Jesus dreams and Africa and everything I need to make it all happen

I’ve been fervently praying for Jesus to give me the resources I need to continue my passion in photography. I know He hears me. It’s just so hard to discern His voice at times. I’m never sure if I’m just hearing my own thoughts or His.

I had a dream the other morning while praying. I dreamt I got my missing backpack back with everything still in it. I feel to my knees in tears, promising Jesus I wouldn’t cling so tightly to my photos again. Then, I woke up. I really don’t know what this dream means. I wonder if He’s telling me I’ll get my bag back through some miraculous chain of events or if He just wants me to confess that I was holding to my photos too tightly. I’ve asked Him and haven’t gotten a clear response. I guess I just need to keep asking.

This month has been all about re-centering myself and finding balance again. I won’t lie, not having a laptop has been tough. As everyone else hangs out at wifi coffee shops, emailing friends and listening to music, I hang out at home. It’s hard to be dependant on everyone else’s computers to check Facebook or email my family. I feel bad always borrowing their stuff. I guess it’s a lesson though. We weren’t created to be independent. You’d think at thirty-one, I’d be independent, but nope.

So, I continue praying for the financial means to continue documenting this incredible journey. I promise I won’t hold on too tight this time around. There’s just so much I want to show you all. It’s hard to hold back some amazing photos and just wait for Jesus to come through. I know He will, but why does it always feel like He’s procrastinating?

I could really use some prayer support right now. I’ll be back in Kuala Lumpur in a few days and I need to purchase a laptop and some photography accessories before I fly away to Africa.

Jesus has repeatedly confirmed that He has some huge plans for my photos in Africa. Are you ready to see evidence of God’s Kingdom crashing down on Africa? Will you commit to praying for me and the resources I need to make this a reality?

Here are some of the highlights over the past six months. All of the original copies of these photos have been lost.
