I never got a chance to finish my thoughts on my trip to Mexico that I started there at the coffee shop in Texas about a week ago, and as I’m waiting on my other computer to run updates and restart, now seems like the perfect time. My thoughts (which you can read a few entries below this one) in Texas stuck with me for the remainder of the trip, and as so many things seemed to circle around back to where they began, it was nice to sit back and reflect on what God has done this past year. Just over a year ago I left the country for the first time, searching for something. I had no clue what I was searching for, and I didn’t find it right away. But I got a start. Now a year later I can look back and remember sitting there in that coffee shop at the end of a very memorable trip, and smile knowing the bigger picture of what that meant in my life. What’s great is there’s an even bigger picture that I’m right in the middle of and can’t even begin to see the ends of! I am still (and will be for a while) digesting everything that’s happened recently, so I apologize if this entry seems vague or fleeting. There have been many big changes in my life in the past months and even days…and many more to come. God is good and I’ll be sure to keep constant updates on here about what’s going on in Birmingham with me, photography, the church and of course Bedouins. Thank you all for your support, your interest in what’s happening in my life and for being there for me always. You’re all very very much appreciated! One last note…I changed my mind and decided to post this image from Mexico…this was the family that I spent my time with there, and you’ll all get to hear their story soon…but for now here’s the kitchen as dinner is prepared:
