Category Archives: My Journey I want to live with purpose and passion…every single day. I want a life that counts. Most of us probably do. This isn’t a new desire. I’ve always wanted to live with purpose. I just didn’t know what it takes to do it. Maybe I thought purpose and passion would happen upon me one day….  You cannot sustain a God-given passion or fulfill a God-given dream apart from the One who gave it. He must be the motivation and the orchestrater. I have seen this in my life time and time again. Psalm 52:9 seems to be a reoccurring theme in my heart these days. Today I cannot help but… 
Amen. Thank you so much for sharing this, I needed it. Happy Monday! 
Jen, you are a blessing – thank you for writing this! 
Wow! What an exciting new chapter in your lives, praise Him whose plans are better than the ones we have for ourselves! You have such a way with encouraging and inspiring words, I love reading your blog and admiring the beauty in your photography as you live your life for Him. 
Wow, what a great reminder. Thanks for sharing. My husband and I are in the middle of a few projects that WE really want to happen, and we have to keep reminding ourselves that that is not the important factor.
Thank you for sharing your heart today. It was an encouragement to my own! 
Oh, Jennifer… this could not have come at a more better time. Thank you. And congratulations to the entrance of a new + beautiful season! 
Congratulations on this new (awesome!) change. I too long to serve in full-time ministry, particularly in the church, if God would allow. It has been my dream for years. I trust that God knows that dream and that He is preparing to use me in the best way, as only He knows and could orchestrate. I celebrate with you and your husband as I totally get and relate to what you have written here!
I can totally relate to this Jennifer! It’s been a little while but I wanted to say ‘hi’ and that your photography is stunning as ever. You said, “He must be the motivation and the orchestrater”-absolutely, or as in my case, I go no where really fast-despite my best intentions! I’m so thankful that he leads with his infinite wisdom so much better than I ever could fathom. The waiting on him can be so excruciating but when it is finally the ‘right time’ and the right doors open, it is an unfathomable blessing. I’m so happy you guys are doing what you are passionate about and fulfilled in as He leads you both. Blessings! Jeanine
Encouraging word Sis! It’s been a joy to watch God grow and use you and Jonathan. I’m so thankful God allowed me to be a part of y’all’s life this past year. There’s no other place I’d rather be :)
Thank you for sharing. It’s always a blessing to see how God is at work in other people’s lives. I really enjoy your posts on your walk with the Lord, they’re really encouraging! I hope you’ve heard of the Rend Collective version of “You are my vision”, it’s a great one. Blessings all the way from Switzerland! Antje
I am very thankful to the Lord. He is good and it is a privilege to serve the Lord 
I can’t wait to see how God blesses you in this new season Jen! 
Thank you Chantel. I’m so thankful for your encouragement!  It has been quite a year. I can’t believe how much has changed, and how much I have changed. It’s been a year of good things and much introspection. I feel like I have come into my own more than ever in my life. I think I’ve finally embraced my skin and what makes me…
A beautiful tribute to the past year and what God has done in your life! I can’t wait to see where He takes you in 2013 and I look forward to seeing the pictures:-)

Well folks, my 2012 wedding season is a wrap. I’m so incredibly thankful for this past year. I can’t imagine life without knowing all the sweet couples I’ve met and gotten to know better. I have loved every second! Sarah and Brock’s super sweet and elegant wedding was a perfect way to end the year….
This is GORGEOUS! I can’t wait to see the full blog!

Yay to 2012 and all the success it brought you with photography. Each of these are so beautiful, and I’m sure you formed such precious relationships with each person you photographed! Here’s to 2013 and all that much success it will bring you as well :)
Love it! And I need to call you!
Oh Jennifer, why do you tease me so?  The best investment you can make with your life is in people. Jesus spent the majority of this earthly ministry walking around with 12 guys, teaching them along the way. What am I doing? Who am I investing in? These are questions I have found myself asking as of late. At the end of my…
.” I want to be so plugged into Jesus and so invested in others that I am more than content to “slip off to the sidelines” I love this! I love christine too! beautiful post for the perfect time of year!
Everything about this post is great, challenging & note worthy. 
thank you for sharing these beautiful words today! as I’ve heard it said lately…we need to keep asking how can we get lower? so challenging to my current way of life!
mmm good word! You speak so much truth!
so great, jennifer. thank you for this!
Amen! My pastors would always say “our ceiling is your floor” and I could see their hearts really longed to see me and others grow, even beyond them. I learned to pour that into others. thank you for this!
Love this. I have read the same thing about being a true leader: that you elevate and promote others over yourself, even if you are really good at what you are doing. Jesus’ life sets an example of the opposite of what our society tells us.
Thanks for sharing this, Jennifer. I needed it today. |

Jennifer! This post reached out to me in so many ways. It felt like a letter written just for me. God has been trying to teach me this very lesson lately! Thank you for sharing this!
<3 love this more than words can express
I fail at this every day, but I so enjoyed reading this and having it as a reminder for this week…you’re just so much of an encouragement Jenn! :)
