What an interesting day…with poor service providers, not committed to keep to their appointments…and a poor bride-to-be who went through so much effort to arrange a protea backdrop for our shoot! With quit a few challenges of disappointment, too little time, peak traffic and a long distance to travel…and a sun busy setting!…I truly got into this couple’s personal space. And enjoyed so much to see how Jean supported Bronwynne with his strong character and obviously, his love and care for her to help her make this work. There is only one Bronwynne; she is a unique lady with a bubbly personality and many passions that bring colour to her life!

I love days like these…because God in His sovereignty has the ability to work so many disappointments for the good of something else and then surprisingly can spoil us with something far more than we expected! Afterall, He created the earth and every beautiful protea in it, and He holds creation in His sovereign hand. Praise God for His hand in this afternoon…in a very short time, we had a wonderful fruitful time and lots of fun!

Lots of love, Lucinda

Can you fasten the chains of the Pleiades
or loosen the belt of Orion?
Can you bring out the constellations in their season
and lead the Bear and her cubs?
Do you know the laws of heaven?
Can you impose its authority on earth?
Can you command the clouds
so that a flood of water covers you?
Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go?
Do they report to you: “Here we are”?
Who put wisdom in the heart
or gave the mind understanding?
Who has the wisdom to number the clouds?
Or who can tilt the water jars of heaven
when the dust hardens like cast metal
and the clods of dirt stick together?
– Job 38:31-38 –
