Sometimes we need to remind ourselves that our hope really is in the Lord and we cannot lean on our own understanding.
Day 25 in Purpose Driven talks a lot about what to do with life's problems. It was a fitting passage for this week. I think God placed it in my path to remind me how to react when life deals you an unfair hand. A little preparation for the week to come. I find His peace in the midst of my chaos. I'm trying to fight fair and have a humble attitude, remembering that He is ultimately shaping my character. People are going to walk in and out of my life, but my relationship with Him, more importantly my accountability TO HIM will be forever. I think it's finally sinking in that I CANNOT please everyone and instead I need to focus on pleasing Him. That is an attainable goal of far more value.
Our family could use your prayers this week.
About Me
- antho
- Every shoot is different. Every family is unique and special. Every couple has their own interpretation of their relationship. There is no cookie cutter session with me. I think if I get to that point, it's time to put the camera down, don't you? We've all seen those photographers - you know the underpaid hourlys at Sears, or the over-paid wedding photographer that you can tell is simply putting their time in to get the same images - just different folks than they did at the last setting or event. I pray before each shoot to be freshly inspired by the people in front of my lens, that I see what God sees in them. He loves each of us as His precious children and delights in our personalities and quirks. I feel like my calling is to witness that special something in you and capture it in an image. The day that I stop feeling that way about it is the day I need to close up shop.

You got it. I've had to come to the same conclusion over the last year. This is a painful lesson to learn. I'll start praying now.
thanks for your support Jennifer. I think we are going to be ok. :)
