When I left my last ministry position before my current one, I didn’t know what was next. I was moving into a big unknown and it was scary. Some who had seen my photography work asked if I had considered wanting to be a professional photographer. There’s something intriguing about that but as I reflected on it, I didn’t want that to be what needed to happen to put “food on our table” so to speak. I wanted my photography to continue to be something that was more about life-giving for me (and also for others) and not something I felt pressured to have to “succeed” at. What I was coming to recognize about this part of me was that seeing and sharing these deeper things in the world, finding beauty, sharing creatively, inspiring gratitude, and so forth is at the center of who I am and that it could be integrated into the ways that I live and move and have my being in the world.
