Photograph

They say that when words are not enough, a picture comes in handy.

Or even flashy lines like "A picture speaks a thousand words" come to mind. 

But, ask yourself, what does that even mean???

A picture is most definitely not a thousand words, it is much more than that. It is a human attempt at capturing emotion, and the reason why we are touched by a "good picture" is because it has in a way, succeeded.

However, even with the best equipment available that will ever be invented, one cannot fully capture a moment. To put it simply, how do you describe an experience? You cannot, it is a bittersweet thing, for it is yours to keep but you cannot fully share it with another. You can only show a part of it, through art, dance, music, and other forms of sensory communication.

In the same way, Christianity is like photography. God is to be experienced, not simplified or put in a box. A simple analogy would be how do you put the same scent of mountain fresh air into a picture? I do not need to go into the rest of the senses, plus any thoughts and emotions that was invoked during the phototaking. Following that train of thought, we calling ourselves Christians are the photographers of this experience. We go experience God, and then bring back beautiful photos so that people might glimpse and see a small part of what God is doing.

And then, maybe they will take some photos of their own.

Without You

I am nothing.


The past few weeks. There has been good news, and the bad news and the in between news.

Let it not be my burden to bear.

at the same time, let it not be my hands that are glorified.

only You can move the mountains!

So, guide me.
