Not Much but Just Enough
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. Making a living off of a passion is not something a lot of people get to do and I can't even depict how grateful I am for Him choosing to bless me in this way.
I might seem like the type of person who is really confident in what I do and on the outside I might put on a pretty convincing show. However, the real Danielle is constantly reevaluating every thought, every spoken word, every image, all day long. Its taken so much for me to be proud of my work, not in a concieted way but more in the area of confidence. I can honestly tell you that when I take pictures, something comes and fills my body as if I'm not the one doing it. If I tried to explain how to do what I do I can only partially do it because I seriously think it's like a private channel I have with God. He has been so good to provide me with many personal jobs for my private photography business as well as a flowing stream of newborns to take pictures of at Magee and Washington Hospital.
This is the happiest I have ever been because I know this is right where I'm supposed to be. I might not be making a killing at it, but He sees to it that my needs are met and that's just fine with me.
I finally finished my website by the way! It's http://www.danielleskiles.com/ for those of you who would like to go check it out :)
Until next time, I pray for God's blessings on you.
