Shooting at Cedine

Photobucket
This young man lives a little over 800 miles from where I live. Recently, his mom and I were trying to figure out how I could shoot his senior pictures when we live so far apart from each other.

I was looking into traveling to them, when it dawned on us that the Institute For Cultural Communicators' winter retreat might be a convenient time, since we'd all be in one place at the same time!
Photobucket
The retreat was held at Cedine Bible Camp in eastern Tennessee. We got there shortly after a huge snow and ice storm, and the grounds were so beautiful covered in snow. I could have done without all the ice, though.
Photobucket
He was there to work - as a potential intern. They got to do all the behind-the-scenes grunt work of facilitating the retreat. And, he was a blessing to many.
Photobucket
His sense of humor brightened the day for many of us that week!
Photobucket
When I asked him what his favorite scripture was, he assured me he never ran out of scripture, that he had many favorites. A tell-tell sign of what this young man is, of WHO he is.
Photobucket
Of whom he belongs to.
Photobucket
For this young man is a man after God's own heart.
Photobucket
This is evidenced in his actions, in his mannerisms, in his character, in his words, in the way he treats others.
Photobucket
He is a blessing to many. He is an example for the younger students. He is an example for his peers.
Photobucket
He's a caring and loving son. He's one awesome big brother!
Photobucket
He's someone you can depend on, and count on.
Photobucket
A man of God.
Photobucket
A man of God who memorizes and lives by the Word.
Photobucket
He is a man who isn't afraid to take a stand for God, to take a stand for his beliefs, to take a stand for eternity and for making a difference. And right now, he is a Senior! And I got to shoot his senior pictures! Whoot! Whoot! Congratulations! Remember your roots and grounding in your faith, and go out and Be Awesome for God!

What an encouragement! There are so few men left that have fully given their lives to the Lord to serve Him all the days of their lives. You did great on his pictures!
