Ellie led us on a great adventure through Minneopa and a Madison Lake sunflower field, it was the most beautiful late summer evening. I feel the images capture her spirit: bright, sunny, calm-happy and full of adventure! Thank you for including me on this commemorative photo shoot, God's blessings on your 12th year and beyond. May God be with you in the highs and the lows and all the in-betweens! 

Psalm 42:5-11

5 Why are you cast down, O my soul, and moan within me? Hope in God; for I shall praise Him for the salvation of His face. 6 O my God, my soul is cast down within me; therefore I will remember You from the land of Jordan, and of the Hermons, from mount Mizar. 7 Deep calls to deep at the noise of Your waterfalls; all Your waves and Your billows have gone over me. 8 Jehovah will command His loving-kindness in the daytime, and in the night His song shall be with me, my prayer to the God of my life.

9 I will say to God my rock, Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the cruelty of the enemy? 10 As with a sword in my bones, my enemies shame me; while they say daily to me, Where is your God? 11 Why are you cast down, O my soul? And why do you moan within me? Hope in God; for I still praise Him, the salvation of my face, and my God.
