The Past Few Months

A lot has been happening with me for the past few months, but I haven't really had the chance to write about it until now. God has really been moving in my life in incredible ways and I am so excited to see what is going to come out of all this.

A couple months ago, I was doing a project on the photographer Dorthea Lange. This incredible lady kindled a passion in me.. she said this:

"While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permits us to see."

This kindled a burning desire to show people what they wouldn't normally be able to see through a picture. I want to show culture, passion, desire, and emotions through one single frame. I began to conveniently run into people who have the same heart as I do, and I was deeply encouraged by this. The passion never left.

Finally, one night, I was laying in my bed and I prayed for Christ to give me an opportunity to branch out and to try out this idea He has placed in my mind. I prayed specifically for a mission trip through the church i could go on. Literally the next day, an application to go to Malawi was placed in my hand. I will be obedient.

I believe Christ wants me to go there, but in order for this to occur, I must raise about $3,000 by mid-may. I am only SLIGHTLY freaking out, but the fact is that if i am really supposed to go, God will make a way for me to get there. Please be praying for patience and peace on my part. The lyric "My God is the God who provides" continues to play throughout my head and I just need to continue to believe it!
