The real miracle here is that Tanya still chose me for her branding photography session for Deeper Living Ministries despite our rocky start.

I was waiting on a call from a doctor’s office while I was working out a few months ago. My watch started ringing with an unknown number and I was sure it was the call I was waiting on so I dropped my barbell and hit the green button. Music was blaring, weights were clinking and I had sweat dripping into my eyeballs when I huffed out a “Hello?”

“Is this Kate Walton?”

“It is!”

“Hi Kate, my name is Tanya. I have a ministry. And I wanted to talk with you about a session for my new website.”

“Oh- okay. Tanya- I’m so sorry. I thought you were my doctor’s office and I am in the middle of a workout. Can I call you back in a few minutes?”

I’m cringing even telling y’all this story! I mean- who does that? Clearly I did NOT have enough O2 going to my brain in that moment. But Tanya (pronounced Tonya) is generous and kind and laughed with me 10 minutes later when the oxygen was flowing again and I called her back.

And I am thankful she was willing to bare with me because, y’all, meeting her in person was absolute joy! At one point I realized I was just holding my camera mesmerized as she poured scripture all over me. She has a gift of evangelism for sure.

Tanya will be a longtime friend and mentor in my life, I’m sure. I look forward to watching her ministry continue to grow!
