Photography: A Passion

I've heard my Mom tell a story that when I was about 4 or 5 years old, I lined up some flowers in between a bench and took a photo. She says I was short so I could see it from that low. She'll say I had an eye for photography back then. Well I don't really know if that's true but ever since my Mom got a camera I was really interested in photography. And now it's my passion. It's been my passion all my life. God really knew my heart and how I needed a "camera" so, He saw it fit to Bless me with an iPad mini. I have no idea why He chose a filthy dirty, sinful human being, such as I to Bless but He did. I love capturing His beautiful creation that makes me wonder how anybody could NOT give HIM the glory for it all!
God loves to show off to me how AWESOME, WONDERFUL, POWERFUL, AMAZING, He is, that I am left speechless! He continues daily to show me how STRONG and MIGHTY He is and how I need to trust Him in EVERY area of my life. I sometimes forget that He is the one that has blessed me beyond measure. But I always remember His great love for me.
My family is also such a BIG blessing! I never before looked at my brothers and sisters and thought "Wow, they are so talented! I am so very blessed to have them as my siblings!". But, God has been opening my eyes and my heart so that I now cherish my siblings and parents. Just this year, my older sister, Melody, got a job in TN and my other sister, Faith, got married. So, I am so glad for all the memories I made with both of them! 
Cherish your family! Thank God for them! They will not always be there all the time. 
May God Bless you all, 
His Forever Servant,
