Kick boxin these walls down!

Uniqueness. Originality. Outstanding.

I know there are passions that the Lord has put in my heart. I consider myself a late bloomer in many areas in life. I catch the train right before it leaves the station...

For as long as I can remember I have always wanted to take pictures. I would walk around Pasadena, the Beach, Los Angeles, San Diego or pretty much wherever and could see a shot, a great picture in my head. What was I missing? The dang camera! lol.

Well that problem was taken care of last summer. After my mom and brother took me to a camera store and helped me pick out my very first camera :)

So thereafter, I started taking pictures. I love it~! I really do! Don't get me wrong, this has been a learning process and it will probably always be one. I'm still getting to know Betsy (My camera) Don't laugh. Okay, go ahead, but only a little. ;) She has many settings and I only use 1 or 2 to be honest. Maybe i'm intimidated. lol.

Well I want to burst down the walls of typical shots. More than a pose. I want to give a picture with meaning, a message. Something deep. Something with TRUTH.

I can see shots in my head but I don't know how to make it happen. I ask the Lord to give me wisdom and opportunity.

For meantime, I will keep doing photo shoots to learn how to manipulate my camera.

Here are some shots from my latest shoot. Enjoy!!

Lets be real.

Sometimes life doesn't exactly go according to "plan", right? Can we agree on that?

And when God is taking you through that situation or in some cases, SEASON of trial... It seems like life is ending, as though you are choking.

But man, when you are walking out of it, and you look back. You become WAY THANKFUL, and hopefully more Wiser and Stronger... (Thats my prayer at least..)

As I sit to write all of this down, I'm looking back on this last season that I am coming out of.. and saying to God, Thank you! WOW. I couldn't have gotten out of that funk without you daddy.

This last year has been insane. INSANE.

Without work, Car Accident that left me "temporarily handicapped" to put it nicely, Facing MAJOR heart issues that needed to be dealt with, Deception, Depression. I mean it has been totally crazy. But what could I do? The ONLY thing I could do is Hold on for dear life to Jesus and His promise and Love for me. Alot of people and things will leave when times are tough but God has always ben there, waiting for me to run into his arms.

This is a new season. A beautiful season! God is blessing. He is bringing opportunity. He is renewing, changing, growing and bringing beautiful gifts into my life that I am ever thankful for.

What Satan had intended for Evil, My Jesus is bringing it into my life for Goooooood!

I want to leave you with this.

"God is everywhere, He is at Target, He is at the Super market, He is at the Park and Disneyland.." - My Almost 4 year old Niece. She gets it. :)

God is good people. Even when were in the fire, being refined. He is STILL good. The best is yet to come.. Look for His face to kiss it.
