Gratitude- The story of my Camera.
I wanted to share the amazing way Papa God provided the camera I currently use for my photography.๐
Many years ago now, when I first moved to Berrien County, I worked at Life Action ministries. Since it was a ministry, one would have supporters, prayer, financial or both. I would write ministry update/prayer letters to my supporters monthly, if I remember correctly. ๐ค
This one month, I wrote asking prayer for wisdom as I researched 35mm cameras, since my point & shoot camera had broken; these letters were mostly sent via email.
This is one gentleman responded, saying, he and his wife would like to buy me a new camera. Of course, I was shocked & thrilled at the same time and thanked him profusely. ๐ฎ๐ค
He said, something about you're welcome, we're glad we can bless you... however, he didn't ask me what kind of camera I wanted and I didn't ask him if he wanted to know. I'm not sure why I didn't ask him that... something or rather some One had stolen my written voice, and I left it alone.๐ค๐ However, I did pray to my Papa God and asked Him to help me be grateful for whatever I received since I had no idea what would come.๐ And I also talked to my Papa about my dream camera.๐ญ๐ท "Papa you know my passion for photography You know my dream camera what I've always wanted, and will never be able to afford. I have no idea what these people are gonna buy me and I'm just thankful for whatever I'll get.๐ I'm just gonna trust You to provide the best camera for me at this time in my life. Amen."๐
Some time later, I received a box at work... When I opened it... It had a lens in it and some other accessories.๐๐ฎ๐ค Puzzled, and excited trying not to hope but failing. I shared what was in the box with some friends at the ministry saying,"Do you think Papa God's giving me the camera of my dreams? ๐คญ(Meaning a 35 mm digital SLR)
The next day or so... another box arrived and in it was my new SLR digital camera!!๐ A Nikon D90! The one that I use now.๐ It was more than I could ever have imagined or dreamed of at the time! Amazed that
Papa God provided exactly what I had always wanted without me actually asking for it!โบ๏ธ
This gentleman and his wife purchased this camera and the accessories without knowing, from me, what kind of camera I wanted! ๐คญ So my Papa, out of His, love for me, orchestrated the whole thing!โค He put in their minds the gift He wanted to give me through them! โบ๏ธโค๏ธ
Isn't that cool? ๐
That's the story of my Camera. ๐
