It is one thing to photograph the playfulness, comfort and covenant that close friends have made with another, it is such a wonderfully different joy to have been gifted and given the yes to capture your own big sister and soon to be brother. I've always wanted a brother.
This spring night we drove west into the wheatfields of Chisolm Trail in Minco, Oklahoma. It smelled and sounded like the freedom filled summers in the North and we marveled with wide eyes over the seeds and soon to be harvest all around us. Without an exchange of words, we knew it was a picture of the Kingdom of Heaven we gracefully live for and a promise for Jason and Jack's marriage; the tiniest of seeds supernatural growth into a life-giving tree of rest. I'm so thankful God chose them for me and me for them.
“And He said, “How shall we picture the kingdom of God, or by what parable shall we present it? “It is like a mustard seed, which, when sown upon the soil, though it is smaller than all the seeds that are upon the soil, yet when it is sown, it grows up and becomes larger than all the garden plants and forms large branches; so that the birds of the air can nest under its shade.”
