Happy St. Patrick's Day!!! No matter how much I say I'm going to be prepared this silly day always manages to sneak up on me. You see in a moment of weakness I started these "traditions" that my kids have come to expect! I thought maybe they had forgotten or maybe it wasn't that big of a deal but this morning they were listing all the fun they expected when they get home from school! So my afternoon will include writing and hiding clues for a treasure hunt, printing pictures of Leperchauns and going to the store for green milkshake ingrediants. But never mind that...
So a week or so ago I asked you to thinking about people you might know that are going through a difficult time. Do you know a family that has been stuck by cancer or perhaps they have been victim of a tragic accident? Since starting my business, I have been so blessed to be able to meet some precious families who were facing some terrible life giants. First there was Ellie, a 3 year old diagnosed with a rare and aggressive form of cancer.
Ellie is 5 years old now and Praise the Lord, is currently in remission!!
About year ago, this precious little boy fell from a 3 story window, I can not tell you how honored I felt being allowed to photograph this little boy during the most frightening time of his life. Little Joshua is doing just GREAT!!! And it just makes me smile every time I see his cute little face in the hallways at church. Thank you, Jesus!
This past fall, I got to meet Melissa and her sweet family. Also fighting a battle with cancer, in late November she reported "each scan has shown dramatic regression of the tumor sizes"... I continue to pray for her full recovery.
God has richly blessed my photography business and I want to show my deep appreciation by giving back in some small way. So... here's the plan.
