Because there are stories in every single day, I keep my eyes open.
Because moments can’t be recreated, I pray to drink them all in.
Because our stories are the stories that might bring life to new stories, I narrate transformation and hope.
This month, I’ll share 31 images that have brought hope to me. Images like this one, taken in a mud hut in Kenya. Our priority was to learn about life for a single mom and her kids in the African bush. Her priority was to give us refreshment on a hot summer day with sodas and some crisp biscuits. Her offering was sweet communion to us. Sweet humbling common union.
This month, you’ll see my heart as I show you the hearts of others who have entered my world. I’ll shoot like a girl for you. I’d love to know how these images impact your story.
