Less than 2 days...

So I am hoping to blog a little more often now - especially since I do not have a job lined up! But I want to share life and photography, so I will try my best. I am also hoping to put only photos I take on here - meaning if I am describing something, I will just take a photo!

In the midst of packing and my room and hallway being a complete disaster, I decided to post!





Christina and I will be packing up our stuff on Wednesday in a U-Haul trailer and jumping in our cars on Thursday morning to begin the trek down to Florida - probably around 7am, which as most of you know is my "favorite" time of the day. Nick's family has been gracious enough to let us stay in their home in Savannah, GA on the way down. We are very excited, very anxious, slightly scared, and a whole number of other emotions about leaving Virginia and arriving in Florida. Lots of change!! But God has provided thus far, and we have faith that he will only continue to provide.

This passage came to mind: Jesus speaking at the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew 6...

(Photo is of NIV, text on blog is ESV)
²⁵ "Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? ²⁶ Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? ²⁷And which of you by being anxious can add a single hour to his span of life? ²⁸And why are you anxious about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow: they neither toil nor spin, ²⁹yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. ³⁰But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which today is alive and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith? ³¹Therefore do not be anxious, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or 'What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?' ³²For the Gentiles seek after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them all. ³³But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. ³⁴"Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.

So we are trusting in God for his continued provision, knowing full-well all that he has provided for us in the past, and the number of undeserved blessings as well. Please pray for us!

My co-pilot on the trip down will be my camera and my walkie-talkie (that's what they're called, not 2-way radios) haha. Hopefully that helps the trip go a little faster since we are driving in two cars!



It's certainly not as beautiful as Christina, but it will sound just like her! I'm excited to share photos and stories from our trip!

Oh and here are the things that have poured into the hallway...haha

Gathering City Wide Service

The Gathering had its annual City-Wide worship service and community night - bringing together college students from American University, Georgetown University, George Mason University, and University of Maryland. Over $1000 was raised for The Gathering's partnership in Haiti.


Favorite photos from the service...
