Hey Have You Heard...

The time has come!

For those of you who are new followers, the Swift Family is finally taking off by the end of the month. We are embarking on a new journey of nomadic traveling; excited to explore the unknown and take a chance on life outside of the box.

You may be wondering... why?

Well first off, we believe God has called us to travel, to build new relationships and share His love with all He brings across our paths. We believe that when God speaks, you have a choice to act upon it. We have agreed to step out on our faith and put it to the test, to truly live by the Word.

We ought to attempt something so great for God 
that unless God intervenes, we are bound to fail. - Jim Elliot

Secondly, as photographers, we desire new subjects, new environments, new surroundings. We look forward to learning about new destinations and communities and the chance to capture something great through our lens.

Do not follow where the path may lead.
Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail. - Ralph Waldo Emerson

Lastly, why not? As a family, we light up at the chance to explore. We enjoy nature and spending time with new friends... so why wait for a "better" time to do what brings us joy? Do we expect bliss, no, we expect adventure and all the ups and downs it brings.

The person who says it cannot be done
should not interrupt the person doing it! - Chinese Proverb

So until next time, we leave you with this quote...

What you do everyday should contribute to giving your life meaning.  
If it doesn't, why are you doing it? - Don Hutcheson
