I spent the evening at Avonlea Acres, shooting portraits of Kathy, Vanessa, and Sadie for our Ashes to Beauty multimedia piece.
Kathy and I spent the most time together. She is an amazing and stalwart woman who is learning from mistakes, finding joy in her position as a child of God, and blossoming into a beautiful woman. At 4 months pregnant, Kathy is doing her best to learn what it is to be the mother that she knows she can be - and in the power of God.
I think few people could have the resilience she's had. When life falls apart and there's no where to go, when all hope seems lost...even there grace is found.
Kathy is a testament to that.
This is pretty much amazing, Tina. I'm so proud of you for doing this.
I love you Christina! Watching that video reminded me SO much of you and your enthusiasm. And who wouldn't like their pictures you took of them?? If ever I have the opportunity...ok, you actually took my shot for IPS name tags and that is one of my most favorite pics of me ever. =-)
Besides, I think this is a really amazing opportunity you have here. God bless you for doing it, and may He give grace to accomplish it.
beautifully inspiring. I am in awe.
