Outside the Lens Photography, gardening, DIY...Im a jack of all trades. My main mission here is to spread the good news about Jesus Christ!

I enjoy the outdoors and making people smile. I'm here to combine the two and capture it. I would suggest clients bring up their own ideas to make it more unique for each client/family.

I notice patterns and this one wont leave my head. Moses, Elijah and Jesus all faced isolation. Sometimes willingly! Lets answer the question of why. It is very simple, to remove distractions to listen, reflect and hear God more clearly.

Isolation give you an absence of noise. An absence of someone guiding you away from your goal. I know, nobody likes to sit with their own thoughts and reflect on there shortcomings. These are the moments God wants you to lean on him. It softens your heart, humbles you, lets you face your fears with THE BEST shoulder to cry on. This is where you and God build trust, love, and most important... COVENANT.

Whether you walk with Jesus, fell off, or more like me with 40 years of wilderness before knowing the truth; he is with you. Not to harm you but to give HOPE and a FUTURE. With today's world, can you ask for more?

Now for the sad part. Salvation (being saved) is an individual responsibility. You have to want and seek it. You can be met with every truth but until you soften your heart and take accountability for your actions through God, you might just be where Satan wants you. Don't lie to yourself because its easy. Dig deep, get dirty and be set free!

Blessings on your day

Only if the world put as much energy and attention to fixing the world we live in as opposed to making an oasis online....
How about some r&d into the spiritual realm? Maybe our schools could start teaching actual skills for life. Please pick up a physical copy of the Bible. If there is one thing we can predict; Technology can go down at any time.

There is one thing you can count on, some brush it aside because it takes work. It takes change. It takes bravery and courage. Stop coming into agreement with people. Build covenant with our Lord and savior. Teach others the lessons you have learned!

Jeremiah 29:11-14
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back from captivity. I will gather you from all the nations and places where I have banished you,” declares the Lord, “and will bring you back to the place from which I carried you into exile.”

Instead of "Look what I did"
Not just words but the thought process should be "look what God helped me create" or "look what God created through me" or "look what the Lord put on my heart" Retrain your brain to love and your heart will follow.

I'm on a journey to find peace...true peace in my life. The more I pursue this, the more people (family and friends) take offense.

So, as a 42 y/o man who always wanted a large family, I had thoughts of "do I not deserve it" or "I could handle that blessing better than them"

I'll admit, it is not the way to look at things. We know nothing of what goes on behind closed doors with people if they never say it. Let me give anyone who might need some guidance to pay attention

#1 Be evenly yoked! My ex-wife wanted 1 child as I wanted 3+. In my head, she would eventually change her mind on this because I was showing her the world and putting her through college.

#2 Stop listening to the world. Bring it before God and don't move until he says to. Women being talked into waiting to have children is the biggest lie. Men; if you are looking to start a family, do not skip this. For someone who wanted a large family and didn't have his first child until 27. Lies from Satan.

#3 I was someone who was always very skeptical about drinking and didn't do it much. I come from a family of alcoholics. However, in my marriage, I found myself playing Xbox while my wife would go to the bars with friends/coworkers because I didn't want to go out. I started giving in and going because of others insecurities. I myself ended up an alcoholic. Over 2 years of no alcohol now, this didn't happen by my account. I gave in, I gave up being strong. I layed down my insecurities and problems to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

I SAY these things not to point fingers or blame. I say this in hopes someone can FEEL these words and make a conscious decision not to "go with the flow"

I have not lost faith in that family. It's just much harder now. Until people start talking about these things, they will undoubtedly repeat regardless of name or lineage. Every single one of our own families has struggles. They all look different! Some look like cyclones but may not be as bad as it appears, while others could show nothing to outside eyes but is a complete disaster.

These are the problems we should be addressing, not what our government tells us to. Satan runs this world, don't let him control your life as well.

We don't give up! This is too important to skip. WE ALL fall short everyday.

Choose love
Choose peace
Pick up your cross and choose God

LUKE 9;23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me."

Where God guides, God provides! Don't give up yet, it's close!

Are you tired of being fooled or treated like a fool?
Pray for discernment and wisdom!

Sometimes, we ask for the wrong things.

If you feel that God has given you a vision of something, how do you discern if it is He or your mind?

Boundaries are healthy
It stops things from disrupting your peace.

Lets break this down so everyone is aware what boundaries do for the person setting them.

If you set a boundary, you are showing everyone you know how you want to be treated and expect nothing less.
It helps you regain the power of your life and stop being a rotating door for world drama.

Boundaries come when you have had enough. God blessed me with being able to set boundaries and let go of ppl who dont respect them. This is a GOOD thing!

Now lets take a look at how the people who dont like your boundaries take it.

Offended, hurt, sad, mad, jealous, envious etc.
While these have nothing to do with the boundary setter, they are made to feel bad for it.

Let me share another way boundaries are used.

If someone keeps doing something to me or around me that I do not agree with, God Is making me set these things free. I am under the assumption that #1 God was waiting for me to stand up for myself. #2 all those feelings they get are actually conviction. You see, just being an "innocent bystander" does not excuse actions. Sometimes it brings conviction for not being brave, courageous or obedient for the Lord.

So to wrap this up, setting boundaries is good all the way around. The person setting them gets their peace of mind back, while the others might just be learning the lesson they are meant to. You see, it has zero to do with bad intentions or harboring bad thoughts. I pray for everyone! If you think I consider you an enemy, you are being played by the world.

Die to your ego to start living life.

The only love you need is from God.

Galatians 1:10: Am I now trying to win the approval of human beings, or of God? Or am I trying to please people? If I were still trying to please people, I would not be a servant of Christ.
