Craig + Rachel {Golden Light Engagement}

Craig and I feel so incredibly grateful that our lives have crossed with Kelsey from Availeth Photography.  Kelsey is such an amazing artist and we truly admire her creative talent, but also her incredible mission - 60% of the profits from her photography goes out locally and abroad to feed the poor, visit the orphans, care for those in need, and bring God's love and light to a world that is hurting and broken, being the hands and feet of Jesus... 

We were so blessed to contribute to Kelsey's mission and spend some time with her one beautiful evening, and below I am sharing a few photos of the time she captured of us. Thank you, Kelsey 

Photos and words by Availeth Photography: 

                                            I’ve been thinking a lot about commitment lately.
+ how powerful it is to have a commitment that counts + that continues.

I’ve found that when we make commitments to ourselves— they tend to waver or fall apart with trends or feelings.
what if we could commit past what looks good or sounds good on the surface?
what if we could show up when we don’t feel like it + when nobody else is going to see it or applaud us for it?
what if we could continue in it even when it’s hard— because we know it’s worth it?
we have to commit— dedicate ourselves— to something or SOMEONE outside of ourselves.

we all long to be a part of something bigger.

+ you know what I’ve realized, friends?
— the power of commitment comes WHEN WE TELL SOMEONE.

so here’s to stepping out of trendy + stepping into dedication.
here’s to opening our mouths, finding accountability + empowerment from speaking our commitment out loud.
+ most importantly— here’s to leaning heavily on the One who has committed His heart in covenant to us.
