N & R Wedding

May 24, 2019 | EJBarnes

An absolutely breath-taking exchange that I felt humbled to have captured. My favorite part about this wedding was it truly was focused on their union, no performance, just making a pact to do this thing called life together. Sometimes in this performance based world the ceremonies, the parties, and even the covenants with God can get consumed by details, bells and whistles and all the flash… and we forget WHY we are doing what we are doing. This was an amazing example of humbleness and love.

Let each of us remember ‘the why’ behind our choices. Let love reign. Thank you for the opportunity ❤ Blessings to you and yours.

This past June I was blessed with an amazing opportunity to serve alongside the organization ManUp and Go(www.manupandgo.org). On this trip we experience life in Korah Ethiopia, Jinja Uganda, Palasa Uganda, among many other cities and villages along the way. I decided I would share my experience through imagery on this website. You can head over to my blog (www.letstalktoughstuff.wordpress.com) to get the “words” of my experience as well. I hope this blesses you and opens eyes to the amazing world we live in. This was a missions trip, and we were blessed to work alongside many missionaries, ministries, organizations and children’s homes.

My lessons from this trip: God is everywhere, in the broken, in the beauty. It was a privilege to be a vessel for God’s love and hope. Stepping out of your comfort zone IS a beautiful thing, big things happen when we step out in faith. I left a part of my heart in Africa. I hope you enjoy.

Blessings.
