Motivation can come from many places and there are times that we may not realize it at first. We are motivated by the images we see, by the things we hear, and the actions of others. It was Global Mission week at Johnson Ferry Baptist Church this past week and there were many way to be motivated. It was really moving to learn how God is using people all around the world to spread the gospel of Jesus.

“…go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit” (Matthew 28:19)

To be a member of a church that really takes the Great Commission to heart and put it into action is very encouraging.

After hearing stories from global missionaries on Friday night, it is a honor to use the “31 Days of Prayer” brochure provided to pray for the countries that JFBC’s Global Ministries are working with to spread the good new of Jesus Christ our Savior.

What motivates you?

This week’s motivation photograph is from a recent wedding.

I love it when our wedding couples use photographs at the sign in table. Especially when those photographs remind me of the good times we had at their engagement session. To see more fabulous photographs of the wedding, check out Worley Arts Photography.

This week’s motivation comes from the fact that having an iPhone with you allows for a way to make a photograph even if your not necessarily planning for it that day.

This photograph was made with my iPhone as I was getting ready to leave a friends lake house after a men’s overnight retreat.

This week’s motivation is my beautiful wife.

A husband should be motivated by his wife. Jamie is not just my wife. She is my best friend, the mother to my girls, my business partner and the love of my life. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, MY WIFE ROCKS and I thank God every day for bring us together.

Happy Valentine’s Day, Jamie, I love you.

This week’s motivation is from one of our recent engagement session.

When photographing Amber and Skylar, I had a cool street scene in mind for them. But I wanted something a little different. So by placing a flash to camera left it gives it the feel of having a street light close to them. Another thing that gives it a little different look is from where the photograph was made. I was standing on a three foot tall cast iron railing with one foot, while my other foot was against a traffic light pole.

Oh yea, I almost forgot, to get the flash high enough for that street light feel, Jamie was standing on the arm of a metal park bench. I have to say “MY WIFE ROCKS”!

We really love what we do! If you would like to see more photographs from the engagement session check out the Worley Arts blog.
