God takes care

It is so cool how God takes care of the little things in this lives of His children. I can't recall whether I mentioned this in an earlier post, but Alex has been working every single day for the past two weeks. He's been shooting on weekends and then trying to work on photos, oversee the patio work, and manage the school during the week. He has only been able to get to the school 3 times in the past two weeks. He's exhausted.

In addition, he was selected by Big Folio for a feature. Big Folio is a company that designs website templates and and a slew of other services for wedding photographers. Some of the biggest name photographers use them to host their websites, as does Alex. Anyway, periodically, they select a photographer and film a video about how the photographer uses Big Folio tools to maximize their workflow. So the videographer was scheduled to come on Wednesday (yesterday). On Tuesday night, Alex was stressing badly b/c he had been so busy that he hadn't even been able to think about what to say for the video shoot.

So within the first 10 minutes of getting together, Alex learns that the guy is a Christian. What a blessing - God knew exactly how to put Alex at ease. The chances of this were SLIM. The guy is from Seattle, just FYI - Seattle and Miami are the 2 most un-churched cities in the US (Seattle #1, Miami #2). It came up b/c Alex was asking what else he films - and he mentioned that the vast majority of his work is shooting Christian Snowboarders in the NW. So they had a great day - shooting footage of Alex demonstrating how he uses Big Folio tools at home on his computer while doing post-production on weddings. Later, he filmed Alex doing a photo session with a couple - we recruited our good friends Lauren and Brian from church - they were great models.

The next thing that God did to take care of Alex: after dropping the videographer off at his hotel, Alex started stressing about all that needed to be done today - mostly that he HAD to get to the school, but he also couldn't leave the workers unsupervised. So, this morning, it was super-cloudy and kind of rainy and the main guy calls and says that they think it would be best not to work today since they are laying tile in an uncovered area. It was such a load off of Alex.

It's so cool how God cares about the little things in our lives. He really wants the best for His children.
