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.

A drought followed by a downpour isn't ideal. But a blessing nonetheless.
James 1:12
Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him.

Protesting will get you thrown in jail.

Voting brings you into agreement with anything bad they do. Implied consent(with the permission you gave them by voting)

Speaking out gets you shadow banned or investigated.

Boycotting on the other hand hurts their pride and wallet.

This isn't the US anymore, we are all slaves to the government which happens to be owned by large corporations (who only care about money and power) They are the money behind the candidates in which they already came to agreement on what lies to tell.

Change is not created at the polls, its created with small choices everyday. How much fraud needs to be uncovered before you do not trust them? How many lies? How many scandals? How many lives have to continue to be ruined to keep this "war machine" going? How many more communities that are impacted by these huge new AI databases being built before you stand up? Corpus Christy's water supply is at 12% and summer heat isn't here. ATL has faced water issues as well showing us that these datacenters are more important than human life. It is extremely alarming how little news stations actually report a good investigation. Its all given to them often shown by the exact catch phrases across ALL major cable/mainstream news

Pay attention to what is happening in our borders. Then you may understand why they have to create a world show of chaos and lies to distract us. While in active war, normal channels of passing laws and exchanging money can be largely hidden behind the law.

For the most part I take things slow with a big focus on being slow to react and respond. This brings me the most peace and comfort. While also giving me a chance to process any information and come to an actual meaningful response.

Most people operate at a higher frequency than I do. I'm not going to tell you which is right or wrong. What I will tell you is how this impacts my life and why I will never let it go. I prioritize peace, my mental and physical health. If I start taking on this higher/faster frequency, it drains me. Something I have realized is that people in a higher frequency than myself often enjoy my company. It's a relief from what I am told. What I need people to realize is my social battery is on E.

Lifeguards, police, firefighters all are trained to help people in dire situations. They are also trained to take care of themselves first (not in a selfish way). If they can't do that, then they can't help others. For instance, if a life guard is helping someone who is drowning but they (victim) is too panicked and pulling the lifeguard under they both may drown. People now tend to think anything is a dire situation if it involves them.

Sometimes, people in life want help, but are too hard headed or close-minded to actually receive it (to include myself) I have also come to a point where I CANNOT endure a conversation that isn't speaking life and including God. By this I mean no uneeded negativity. If you arent trying to fix the problem and talk about that in a positive way, it turns into "trauma dumping". The other person unloads everything onto you (which I have endured willingly). They walk away lighter but I am left with all that trauma/drama. Not just in my mind, I take it on emotionally and physically. I expect to hear back and kinda wrap things up after some time. This never happens. I do this to close a loop that others want left open. Kind of like an open invitation to be treated however they want to. Or because they just wanted to unload it and leave you stuck with it because THEY feel better.

So I am a "come at me correct or not at all" kind of guy.

I'm good with isolation but others take offense. Possibly because I am "taking my ball and going home" God will have you go through these things to protect you and often to show others he has set you apart. Instead jealousy creates scoffing and slander. This is why I always say to read the Bible with your own eyes. When you have had enough of the lies, you should seek the truth. No more hearsay, no more "this is MY truth" no more "that doesnt fit my personal beliefs (often covered by someone to scared to face conviction and repentance). So unless and until people start taking accountability and sharing lessons to stop all the hate, absolutely nothing will change. Own your mistakes! I say this KNOWING the right people will eventually see it because a big majority of what I post was given to me by God.

I'm not giving up on life, rather the world. Perhaps this is what "losing your flesh" feels like.

Anyone else this way? How do you navigate socializing? If more were obedient, it would be a better right? Maybe not the whole world but to the ones who are actively trying to live a life with Jesus at the forefront.

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!
