*Photo above features 3 pics I took at Saddleback Anaheim and were included in the weekly handout of October 6 & 7, 2018. I marked my photos with star stickers.
It’s been a year since @lismethpesce and I became members of Saddleback Anaheim and made it our home church. Together we allowed God to transform our lives by putting Him at the center of it and it’s been an extraordinary journey. Throughout these months I felt called by God to use my talents for His purpose, but I didn’t know how to go about it. The opportunity presented itself a couple of times to join the photography team, but because I feared I was not good enough, I dismissed it and prayed about it. A few weeks later I felt a strong pull by God that was relatively different and just went for it. In less than a week I was corresponding with Kyle @kfstop (technical director) and I committed. He’s such a super cool guy!
As of this entry: I’m part of the PICS (Photographers In Christ’s Service) team and it’s been two weeks since I’ve served at Saddleback Anaheim. I am thankful that God has given me these creative gifts to capture the authentic Saddleback experience (worship, community, campus). Honestly? I was nervous on my first day on the PICS team, but having to receive that warm welcome by Kyle, the worship team and the Anaheim staff confirmed I was in the right place. Once I got to my assignment, my passion took another level of awesomeness! The love is REAL at Saddleback and I love working with these amazing people! My heart yearns to serve God!
Thank you Lisme for encouraging me to pursue my passion of photography for God’s purpose. Love you! I was pleasantly surprised when I found out 3 of my photos were featured in this past week’s service handout. As a visual storyteller, I love capturing people’s emotions. They all have a story to tell. Looking forward to seeing God work. Thank you @saddlebackan @saddlebackpics and Kyle for the opportunity!
