Your previous post made me think alot. How often do we wrap ourselves in this world and forget about how beautiful God's creation is and how its beauty is glory to Him! That conversation you had with that women is probably something that everyone fights with inside. "I love this thing, but that isn't practical in the world today, therefore I can't do it" Well, dang it, God gave us that love to glorify Him, and the world is making us believe it is worthless. Ugg, sometimes I wish the world was something I could punch. You are still in our prayers.
BEN! Hello good friend. It is obvious to me that you are having a great impact on these people. Other groups are inviting you to come and speak with them, your conversation with that young woman- God is using you in so many ways right now! that is inspiring. I know that i had been in the same situation as that young lady, my parents are all about me being successful (you know the standard, do better than we did) but God has but a desire in my heart (that won't make me successful by their definition), and I need to seek after that in order to truly worship Him with my life. Your beauty post was a goood one. I think I have been blind to some of His beauty that you described, but now I am excited to notice that kind of stuff. I'm excited to see you again, but at the same time your work over there is so great that I wish it didn't have to stop. Oh and yes, good photography skills Ben! -Lp
