"There is a light that is shining so brightly on you and your family. Whether you know it or not, but you are an INSPIRATION to many people myself included. Stay grounded in your Faith and know that Our God has already worked it out. May God continue to Bless you and your beautiful family!"
I agree with you Jocelyn. Ever since I began photography I have been fascinated with light from the Sun... As if God is shining that light down in the exact place that I need it to light my subjects how I love it.... Amazingly he has been shining that light extra bright on my family...
The photos below were taken at a park in Bowie right after my dad finished his last radiation treatment months ago. I love them so much but never had a chance to post them. I would like to share them with you today.

On Monday while checking the mail I pulled out an envelope from Southern Baptist Church Praise & Worship Center addressed to my parents. I walked inside and handed it to my mom.. she opened it.... her mouth dropped and immediately she began crying as she read the letter that was included. Our very close friend (adopted sister) Katona told us that her girlfriend Tootie saw my dads story in the Bowie Blade and called her immediately. She explained to Katona that her fathers church would like to collect an offering and give to my dad for whatever he needs. 1 week later, my parents received a check in the amount of $1,000 from STRANGERS..... STRANGERS in the sense of never meeting us, but BROTHERS & SISTERS in the sense that they felt close enough to God and close enough to us to send such an amazing contribution to my father.
There are days that I can't help but wish I could sleep and wake up and my dad is OK... but I know there are things that I am learning through all of this. Those things are changing ME as a person and my outlook on the WORLD..
Thank to SO MUCH to Southern Baptist Church Praise & Worship Center, there are no words that can express our gratitude.
Minister Shawn Matthew Cook also stopped by on Monday. I am telling you, every single time that man comes to pray with my father, he feels so much better :) There IS power in prayer!
Thank you for your continued involvement in our lives "Shawn"!
