Greece to be continued

I am so overjoyed, that I have found 80% of all my lost Greece pics and periodically I will post some as I have a free moment to prepare them for the Blog.
I have been settling in to not so normal life here since the return home to America. The things I am excited about are:

1. Being stretched in my faith through adversity: Husband is out of work again!
2. A wonderful person that God has provided to work for us: Our new Operations Manager!!! I will have a full introduction of Kim Watson and her role here with Evolve in the next month.
3. Pastor JD is starting a new series on the Proverbs and the whole Church has been asked to read the Proverbs two times in the next 64 days. My children want to hear and are wanting to know about quiet times with God... perfect!
4. Excited that I know have someone offering us a place to stay in Prague!!! Don't think I am not going to take advantage of that offer.
5. I am so excited to travel around the wee part of the country to visit family and to have a photo tour!!!
6. See you soon in Detroit, Grand Rapids, Memphis TN (recently added), Nashville TN, Knoxville TN.

"Hi Kimberly,

I just wanted to say thank you again for the wonderful pictures. Living overseas makes it a little bit harder, and a lot more expensive, to get professional shots done of our baby girl so it was a wonderful surprise to find you at AGM. It was difficult to decide which ones to print, but I think we finally agreed!

If you are ever in Prague, Czech Republic, or just want to come see a beautiful city, let us know - we'll have a room for you. Prague is a beautiful city, you would probably have a lot of fun with your camera here!

I hope you were able to get some rest when you returned from Greece, I know your trip to Greece wasn't real restful, but we are thankful for your willingness to come and take pictures. God has blessed you with a wonderful gift.

Thank you again,

Andrea"

Evolve On Tour!!!

As I need to go around the country anyway, I decided to go on photo tour!! I have several people in MI and in Tennessee that have been wanting to schedule a session so What the Heck...

Evolve's going on Tour!!! Thanks to an amazing Chiropractor I see who is also a fan of photography, My first stop will be in Kure Beach September 15, 16, and 17th.

I can only fit around 3-4 sessions in a day, so please contact me as soon as possible to reserve your time.




Last stop will be Knoxville Tennessee! Dates TBA... plus, I Can Add Black Mountain, NC and Greensboro, NC if there is enough request for it.

"Kimberly,

We would like to thank you for the wonderful gift of a photo session in Greece. The pictures are great and will be a special memory for us. Thank you for giving your time and talents to come and tirelessly serve us. May God bless you!

Grace and Peace,

Ron and Charlotte Craig"

What an amazingly wild ride this trip to Greece was! I am so blessed to have been there serving these wonderful people during a time of revival and hope and fun for them and their children. The whole team from Summit was amazing to serve with!!! They also worked their tails off giving the care to many many children and VBS camp to the older ones. It seems that the M families had a great time and they were so thankful that I was there to offer them the service. There was also two women cutting the Missionaries' hair all day... I felt for them because being in Greece and staying in the Basement for 12 hours a day must have been hard.

We got a total of two days free... and while others got one more 1/2 free day, I took a day at the very end to just relax! From Monday to Friday I worked around 14-16 hours a day photographing over 200 people... all of which I cannot share with you except for the few pics I have here.... and all of the other pics I will show over the next few days, I took as we were either walking to dinner or just trying to get to one place or another. My crew I know was so tired of stopping for me every time I found that perfect shot!!! except that I couldn't help myself!!!! I was in Greece for goodness sakes!

A letter from one of the Missionary Families:

"Hey Kimberly!

I did not get a chance to thank you for the photos you took of my husband and me. I looked for you the last evening and couldn't catch up with you. So many people.! You may not realize what a blessing it was to have you there with us all. It was a real treat for us to have our photo made. You do nice work and we really like them. Thank you for using your talent and gift for us.

I also wanted to tell you I have not forgotten to pray for you and your husband. I know it was a sacrifice that you didn't know would cost so much. Please share with your husband that I continue to pray for God's will to be made known to you. That I appreciate his support of you coming and ministering to all of us at our meeting.

God bless you and yours.

Love,

Linda"

After falling down the marble stairs and finding out that my laptop hard drive was dead and unfixable, I also found out that my husband lost his job due to my trip!! Turns out that his personal days needed to be turned in a month in advance and My mother-in-law canceled her trip here just a week and 1/2 before I left. At that point I had already had the tickets to go.. Not for a minute did we think it would be a problem, but... I think it will be fine and we will walk this way into a better circumstance as now we have around 100 people praying for us!!!
