TIME TO TAKE THAT FIRST STEP

There are many people in this world who are confident, over-achievers. The kind of people who aren't afraid to try new things and know they can do anything if they just work hard. The kind of people who will help a little old lady cross the street...with her on their back...while riding a unicycle. Not because they want to show-off, but because they want to be different and extraordinary. This pretty much describes my husband (although he rides a hott sport bike and not a unicycle).

I, on the other hand, am the complete opposite. I'm comfortable being average; with my 8-5 job, occasional help at church and staying home to watch as much TV as my husband will allow. Whenever there is a new challenge for me to face I run into my bedroom as fast as I can and hide under the blankets until that monster is gone--but it's never permanently gone, I'm sure we all know that.

So, in an effort to be less of a weenie and more of a weener (winner, in case you didn't get that :) ), I've decided to start this blog. You see, I know that God gives us each our own talents to use for His glory (Matthew 25:14-30), and although I already have my degree in Social Work, I can't help but feel like He wants me to do more; to get out of my comfort zone. 

Now, photography has always been something I've been interested in but I never believed I could be A PHOTOGRAPHER until my husband told me I could do anything I want to do. And I believe him because I know God gives us the desires of our hearts.  So, this blog will be a documentation of my struggles to become a professional photographer. I don't know if anyone will want to read this or "follow" my journey but I hope to look back one day and be proud that I tried.


If you don't know me personally then you should know that I LOVE my nephews so stinkin' much. They make life worth living :) This is Joshua and my sister, Lorina at Joyland.
