Favour Vs Luck Wed, Nov 1, 2023 (12:23am) Bennu Coffee Shop

I don’t believe in luck but I do believe in Gods Favour. I had been chilling in the parking lot of Starbucks reading my Bible before I got the work day started. Rain and grey clouds decorated the sky. My body exhausted because I didn’t get enough sleep the night prior. I snoozed for a bit in my Camaro. I’d drift awake ever so often to only to see a new car parked in-front of me. I wonder if some people were worried about me. I was drooling! Haha I wake up and to my surprise their is the BEAUTIFUL GREEN Alfa Romeo. Its owner gets out around the same time I do. & we begin engaging in small talk. Felt like I knew the man. Kent was his name. I asked if I could take some pictures of his car and surely enough he was down for the cause. I had couldn’t help put to also take a portrait of him. It was a moment that once again spoke to me about Gods timing. I’m always looking to come across beautiful moments and this was one of them. Was I lucky? No. Gods favour is more of the term Id like to use. I run into to many beautiful moments like this. It’s BEYOND luck if you ask me.

Holding On Mon, Oct 23 (7:16pm)

Holding on to my wife with a simple hug is a reminder of the love I almost let go. Before my wife and I came together I was intensely afraid to hold on to commitment. It was actually a deep fear of mine. Never did I ever believe i’d get the opportunity to embrace marriage, simply because I thought i’d never try love again. Holding on to my best friend was only possible because God allowed it. God gave me strength. The way my wife held on to me and our friendship ignited something in me. Why does this woman love me so much? Why does she care? Is this love real? The Lord revealed to me that her love was in fact real. This meant that in order to receive the gift of my wife I had to overcome my fear of commitment. This meant I had to give God my doubts and past pain and develop a new layer of faith. Holding on to my wife reminds me that God truly does the impossible. In the areas we are weak He truly does become our greatest strength. Thank You Jesus for allowing me to Keep Holding On.

 Weight of the World! May 1, 2023 (1:36am)

This image pretty much describes how life has been feeling. It feels as though im holding something up that i’ve never had to hold before. The intensity of the weight has broken me several times as i’ve attempted to carry it. Only to be reminded that this new profound weight was never meant for me to carry. “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” 1 Peter 5: 6-7. Lately i’ve been reminded that in order for me to truly stand up and become all God has designed me to be, I need to give Him the things that are out of my control. Giving God my anxieties and problems has freed me up to experience peace. While experiencing this peace, I find that I can truly hear Gods voice clearly, I can see the Lords signs. Giving my problems to God has gifted me with a new energy for life. No longer will I attempt to hold on to things beyond my capacity to lift. Also photocred goes to my beautiful fiancé, who by the way is another person who God sent my way as a Gift that’s been helping me hold this new weight up. Everything doesn’t need to be done by ourselves.

This image is actually a gift to me. It represents an experience that would have never been captured had decided that I was just going to stick to my routine.Routines are great but if your looking to find some true Joy in your life, some spontaneous experiences are essential. I’ve learned that I never know who i’ll meet what image i’ll capture, what i’ll learn etc. Im always seeking opportunities to stretch my comfort zone. I’m also always intrigued to meet new people. An elder in the old school car community insisted that I go inside his car and take a picture! So with the remaining battery left in my Canan Eos Rp I did just that!

Thinking about a picture I just ran across! Let me share it with you.

I remember when my beautiful fiancé came to visit me for the second time from Chicago. It was a special experience where we had the opportunity to get to know even more about each other. Still having those awkward observation moments where you just analyze the other person. lol funny enough, I know my fiancé was observing me closely, because I am one strange individual. I do things in an unorthodox manner. One can only imagine what was going on behind her sweet smile! This photo reminds me of when we went on a food hunt to secure thanksgiving food for my family. Austin is HUGE on food trucks. Some of the most delicious delicacies that your tongue may ever connect with will have come from a food truck in Austin, Texas. This day I saw the gray cast of clouds in the sky producing a soft box texture on everything light touched! We just so happened to be by this awesome grey food truck reflecting Gods light back to us so elegantly. I rushed to tell baby to stand over there and pose! A shot had to be captured. Without much hesitation because my fiancé is always ready to take a picture she hops on over to the stands. Hands on the jacket to let us know she’s been here before and SNAP!
