This past week, I had the awesome privilege of being able to take pictures for some good friend of ours. Here are a few of the results... (for privacy purposes, please do not mention their names)
It is so incredibly easy to lose sight of where you are in life. One thing piles onto the next and all of a sudden you are swampped with a million things lined up in your datebook and a billion thoughts going through your mind. Sometimes I get so overwhelemed in my own life and busyness that I lose track of all the great things God is doing for me. As some of you may know, I quit my job at Giant Eagle to persue photography full time. I can't really describe the feeling of peace I had about it when I made the decision; I just knew it was the right thing to do. At first it was slow going and kind of discouraging, but over the last couple of months I have been able to make enough money solely through photography to support myself and all of my expenses. It would be easy to stop at that and brag on myself and my accomplishments, but I truly am humbled by the fact that God would choose to bless my efforts to use the talent he gave me to make a living....
... a great-fitting pair of blue jeans. I usually dread the day in the late summer when it's time for back-to-school shopping. In other words [since I'm home schooled] Fall shopping. A reason to buy some new clothes. I dread it not only because we always end up going on the day when everyone else does, but because it is so stinking hard to find clothes that fit right and look decent. But alas! Yesterday, I went by myself and actually found what I was looking for! A great fitting pair of blue jeans. Tomorrow we're going white-water rafting in celebration of Dilly's 16 years of life. Hopefully I will have some pictures to share with you all [not of rafting, but of of the other fun times].
I'm kind of hesitant to publish this post, but think it is a necessary follow up to the previous one. In my last post, I mentioned how lately, I have been having to be practically slapped in the face when God tried to tell me something because my head is so thick. Well, I have yet another example of how this is true... So, on Friday, I was going to post about how much I loved my new job at Subway. It was a relatively easy job that requires little to no brain space or training. Making sandwiches was fun and enjoyable. PLUS you got free food while you work from both Subway and Dairy Queen. I tried to envision myself staying there all summer and getting to know the people who seemed to enjoy each other's company but it never really happened. I didn't think too much about that, however, and just kept plunking along thinking that I would get used to it. I got ready yesterday, with a best friend's advice fresh on my heart "Just be careful to not let them influence you, D...
