Today I worked on images for a book project I am co-producing with a dear friend and true inspiration,
Angela Zieske. The ideas for this session were numerous and complex - in such a way that I didn’t expect
to pull them all off, but I like to go in over prepared.
Oh me of little faith.
I ought to have known that with Angela involved I would be reminded that nothing is impossible for God. For all of the locations we hit over the 5 hours, the light was perfect at all of them, the results were greater than the ideas, and every obstacle I felt sure we would face was merely prayed away. When I was sure there would be swarms of mosquitoes in the deep forest, we saw one. When I was fearful of bears, God sent butterflies (literally a swarm of dancing, flitting, twirling butterflies!) When I was afraid that the sun wouldn’t shine, He sent an abundance of glowy evening light that ended with a spectacular sunset. For every doubt that crossed my lips, Angela’s faith was certain. And God delivered.
Thought for the Day
When fears, doubts and uncertainties creep into my heart, I need only speak them to my faithful Father in Heaven. Trust does not come easy for me and often I find myself focused on the possibility of failure.
Today I learned a lesson in trusting God for the smallest of details.
We created well over 2000 images today in search of the perfect photographs to complete our book.
This one speaks of true beauty - not only in outward appearance but in Angela’s unwavering love and trust in Jesus.
Her radiance is a reflection of Him.
