The Time is NOW

You know, life is strange. I spent the last 9 months of my time in Dallas with mounting anger towards God. I couldn't understand why He had closed the doors for me to work with Frontiers to pursue photography and then not open doors for me to do that. My heart was broken and I felt like God was withholding my dreams from me.

Hindsight is a funny thing. Here I am 4 months into life in Georgia and it all makes sense. God had to move me to Georgia for Hid dreams for me to become a reality. I couldn't have pursed a new photo business in Dallas.

About 3 weeks ago after reading an entry on Scarlett Lillian's blog about waiting and having faith in the waiting for God's heart and purpose for you, I surrendered my heart, my dreams and my plans for my business to God. I realized that without He and His blessing that nothing about my photography made sense.

This week has been overwhelming. Funds have been released to me to purchase branding, a customized blog, a customized website AND a brand new pimped out 17" Macbook Pro. Ross at Flosites is the talented design genius that I've chosen to put my trust in. Check them out!

It's indescribable to explain what it feels like to be standing on the cusp of God's heart and dreams for me. I know that NOW is the time. It's an incredible feeling to see the thing that you know you were created to do to glorify God come into being.

I've taken several leaps of faith and God met me in each leap. I praise Him and worship His goodness and grace that WE are living out OUR dreams. What a great God. I know He's smiling on me and rejoicing over me with every release of the shutter. What joy! What peace!

YAY! That is SO exciting - I can't wait to see the new sites and branding.

Your photos from Turkey moved me to tears a couple years ago and I know that your art will have that same effect on brides. Drop Terrica at Fabu-luxe.com a line some time and tell her I sent you. :) She is also in Georgia.

Hi Nice Blog .In this, the body is studied by regions rather than by organs. This is of importance to the surgeon who exposes different planes after the skin incision and who, of course, must be perfectly familiar with structures as he explores the limbs and spine anatomy cavities.
