Faith in the everyday life blog
through Amy bretall’s eyes
Amy Bretall’s faith-based photography books have helped many people find faith in the everyday life. Her blog’s mission is to help others develop that faith through her writing – then deepen it.
To Come Alive.
It’s pretty cool what God can place in your heart. Two years ago I was inspired to help a little girl I met in Cuba and needed a product to sell. Several months later I started taking photos of crosses as my faith was deepening. I took cross photos all around- urban,...
Hark the Herald Angels Sing
“Angels we have heard on high...” While I was in Cuba this angel statute caught my attention. I’m not an "angel collector," but as I looked up, there was a unique surrounding cloud movement. Ahead I noticed a little cloud break and thought there could an...
Faith Experience
One of the great things about getting older is having experience. Specifically, faith experience to see when God’s hand has touched your life. How He has guided. Little nudges all along the way, bringing a Wow happening, helping us to understand. Faith is little by...
Shadow Casting Cross
The power of the sun to transform. The power from above to show us a new image- all it takes is the mix of nature and time. THE light source casting a different perspective for us to see. Is this His view? Is this how He sees from above? Makes me think of our own...
Fortify Your Faith

The Story Behind: Stained Glass Cross, Cuba
I took this photo in Havana Cuba 2 years ago. What you don’t see behind this photo is I had to step on an unstable concrete block and hold my arm just so to capture the cross image. Luckily I have long arms. I only took one photo, not a series of shots to find the...
Steeple Cross
Stopping in a small rural town last October I spotted this steeple cross from the road and had to get closer. As I was sitting in my car observing I noticed a “blanket” of clouds approaching in the distance. I got out to explore and see what they looked like from...
