For the past week I have been feverishly pulling together a collection of my best images. The 4GB of RAM in my laptop has been tested and tried. A media blitz has hit the radio stations and newspapers of central Florida. Several photo labs have been tried and found lacking in the desired quality. Countless details have been worked over, and hopefully fallen into place. And right now 40 canvas wrapped prints up to eight feet long await their international debut at The Waterfront Inn at 8am tomorrow morning.

I am humbled by the realization that I could not do something like this on my own. I do not even have the money to print the images, much less pay for advertising, facilities, and the sundry other expenses that are going into this gallery. I am so grateful to those who are paying for this event, to those who have critiqued my work, and to those who simply believe in me when my own thoughts become dark and depressed.

I was talking with another friend last night about favorite scripture verses. There are a lot to choose from, but one of our mutual favorites was Romans 5:1 which says: Therefore, being justified by faith we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Tomorrow’s event has the potential to be my “big break” in photography, but it does not have to be because I have already had my big break spiritually. Someone has paid for me to have peace with God, and I really cannot ask for more.

Please pray for me, my sponsors, and this event. We will be on the floor from 8am to 10pm EST showing and selling pictures. Pray that God would bring a lot of people to the gallery. Pray that they would buy lots of images. And pray that God would continue to direct and bless my photography for His Kingdom.
