Purpose and Passion
Lately, I get to meet some of God’s people and photograph them. It has been the kind of blessing your really can’t describe because you need to experience it yourself.
I have met a woman drowning in grief because her fiance was murder. I met another woman who survived stage three colon cancer. In spite of their circumstances, these people have continued to trust God. I appreciate being able to contribute to their lives.
God has placed people in our path for a purpose. Every time you think your story has reached its worst possible conclusion, God introduces you to someone who has it worse than you. If you are feeling down, look up. There is someone who needs your encouragement.
Every day of my life I get to remind people that there is beauty in this life God has created, whether in photos or videos or books.
God has called you to something. What passion has He ignited in your soul?
