Peter & Gloria... and one of their small stories. :D

This was a fun wedding for a number of reasons outside of the wedding itself. (The wedding was great fun too, don't get me wrong. LOL. I never feel more alive than when I'm photographing a wedding.) First got to make the 7 hour drive out with an old house mate of mine, Daniel Cavanaugh. Then to top of the fun I had Rob Bennett as my assistant for the wedding day. It was fabulous! Rob was such a big help with my bags and lens, etc. and a constant support for me too. I couldn't have done it without him. He really helped the day go smoothly. Thanks, Rob!

So I'm taking photos of Peter and Gloria in this more or less relaxed setting in their sweet vintage get-away-car and I look down and see Peter's thumb start rubbing gently on Gloria's hand. It was so sweet. Then I look up to see... (See below)

... This smirk come across her face. It was so sweet! These are the moments I get to capture and save forever. I LOVE MY JOB! These are the types of things that stick me as something AMAZING!

Signs and humility

There is something totally humbling about seeing a sign and obeying it. It doesn't have to be a sign, it could be something simple like a sheet of music, a recipe, a simple system at work that your employer would have you to follow exactly. Yet what is it in us that drive us to WANT to do just the opposite of the quiet prompting of that small sign?

Signs can offer advice.

Signs can warn us of danger.

Signs give us direction.

Signs are easily made fun of... and yet they are there for a reason.

And this picture shows my point better than all of the others. As I was getting ready to write this post I was trying to remember all the pictures of signs I've taken over the years and this one came to mind right away. I'm amazed at how I'm obviously even pushing hard with my finger.

I want to share something with you all that really has blessed me as I'm going through some things in my life that I read from a book that my best and dearest friend gave me sometime ago. 

"Today, as your heart seeks the lowly place, humility will move your toward everything that is good and away from everything that is evil. Humility is the pathway of every servant's journey. Humility is the road map that guides you to God's unconditional love, and it is the sign that points you to the vast treasure of His abundant grace.

Humility allows you to see your weakness and embrace God's strength; it allows you to see your insufficiency and embrace His righteousness; it allows you to see your lack and embrace His supply. 

Humility is the place of freedom where your spirit soars, where your love is perfected, and where God's richest blessings abound. Rivers never run from the valley to the mountaintop, but they always seek the lowest place, the place of least resistance. Today, as your heart is yielded to the Lord in humility, the river of the Holy Spirit will flood in and fill you to overflowing with peace, and flow out through you to bless the lives of others."

I Peter 5:5
Likewise, you who are younger, be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for “God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble.”
