Too many days in my life I feel sorry for myself.
I wonder if I could be smarter.
Run my business better.
Be a better mother, grandmother, friend.
Could I be a better wife? Oh yes.
Christian? How broken I am.
I indulge in sinful worry.
Not being faithful in my trust that He will provide and comfort always.
What a sad individual I have become.
Yes, I pray.
So, today in walks a young man.
Little do I know at that moment, I will remember Travis for the rest of my life.
He is only eleven years old.
I met him on Monday, but he was in a crowd and I did not really meet him.
Today, it was funny how he made me smile with the first true introduction.
A short 20 minutes later, I felt he was my friend.
His amazing humor, and very deep intellect let me open my eyes again to what is really important.
He looked into my camera with a determination I have seldom seen.
With a purpose to show someone special, that he is a very special person.
As I looked through the viewfinder, I saw a young man longing for unconditional love.
His pose was practiced and deliberate.
He just wants someone to give him a home.
Love him unconditionally.
We even joked and posed with his arms outstretched and begging, praying.
"Please sir, can you give me a home?"
I know nothing of his past life before today.
It is very obvious it has not been an easy eleven years.
Probably more eventful than I would ever wish to believe.
But he posed, smiled, begged, and I am sure he prays for a home.
One that is full of love. The unconditional kind.
He made me feel good enough for anything today.
It will take some time for me to forget again how blessed and spoiled I am.
Prayers are answered in the strangest ways.
Thank you Travis for transforming my camera and me today.
So, I keep saying I promise to do better and post something on this blog....then facebook came along...I do not post there either. Honestly I do not understand how people have time for this....but I really would like to make an effort to do better. Jen said I must post or get rid of the blog!! Daughters can be so bossy sometimes! I hope you understand that I can tease her about the bossy....because she gets it from me of course! So, if you do not know already, Jen is having another baby in February!! Phillip is having a baby too, we just give Jen a little extra credit. If this baby is as precious (and I know that will be true) as Drake then we will be just fine. We find out next week if it will need pink or blue booties! Can you tell that I am excited?! So I promise to depart with the information and post the news next week! Now I am committed. Stay tuned and enjoy one of my favorite images of our precious Drake!
We are having a ONE DAY ONLY Senior Special.
Please call the Studio for more details.
