i've taken hundreds of shots of sunsets. and 2 things i've learned about them that is quite relevant to the place i sit as i contemplate on the last 10 weeks of this 'ship life' i've lived...
one, as much as i don't want to rely on post-editing photos, one things' for sure... that I will never, ever be able to capture the translucent rays, the unexplainable colours & intricate clouds as I would see them with my naked eye. its just... impossible. and i think God made it that way at times... that as much as i capture moments, and write about my experiences, and tell story after story, its just kept... a mystery. between me and God. and as much as i find joy in sharing with all of you about this adventure, i know that i've only scratched the surface and i won't ever be able to share the full extent of the things i've grown and gained because of the greater purpose that i've carried inside of me.
and lesson two of capturing sunsets... just when you think its the best, it only gets better. for this sunset shot, i probably took 20 shots before and probably 20 shots after this one ... just when i thought it was the most beautiful and vibrant, in a matter of minutes, the colours of the sky only got crazier & deeper... if only i wait, will i see. i am so grateful for what i've been through and what God has done through this tour, but I know He is so faithful and FAR from done... i am soo excited! we still got North Tour and PNG ahead! ... if only i wait, will i see...
so there you go... sunsets.
