Beautiful Raven
I was given the opportunity to meet someone that I truly admire. This young lady has been fighting for her life for quite some time now, as she was diagnosed with cancer. When I met her I was completely amazed with her beauty, but even more amazed at how her smile could light up even the darkest night! This young lady walked with strength and happiness. This was not what I was expecting.... just before our photo shoot, Raven had been pretty sick and was having some trouble with her liver. I was prepared for a very tired and sick girl. After meeting her I was wonderfully surprised to see a strong, determined, and very happy young lady who I believe could have even ran laps around me, not to mention VERY photogenic!!!! I have to say, there are so many of us that let the small things get us down. My goal is to be more like Raven (who I called Super Woman as we were sitting and talking around the campfire, and still believe she may very well be). If cancer can't get her down, then why should we let a few minor kinks in the road get us down? Stay strong Raven, we are all so very proud of you!!!!
Are You Second?
Hello friends,
Ok, I know that this is supposed to be a blog about photography, but we said in the beginning that this thing could include anything. Rambling, photography tips, gear tips, muses about our life, recent photo shoots, or just something that's on our mind. So here's another post about something that I can't get off of my mind :)
Recently I heard an advertisement on the local Christian radio station that I listen to about a website called I Am Second http://www.iamsecond.com/. After some delay (otherwise known as distraction) I finally hit the site and was amazed at what I saw and heard. The basic premise revolves around mostly celebrity figures, their past struggles, and ultimate conclusion that a happy, fulfilling life revolves around God being first and self being second. Some of the videos are touching, others will absolutely amaze you. I have linked to one below featuring Brian "Head" Welch formerly of the rock group Korn. For those of you who don't know, Korn has been around for some time and is certainly not known for conveying a Christian message in their music. The majority of it is the usual mainstream rock stuff; disobeying authority, drugs, and alcohol among other things. This video amazed me as it shows how God can truly use "the least of these", the one's you would never suspect, to deliver His message. And this individual certainly has the testimony to deliver a special message to some who normally would turn their head when confronted with God, Jesus, and the church. Enjoy, go to the site, watch the other videos, and then ask yourself who is first in your life...Until next time
God Bless,
Michael & Sheena
