Tonight I had scheduled a photo shoot that has been months in the making. Frank Berry (of Frank Berry Ministries) is coming out with a new album. He has enlisted my services for his project and I've been super pumped about it. The name of his album will be "Revealed," so I looked to scripture for my inspiration and found Isaiah 40:3-5 which says...
A voice is calling,
"Clear the way for the Lord in the wilderness;
Make smooth in the desert a highway for our God.
"Let every valley be lifted up,
And every mountain and hill be made low;
And let the rough ground become a plain,
And the rugged terrain a broad valley;
Then the glory of the Lord will be REVEALED...
So finally I found a word picture to work with. Proverbs 3:5-6 (Trust in the LORD with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will MAKE YOUR PATH STRAIGHT.) was a reference in the the margin of my bible. So immediately the idea of some sort of demolition and an active straightening of a path came to mind and so did 2 Cor. 10:5 So I had the idea of placing Frank in front of a bulldozer overlooking the mountains and valleys described in Isaiah with a glorious sunset in the background. Just one problem... where was I going to find a bulldozer?
After asking friends on Facebook if anyone had seen one, I had a friend give me the exact geographical coordinates for EXACTLY what I was looking for! It was perfect! The bulldozer was on an open lot on a mountain overlooking Huntsville and facing west at that! I was amazed! So finally today the stars aligned between the weather and Frank's schedule and we set out to do the shoot today. Just one problem... the bulldozer that hadn't moved in about a year according to construction workers was gone. I couldn't believe it! Why would God give me something and then take it away right before the shoot!?! I still don't have an answer to that, but on the way home I was able to stop to take a picture of His still gorgeous sunset. I do not always understand God, but I do know that He is always good and always majestic! So I will lean not on my own understanding, but in all my ways will I acknowledge Him and He will make my path straight!
