The Here & Now.

I awake in gratitude of you, 

Oh Lord.

My soul is content in knowing you love me

for who I am. 

Right here. Right now.

The Hands I Hold

I miss this:

These were some of my favorite moments during the two weeks of camp in Kenya.

At any point point of time in the day there would be at least one kid's hand in yours. 

This is love, and it is so simple.

Weddings and Things

Chelsie, my friend of 23 years, recently married her love, Jono. I had the privileged of taking photos at their wedding. Here are three of my favorites from that beautiful day.

Bela

Kelvin bought me a pit bull puppy last week. She brings so much joy (at times frustration: the potty training process) to my life. So cuddly and sleepy, growing by the day, she brings me new life and inspiration. I am excited to have her, train and teach her, and see what she teaches me along the way. She is my little love. <3
