Thought provoking…

Sometimes movies can be very thought provoking, deep and driven movies can leave you with a sense of knowing more then you did before. They can invoke change and can invoke hostility. Sometimes they just invoke a release from the troublesome world we live in, a little mind numbing humor. I recently watched Evan Almighty, the movie was good not great but one bit of dialogue really got me thinking so here it is. Morgan Freeman as God: “Let me ask you something. If someone prays for patience, you think God gives them patience? Or does he give them the opportunity to be patient? If he prayed for courage, does God give him courage, or does he give him opportunities to be courageous? If someone prayed for the family to be closer, do you think God zaps them with warm fuzzy feelings, or does he give them opportunities to love each other?”, this line really got me thinking. So many people pray for God to fix things but they don’t see that God is giving them the strength and opportunity to create the change. I have been as guilty as anyone of sitting back praying for God to create the change for me while not realizing that the whole time he was creating opportunities for me to make a meaningful life for myself with his help. DON’T LET THOSE CHANCES PASS, FOLLOW THE PATH!

Matt and Sarah’s wedding…

I shot Matt and Sarah’s wedding over the weekend. I had such a great time and feel so blessed that they let me celebrate their special day with them. I want to tease all of you a little and let you in on one of the photo’s, I love Sarah’s look in this image.

Through my eye’s…

In this new year I just want to thank all of you who have supported me and my vision. 2007 and the beginning of 2008 has been one of the hardest times I have ever been though and without your love and support I don’t know if I could have made it though. I lost a part of me and the love of someone very special that I don’t know if I can ever get back and it effects me to this day, I have memories that create very rough days at times but i keep my faith that God has purpose for me and my future. I just give you one piece of advice as we head into the future, do not leave anything unsaid. Embrace your feelings and needs and make them known. Look at your mistakes so that you can learn from them and never regret. Speak your mind and never be afraid of what you want most because with fear you can lose everything, and never give up hope. Dream’s come at no expense except when you have dreamt your life away. I love you all and hope that this year brings you all great happiness. I leave you with an image for the future and hopefully gives you hope. It is a spiral of light mimicking the spiral of life, let that spiral of life be a gift and embrace it for it is to precious to ignore.
