An Eternal Focus

Christ centered families are happy families. 💛

“Following Christ for my family has meant utilizing our gifts to impact each other's life, our neighborhood, the community and our industries through serving. We've been greatly impacted by the word of God to not only think materialistically but also historically, meaning thinking about how our choices and actions will influence history: those coming after us and how they do life.

Being a Christian is our life's strategy.”

- Jerry Walker

I've moved to Wilson, NC! Got to photograph this family surrounded by the beautiful folk artwork that is Whirligig Park and I've got to say I keep falling more in love with NC with every family I meet and place I travel to 💕 North Carolina has my heart! So so grateful that the Lord called me to this beautiful place.

"Nila is said to be the most beautiful and poetic word in the Tamil language. It means “enchanting moon”, and denotes inner and outer beauty. It is auspicious and lucky. I knew from the moment I was pregnant that she would be a girl, and that she should be called Nila.

From the first moment I saw her, I knew we had chosen perfectly. She brought the light and beauty of the moon shining into our world. I am so much better because of her. She was my miracle baby, after a long and heartbreaking journey with infertility. I waited so long to hold her, but when I finally did, everything made sense. She healed me in such a deep way and every day, I am so grateful and honored that she chose me to be her mother, and that God saw it fit for me to raise this beautiful little soul. I love being Nila’s mommy!"

“Whatever problems your family is facing, whatever you must do to solve them, the beginning and the end of the solution is charity, the pure love of Christ. Without this love, even seemingly perfect families struggle. With it, even families with great challenges succeed"
