an evening well spent









I like
- spontaneous photoshoots with this girl.
- this girl.
- discovering new photoshoot ideas.
- how these pictures turned out.
- evenings like this.
- when the pizza deliveryman still gives you the pizza, although you 
accidentally don't have enough at home.

famous in your father's eyes



Nothing is hidden from your sight. Wherever I go you find me. You know every detail of my life. When I come or go, you see it all. (Bethel Music - You know me)

Sounds like a celebrity talking about some awkward paparazzis, doesn't it? Well, better - way better - story! It is YOU talking about GOD.

I guess we all once dreamed about being a well known actor, singer or a successful athlete, didn't we? Staying on the big stage, holding an award in our hands, seeing ourselves in magazines, on TV. When you wake up, reality slaps you right in the face. You wake up and once again you're just a high school kid, student or just that other employee in the office.

BREAKING NEWS!

You ARE famous. You are famous in your father's eyes. You are called to shine. Just don't shine for your own good, but for God's sake. Shine so through you, others can see him. You are surely not called to be quiet. God gave you some wonderful talents. Share them with others. Inspire others. Let God build up his kingdom with you, through your gifts. I just dare you to not live for applause. (This is one hard thing to do.)
Stay humble!

Jesus died for you in public, don't only live for him in private.

You don't need your name in lights. You don't need to be on the cover of the next vogue magazine. You are the child of the one true king. This is the greatest award,  the greatest honor you could ever ask for.

God calls you loved. God calls you wanted. God calls you chosen. God calls you his child. 
Better than any oscar, MTV Award, Bambi or Grammy Award together.

Sincerely, Vanessa
