Tonight was something. Something as in no other word really describes it. The spirit of the Lord was in Chapel. People gathered and the love was great. We came together, hearts heavy but present with mustard seed faith before a God Who is so much bigger. Is it enough to offer our broken lives to someone so great? No, but He accepts it. People worshiped Jesus and with hopeful hearts asked for His healing hand on a sweet boy who has had so much time stolen from him. My prayer is that God gives that time back and multiplies it. My prayer is that all this was not in vain but only to prepare this child to grow into a miracle warrior of faith, a living testimony of God's power touching every life he sees. God does not allow pain without something new being born (Isaiah 66.)
We never know what He is doing yet we just keep trusting that He is good and He loves us. And some days my eyes are closed. I pray that He helps me to see.

My favorite moments
I think I am consciously aware that I am unable to really live in the moment. I pray and try my hardest to absorb every second but it still feels like I am not quite present enough. I wonder that if some day I am going to deeply regret the very thing that is beyond my control or if I will embrace the photographs of those that are held so tightly in my heart.
This moment with Naava is forever etched in my mommy-mind. We had a girl's evening, pulling out all the girliest of things. We had tea and perfect toes (at least her's!) and polish all bathed in sunlight right there on the floor of the kitchen. I can still see her complete satisfaction with pulling out all the pretty colors and placing them out of the bag and back in. I long for that child-like entertainment.
I feel guilty when I don't manage to get some photos of them in a day because I know that is just another day I will never have back again, another day that they are older. I want to cherish every single day.

The Journey of the Rainbow
God is good.
I forget sometimes. With all the "you gotta do better" days and the "what were you thinking moments?" Being a mom is no joke when you're stuck in the wilderness. I feel like I have been wandering about for years...just praying for some fresh drink of water to quench this thirst. The need runs deep to be someone. To be something bigger than this. Too many moments, I have turned my face away from my identity, the one He gave me, The One Who saved me. I am so glad I am loved.
I fell off the business wagon for a while and forgot what I was made to do. I took an extended break but now is the time to move. I am ready to begin again and reach out and use my gifting. Brainstorming new ideas for business models has been a constant thing for me for the past few weeks. I am trying new things, taking chances, investing, building new friendships and letting go. Wait, letting go? Yes! I am letting go of fears and moving forward. I hope to meet other moms like me who just really need to be reminded who they are. My heart is to encourage others, inspiring a hope in them that something good is already happening.
Thank you for all who have supported me in this journey, read my words (as sparse as they have been) over the past five years. Thank you to all who have allowed me to share in their lives, photographing their sweet families. I love what I do. I am ready to do more. I am dancing around with the idea of offering photographic memberships which would allow you to have an opportunity for four shoots a year with me for one price. So, please don't be afraid to reach out and email me for more info on that. My goal is to put together a photo keepsake collection of memories (if that is a proper description) of the year for the families who sign up with me. I am excited about this but I am still working out all the details. Would love to talk to you.

I guess we will never really know what is or isn't at the end of a rainbow, but we will have a grand story to tell about how we lived and the people we loved along the way in searching for it.

All the little broken pieces
I've been in pieces for so long God, aren't you ready to me back together? Isn't it time to put them back together again? I l...
