Grateful for a steadfast love from my Father

Just wanted to share a few verses that have put a smile on my face tonight :)

Psalm 31:7-8 "I will rejoice and be glad in your steadfast love, because you have seen my affliction; you have known the distress of my soul, and you have not delivered me into the hand of the enemy; you have set my feet in a broad place."

Psalm 31:19 "Oh, how abundant is your goodness, which you have stored up for those who fear you..."

Psalm 31:23-24 "...The Lord preserves the faithful but abundantly repays the one who acts in pride. Be strong and let your heart take courage, all you who wait for the Lord!"

Psalm 33:22 " Let your steadfast love, O Lord, be upon us, even as we hope in you."

God's steadfast love is what carries me through the day... I am so thankful that He shows so much of it towards me and to all his children... His love for me is never changing... He is loyal in his love towards me, even when I struggle in my relationship with Him... He is more then good to me especially in my least times of deserving, He never changes..He never fails.. and He never will

I'm humbled. My hope is in you Daddy...

Awestruck by life

Ok..so the blessings seriously just keep coming.. I have done absolutely nothing to deserve everything and everyone God puts in my path.. If you had told me when I was 17 standing in the audience at a Building 429 concert in Knoxville that I would have the opportunity to photograph Jason Roy and soon be shooting in his studio I would of been like say what?? I didn't even know I wanted to be a photographer at 17.. If you had told me when I was 19 while being led in worship by the Daniel Doss Band at Crossroads on a monday night in Knoxville, Tn that in 3 years I'd be in Clarksville photographing the Daniel Doss Band and handing Daniel my business card, my mouth would probably of dropped.( i knew i wanted to be a photographer by that time). But when I figured out what I wanted to do in life those are the exact things I wanted, but I never really expected them to happen..they were just dreams..
But I'm standing here today able to say i've done those things and hopefully I'll get to do many more things like that. I am so blessed by the people that are in my life that bring me opportunities like that.. big shout out and i mean huge shout out to Brandon and Kara Reed.. They do so much for me in the ways of introducing me to people and giving me opportunities to photograph events, and just help me in so many more ways then they realize in achieving my dreams.. I seriously thank God for them everyday.. He has used them to bless me incredibly. I am affirmed everyday that I did the right thing when I decided to move to Clarksville.. I have made the most incredible friends anyone could ever ask for, I attend one of the most amazing Christ centered churches i've ever had the pleasure of stepping into, I have leaders that invest in me and the talent God has blessed me with, and I have been giving the most amazing opportunities I could of ever dreamed of.. I hope those opportunities keep coming, but even if they don't, God has an amazing plan for my life and whatever He puts in my path is exactly what I want, because He has the ultimate plan and He knows best...

My dreams are in Your hands Father...You know all things, and You know what's best for me... You know my hearts desires and my dreams and aspirations, I will go in the direction in which You lead me.. You have never given me reason to doubt you, I trust Your ultimate plan for my life is more amazing then I could ever imagine.. Thank you that right now the dream You have set in my heart You are fulfilling..

My portion is You God..and I'm more then blessed

Humbled beyond belief

I just spent a few minutes in utter speechlessness and tears and completely humbled by what Jesus did for me today... To be so loved that on that cross Jesus thought this is for Heather, I'm doing this for her...and of course everyone else in the world. But it's so special to me bc I know how undeserving I am. There are no words.. I can only stand amazed and fall on my face humbled..

So thank you God, for seeing me and turning your back on your son for my sake. I forever will spend my life giving all I have to You, and I know I can never repay what He did, I can't even begin to try. I am amazed how you designed it to where we can't give back, there's nothing we can do to earn Your love, You just love us. Lord, show me how to love You more. Thank you doesn't even begin to express how truely thankful I am..but I hope the way I live my life for you does.

I am humbled. broken. and beckoned by the cross to live a life of worship and with a constant pursuit towards the cross, and I will live this out for my King.


The precious blood of Jesus Christ redeems,
forgiven I’m alive, restored set free.
Your majesty resides inside of me,
forever I believe. forever I believe.
arrested by your truth and righteousness
your grace has overwhelmed my brokenness
convicted by your spirit, led by your word
your love will never fail
your love will never fail
‘Cause I know you gave, the world your only son for us to
know your name, to live within the saviours love and he took my place,
knowing he’d be crucified and you loved.. you loved, a people undeserving!
