Through the Lens of Worship - Week 2

This last Saturday was a TTL of Worship photo outting.  Typically Rhonda, Diana and myself get together once a month to take photos together somewhere locally.  Unfortunately Diana was not able to join us this time around.  Rhonda and I went to two TOTALLY different places.  It was tough to choose a photo for today as I didn't really capture anything that illustrated the verse I had shared with Rhonda on Saturday, and I don't really have something on file that would work either.  I've been going through some trials and Isaiah 43:2-5 were some Scriptures I'd really been holding onto.  BUT... I spoke to my mom yesterday, she encouraged me and shared with me out of Psalms 16.  After we got off of the phone I looked it up and was totally inspired to do something completely out of the ordinary.  I really don't care for doing much post-editting, but I am pleased with how this one turned out.  The photo, for me, illustrates the verse.  So why not put the verse on the photo??  I added these to the Scriptures I'm holding onto during this time.  I know God is faithful and I am so blessed to be His child.

There are a lot more photos from the outting that I will put up later in a separate post.

FEATURED: Through the Lens of Worship

What a blessing!  My entry for Through the Lens of Worship - Week 1 was chosen as the featured blog post.  I am so glad to be a part of this group and the relationships that are growing from it as well as the way God is using it.  You can see my entry here on my blog and on Through the Lens of Worship. 

If you are a photographer, I encourage you to check out what we're doing and consider joining us.  We'd love to have you!  This Saturday we'll be getting together for fellowship and to discuss what God is doing in our lives and then heading out to take photos together in worship of God.  You don't need to live in Hanford to join us!

Through the Lens of Worship - Week 1

I cannot express how exciting this is!!  Welcome to my entry for Through the Lens of Worship - Week 1!  This is my entry for our first week as an official open community of photographers.  I'm thrilled to see how God is going to use this group. 

My husband and I recently went to Lake Havasu City, Arizona for an Adam Allen Photography Senior Graduate photo shoot.  We were thrilled to be hired out of state by someone we didn't know already!  (We get thrilled for those who know us and hire us out of state too... believe me!)  Anyway, one of the first things I noticed was the scent of chaparral in the air.  It is very distinct and reminded me of my grandmother.  She introduced me to using medicinal herbs and this was one of them.  It was not the best tasting tea ever, but the memory of it is a good one.  My grandmother also introduced me to the most important thing in my life... Jesus Christ.  God used her in prayer and influence to bring me to Him.  She passed away not too long ago, leaving behind a legacy that I desire to continue and am excited to see other family members also doing the same - whether consciously or not. 

Her legacy and my life's goal:  To follow hard after Christ Jesus and to show Him to others by being an example in Word and in Truth. To pray always for those who've yet to come to know Jesus and for those who already know Him.

"A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another; as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another." John 13:34-35
