WARNING.... THIS IS A VERY LONG, short version of this chapter in my life journey & how Love out Loud Photography was born!
Thank you for joining me on this Journey! Love out Loud is my Ministry for Empowering Individuals to Overcome the struggles we each face on a daily basis. Through Jesus Christ, being transparent, learning to love as Christ loves, we can overcome any obstacles that stand in our way!
You see a prisoner, I see deep seated emotions
You see a pr******te, I see hurt and abuse
You see an addict, I see pain
You see homeless, I see loss of hope
EVERY single person on earth has a story buried deep inside of them. Not everyone is given the same opportunities. If we come together as Christians, we could possibly love someone through their secret pain, hurt, abuse, trauma, grief, etc. We could encourage and empower each other to push through our fears and ultimately make choices that will enrich our life rather than make our pain greater by making decisions we normally wouldn't make, but due to our secret hurt & pain we loose self esteem, we loose our joy, our heart and soul..... then choose to make the wrong choices just trying to find our way or to bury our pain/trauma.
God CAN & WILL heal you! He can use your deepest pain and sorrow to help heal others going through similar situations. Some times, it takes knowing we aren't alone, knowing someone else has endured the same pains and has overcome.
Sometimes our pain/trauma is caused by others. Sometimes, we are the cause of our own pain and trauma, by making a stupid decision that has caused a great deal of pain, regret and insecurity. But no matter how the pain was incurred, we can still overcome, God will still show mercy, love and forgiveness!
Love out Loud started (unknowingly) about 7 years ago. God called me to speak through words and music to (ladies) and empower them to accept Gods great grace. At the time I REFUSED. I told God that what he was calling me to do was FARRRRR greater than what I believed I was capable of doing. (Insecurities)
However, January 2019, God started removing things from my life. At the time, I saw as horrific tragedies! Today, Jan 2021, I see clearly that he was removing things and people from my life that were a distraction. Distractions from my relationship with HIM! Over the past 2 years, I have been ( and not done yet) shattered by life events, however set still and quiet. I have been able to find who I am, know my value, my worth. I have been humbled, I have seen new things and I have CLEARLY seen how God is using each and every traumatic event in my life to open up my eyes and heart to the very least of these in our Community. To give them hope through my pain and show them how very real God is!
At the end of October, I released a very heavy load out of my life. A load I was basically obsessed with that was weighing me down heavily. Once I was able to release this load from my life, God started opening doors. The long Deep valley I have been traveling in for 2 years, started making some sense. I could actually see the light at the end. FINALLY, I could see possibilities of overcoming this valley.
In December, I was given (handed to me freely) an opportunity that I KNEW was only from Gods orchestrated plan! A new career path, a new friendship with what I consider a pure Angel from Heaven, a Co-ownership of a Photography studio / magazine publishing company & boutique! Moonstruck Photography Studio & Boutique, helped birth Love Out Loud Photography by Krissi. A new adventure, a new passion, a new platform to share, uplift & empower the lives I am given the opportunity to meet and possibly provide their Photography needs to! I am so excited to begin this journey and I pray each day about each new person I may come in contact with that can bloom and grow right along side of me. I cant wait to see how God uses each one of my circumstances to build up, enrich, empower someone else to Grow too!
Thank you for taking the time to read this LONG, yet very short story of my OVERCOMING TRANSFORMATION! Please be in prayer for me, Elizabeth ( my co-owner & friend), each life that may pass through us, our business growth, doors to be opened, dreams to become reality and hearts to ALWAYS love no matter what circumstances someone else may be in!
Love you guys & thank you for sharing in my journey!
