My passion in life is God then family. I am a mom of five.I thank God for the gift of photography. I hope to capture life as God sees it. He sees it all. Not with eyes,but with heart. So, I hope you see my heart and in doing so, find the heart of God. My favorite type of photos are people, especially kids. Kids are hard to capture. They move too much.

 

I have been so blessed to belong to Flickr. It has opened a world to me I never knew of. There is a common bond here that I think God is well pleased with. Photographs cross boundaries like nothing else can. It's not about awards here,or recognition. It's about lives touching for a moment.Some things don't matter here. There is no race,color,location, and pictures are our language.Beauty and happiness are universal. Love reaches all.

This is the first testimonial I've written on Flickr. So why did I start with Believer9? She and a few others showed me a way to use my photos for our Father's purpose. Looking at her images and reading her captions reminded me that to see images, to capture moments, and to share both is a blessing from Heaven. It's not to be wasted. Everything we do should be for the Glory of God... thus, I now share my images on Flickr with the hope of sharing the Word of God and the Love of others through photography. Jill, thank you for reminding me of my true purpose!

Just a quick moment here because yet again, I'm tail chasing with all my work but some times we have to take a moment and say some things that should be said. In this instance, I have to tell anyone who comes to Believer9's profile to try and find out more about what kind of person she may be, what I know about her. This lady, is one of those rare, amazingly beautiful people who consistently holds true to her own soul. She stands up for what she believes in without passing judgment or attempting to impose her own beliefs on others. She is honest is a world where honesty sometimes does not come easily. Jill is a gentle, caring, person who I am honored to call friend in this world. And did I mention, she takes the most spectacular shots! I am very blessed to have met this dear lady. And if you don't know her, do yourself a favor and get to know her.

It's such a treat to have Jill as a flickr friend. I appreciate the quality of her work, and her stream showcases her fine photographic skills. As a devoted mother, Jill has captured some of the most endearing portraits you will see on Flickr. I admire her spontaneity and her ability to see beauty in everyday life ... to immortalize moments that the callous or untrained eye would overlook. Kind, helpful, generous, faithful, talented ... Jill, you are a sweetheart!

Jill is a kind,caring, and thoughtful person. She is the most faithful person I know. I can honestly say she is also the wisest person I know. She is my very best friend and my mentor. If it wasn't for her I would have never gotten into my favorite thing to do(photography). I actually owe her for every explore and award because if it wasn't for her I wouldn't even know where to start. As for her photos I think they are brilliant. She uses the most creativeness in her photography. She has come so far and I am so proud of her. Explore is now a common thing for her. Yeah Jill! Anyone who calls her friend is blessed. She is a true servant of God. Love you Sis with all my heart. Love Mom.

Kind, genuine and true, Jill is an absolute joy to know and a fabulous friend. Visiting her excellent photostream is a must, her abundantly obvious photographic ability there for the world to see. The Explores are coming thick and fast and everyone so richly deserved. Above all else, I regard her very highly indeed. Refreshing, generous, selfless, devoted to her family, she displays all the personal qualities I admire most. Flickr would merely be a pile of photographs without people such as Jill. Anyone fortunate enough to come to know her as a contact will find that she is loyal, supportive, and a good pal . More power to your elbow, Jill. Flickr success is assured.
