I've been doing photography for almost 3 years now. I had been striving for a long time to find a way to honor God through my photography. And nothing seemed to come to mind.
But God always has a plan and when you give it to Him, He will show you the way and open the doors.
Last December, I was listening to a song on the radio. "One Last Christmas" by Matthew West.
And wow did that song hit me. Hard.
(You can listen to it here)
I immediately knew how I could serve God through my photography.
Taking photos for families who have children dying from leukemia.
To give them what may be their last moment together, captured in a photo that can be kept for years to come. To spread the love of God through it.
I have been praying that God will open the doors for me to do this. I would like to start this summer and I'm excited to see what God has in store. :)
Lord willing, I would like to call my 'organization' (or whatever it is) 1 Peter 4:10
It is a super powerful verse to me. "Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms."
God has given me the gift and opportunity to do photography, and I want to use it for Him.
God Bless everyone!
I hope and pray that the Lord greatly blesses you, and others through your work with the families :)
