I leave Las Vegas tomorrow headed to Southwestern Photojournalism in Fort Worth. \u00a0I usually leave these shows wondering what I’m still doing this for!!?? \u00a0Not tonight. \u00a0Today I had a very meaningful conversation with a man whose photography I greatly admire, after getting to know the man behind the camera, I admire the ” man”, even more! \u00a0We have both experienced a similar physical fate, cancer. \u00a0As we talked we agreed that we both have walked away from it, thankfully, with a new lease on life and better understanding of why we are here! \u00a0The other day on my way to the airport to start this trip, Jim Haverstock, my dear brother in the Lord, shared with me that while he hated I couldn’t retire this year, that he could see my still being at Nikon, was opening important doors to serve Him, it was a prophecy. \u00a0The last few days I’ve known that to be true, and it has been confirmed by several deeply touching conversations with people I have long prayed for. \u00a0The miracles that are happening in their lives renews my deep belief that God is holding on to us with a firm grasp. \u00a0I’ve see marriages healed, people draw closer to an understanding of their soon coming meeting with our Heavenly Father, and friends that are coming to grips with a bigger role in this world than just taking care of ourselves. Jeremy Cowart came over to share how the class he had just done was about giving back what God has blessed us with, moments later I received an excited text that our dear brother Dave Black has just shared a powerful testimony on The Grid!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I got to reaffirm my love for a dear couple I know that have seen a miracle in their marriage and shared a story of God’s greatness! \u00a0Wow, do you want me to go on???? \u00a0O.K. \u00a0I’ve been in prayer for my friends that are coming to White, Ga for our His Light Workshop and I’m bursting with anticipation, God is really up to something, I believe in, and am expecting even more miracles! \u00a0It is the sweetest music to hear when my Father is at work in our world, changing the lives of people, opening our eyes to how much more we can be than the very little we have expected of our selves. \u00a0Please pray that my time in Fort Worth will be another bountiful harvest of praise, and souls for Him. \u00a0I serve at His pleasure, and He has rewarded me with getting to see His wonderful power, majesty, grace, love, and concern for us. When my jet takes off tomorrow I will have already been flying high for hours!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Tonight’s Prayer: \u00a0Dear Heavenly Father, thank you so much for letting me be a part of what you’re doing in the lives of so many people I love. \u00a0 Thank you that You have proven that just when we think things are beyond all hope, that’s when you bring hope, peace, and your undying, saving, Love. \u00a0Tonight I recommit my heart, mind, and soul to serving you, and you alone. \u00a0Thank you Father for loving me, and accepting me as your child, while undeserved, cherished! \u00a0 \u00a0Until I’m standing there looking in Your eyes, I will serve You! \u00a0 \u00a0Amen and Amen.<\/span><\/p>\n
