We love these guys!
(the perfectly planned photo bomb)
So grateful they were willing to be my first family for photos with my beautiful new camera. I'm one grateful mama! Here's to snapping many more happy family photos.... and even the hard, happy ones.
The name I've chosen for this photo love is Eb Stone, for the Ebenezer stones that mark the path, that form the landmarks on the journeys that the Lord leads and guides and provides for us to move forward in. Joshua taught the people of Israel, when they crossed through the Jordan River, (my paraphrase) "In the future, your children will look at these stones and ask what they mean. You'll be able to tell them all the wonders that the Lord wrought to bring you to each place, how each step was covered with His grace."
For our family, photos are our Ebenezer stones. "What do these stones mean?" They mean that though this family never planned to be on this continent at this time... though they never would have chosen this season... though they don't have a clue what direction they'll be heading next year: The Lord has brought them here. The Lord has kept and will keep them, and He never abandoned them, though recent months have been hard. The Lord is with them. And there is So. Much. Grace. in this story, in this family, in this season.
"Thus far the Lord brought us." May these photos, these stones, and these precious lives tell the story of His great, knowing, sovereign, powerful love.
