It's Like This...

What is Christmas REALLY About?

"For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord." Luke 2:11

 

An Evening of Elegance

This Saturday was a busy one for me.  After two portrait sessions I was asked to join Khaptures in photographing a concert.  Her cousin is a member of Empowered by Jesus Youth Choir, and we photographed their live recording Saturday evening.  It was TRULY a blessing!  I am very glad that I was there.  The songs ministered to my soul. I am looking forward to the CD.

Please find out more information on the choir on their MySpace page: www.myspace.com/ejyc

 

  

  

  

  

The director and his wife.  Beautiful couple.  

The director was presented with an award from the mayor of Inglewood.   

His reaction... 

It starts...  

  

  

  

I had to put the camera down and enjoy myself during this selection...  

  

  

  

  

  

  

People got saved last night.  God was moving through the place!   

  

  

There is something very wonderful about men who love the Lord.

    

  

Words can't express the way I felt last night.  I was truly blessed.

Joshua Chavez & Outpour - Praize Night

So, I promised that I'd post some images from Praize Night, June 2008.  Here is part one of the Praize Night image posting.  This group was wonderful.  They blessed us with songs in Spanish and English.  And although I couldn't understand a single Spanish word, I was moved by the sweet sound of their voices singing to the Lord.

Bonfire 2008

On Friday my church's youth department was invited to a youth bonfire at a local beach.  We had a great time.  And to think, I was tempted to leave my camera at home.

What's a bonfire without a weenie roast?  Believe me when I tell you that the fire was HOT.  While trying to roast one for my son, my face got hotter than the dog.  My son and I just ate ours cold.  I know, I know, that sounds really gross.  But when you think about it as bologna on a stick this it doesn't sound so bad.  Right?

Min. A.D. Frazier...

Scripture reading...

Prayer...

A song to glorify God...

There was testifying and sharing as well.  In the end the youth minister from the hosting church had a word from the Lord for every attendee.  It was truly a blessing.  Mount Pilgrim, thanks for the invite!

In The Name of The Father...

After a long time of being scared, my son made a very big decision.  This past Sunday my son was baptized.  Now It could have been done years ago, but I wanted to make sure that he understood the significance of what he was doing. When he told me that he was ready I sat down with him and read to him what being baptized symbolizes.  He was excited. 

While I was getting him ready he told me that he was scared.  I reassured him and told him there was nothing to be afraid of.  I was so proud.

I baptized you in the name of the Father, and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit...

It was short, sweet, to the point and oh so beautiful.  I had to fight back the tears.  When we got into the bathroom so that he could change he was jumping up and down.  I just smiled.  He said that he felt good.  I smiled even bigger, I'm talking Cheshire Cat big!  When they passed the communion plates (I don't know what the actual word for those dishes is) I looked aver at him and he had a grin that mirrored mine.  He could finally share communion with us, which was something that he'd being dying to do.  LOL!

This was a very important day in both of our lives.  And naturally this type of commitment to God brings the enemy in full force, like waving a flag in front of a raging bull. 

All of those prayer warriors reading this, please keep us in your prayers. Thank you in advance!
