Mini Sessions in Clovis and Lubbock
/I am currently offering mini sessions in Clovis, NM and Lubbock, TX with 50% of the sales going towards my cousin Luke. My nine-year-old cousin Luke was in a golf cart accident Tuesday, July 28th in Lubbock, Texas that resulted in severe head trauma. Doctors are optimistic that Luke will return home but not without quite the road to recovery with brain damage, a collapsed lung and complications with his left eye due to the golf cart rolling on top of him causing several skull fractures and brain swelling. It is a waiting game as doctors continue to evaluate the extent of the brain damage and the next few days will be key for Tim and Jenny Siegel, Luke's sisters, family, friends and loved ones.
If you are looking to help my cousins in any way as medical expenses mount throughout Tim and Jenny's journey to bring Luke home, please consider purchasing a mini session. 50% of the sales will go towards those expenses.
Please pray for the Siegel family as they are living through each day of this hard journey.
I am believing that God will heal my cousin Luke. My prayer for him: The Lord has declared that He will restore [Luke] to health and heal his wounds."Â Jeremiah 30:17
"We put our hope in the Lord. He is our help and our shield. In him our hearts rejoice, for we trust in his holy name. Let your unfailing love surround us, Lord, for our hope is in you alone." -Psalms 33:20-22

/"Take Time" Take time to tickle, to kiss and to hug; Take time to giggle, To talk and to love. Perhaps there's a lot That needs done today, But take just a minute To stop and to play. They need you right now, And soon they'll be grown. Soak up the memories While they're still at home. Take time to show them They're worth the time spent. The amount of time shared Should never be a regret. -By Jenn Gigowski busybeingblessed.net
