It Started Quietly

I don’t remember the first time I added a Bible verse to one of my photos.

It probably wasn’t meant for anyone else, just for me. Just a way to express something I was feeling in that moment. I’d taken a picture of a beautiful scene, and adding a verse felt like it gave that moment language. A layer of meaning. A quiet way to say, God was there.

Eventually, I started using them as screensavers. People would see them, my parents, visitors, even unbelievers and they’d often say something kind. That’s when a small thought formed: Maybe this could be more than just a personal practice. Maybe this could be a way to quietly plant God’s word where it might be seen.

I didn’t know it then, but a seed had been planted.

A Way to Remember

Every image carries a feeling. Every verse I choose is a way of remembering that moment with God.

Sometimes I see a photo I’ve taken, maybe of a peaceful lake, a glowing sunset, or a foggy road and I remember the awe or the gratitude I felt standing there. And then I’ll ask: What verse reminds me of that feeling? Other times, it’s the reverse, the situation I’m in shapes the verse I need, and I’ll search for an image that holds that same weight.

In either case, it always comes back to the same desire: to remember that God is with me. That He’s in control. That He is the Creator and the King but also near, also a friend.

These pieces have become like anchors. Not just for others, for me. They remind me who He is.

More Than a Screensaver

There came a point when I realized this wasn’t just a creative hobby. I started wondering, Is there something more here?

I wanted a way to keep my freedom. The way I see it, time is one of the most sacred things we can give. And I wanted my time to go to God and to my family, which is my first ministry.

I wanted to give my kids the best chance to meet God for themselves. Not because their dad believed, but because they did. Because they saw Him move in our lives and in theirs.

I started noticing something: I really liked what I was creating. I was pouring my heart into it, and it became a space to give to God, and to others. Friends started encouraging me. My wife and kids were my biggest supporters. And slowly, I began to wonder if God was giving me something to steward.

Two years ago, I began sharing more openly, posting online, sharing pieces from the heart. And every now and then, I’d get a little encouragement. A sale here or there. A message from someone who resonated with what I’d written.

And that’s when it really clicked: maybe someone out there needed to hear what I was learning. Maybe someone else was walking through the same thing. Maybe this art could be a whisper that says, You’re not alone. Keep going. Run the race.

Right Now, It’s Perseverance

These days, I’m building this site. And I’ll be honest, it’s not easy.

It’s a leap of faith. I don’t know how it will be received. I don’t know what the outcome will be. But I keep thinking of that verse:
“The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in Him.” (Psalm 37:23)

So I keep going. I trust that even if just one life is touched, it’s worth it. God’s word never returns void. That’s what I hold on to.

And what’s been beautiful is that as God started revealing our calling toward Cambodia, everything I’d already started with this project began to fit. I didn’t begin this art journey with missions in mind. But somehow, God had been preparing the ground the whole time.

Now it’s all connected.

What I Hope People See

This isn’t just a store. This is a step of faith.

Each piece of art is a prayer, not just something to hang, but something to hold. A reminder that God is near. That He speaks through beauty. That His word is alive. And that even in small things, like a photo and a verse, He can speak.

What Comes Next

I don’t know every detail. But I know this: He’s leading. And we’re going.
