY MY HEART
Growing up a church girl, I was never a David fan. I flat out didn’t like Him. The unfaithful, the murderer. He already had 8 wives, yet he took the only thing His most loyal servant, Uriah treasured. Furthermore, Uriah was the man willing to die for Him who would not leave His side, but…
PURPOSE DRIVEN FRIENDS
I love making new friends, in fact it’s always been easy for me. Friends of all different walks in life. From the adventurous water rafting and camping friend, the princess friend, the tomboy friend and the childhood friend. We naturally choose our friends based on interests, likes, personality meshes and similar seasons. For me, it…
NO MIDDLE MAN
Everyone that knows me, knows my love for Trader Joe’s. I’m always reppin’. Not only do they carry innovative, hard-to-find, great-tasting foods, but it’s also cost-friendly. Early on, I was amazed by how they were able to become so successful. I mean no matter where I go, coast to coast, the store is always packed…
TRUST WITHOUT BORDERS
I can hear you humming now..the catchy tune of Oceans. What a great song! It is fun to sing “trust without borders” but actually living it out, seems impossible. Without His grace it is impossible. You call me out upon the waters. The great unknown where feet may fail. And there I find You in…
HUMBLE CONFIDENCE
Unpacking my suitcase this week, I found a sweet love note from my 9-year-old niece. “Auntie Leelee (yes, it’s my nickname) you are a Princess AND a Super Hero.” I just busted out in laughter at how cute the note was and how much it touched me. Then it got spiritual, the Holy Spirit whispered,…
