Gratitude- The story of my Camera.
I wanted to share the amazing way Papa God provided the camera I currently use for my photography.🙂
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. 🤔
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. 😮🤗
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.🤔😏 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.🙏 And I also talked to my Papa about my dream camera.💭📷 "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.😌 I'm just gonna trust You to provide the best camera for me at this time in my life. Amen."🙏
Some time later, I received a box at work... When I opened it... It had a lens in it and some other accessories.🙃😮🤔 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? 🤭(Meaning a 35 mm digital SLR)
The next day or so... another box arrived and in it was my new SLR digital camera!!😁 A Nikon D90! The one that I use now.😊 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!☺️
This gentleman and his wife purchased this camera and the accessories without knowing, from me, what kind of camera I wanted! 🤭 So my Papa, out of His, love for me, orchestrated the whole thing!❤ He put in their minds the gift He wanted to give me through them! ☺️❤️
Isn't that cool? 😁
That's the story of my Camera. 😊
