Under Construction

Photography as a new hobby, or a new passion? 

It has been a long time since I’ve felt an excitement stirring in my heart.  Recently I have had three things cause my heart to beat just a little faster, and I cannot seem to separate them. 

Photography, teaching, and writing.

I won’t share the details of what the Lord may be stirring.  Suffice it to say I have some things to talk to Him about. Currently, I am just thankful to be stirred, however, there remains always a fear that I will pursue the wrong thing, or the right thing for the wrong reasons. Perhaps it’s time I just finally pour myself into something unreservedly, and trust Him with it- completely.

Teaching and writing have been desires of my heart for some time, but never in this way, from this angle. I still very much have another “stirring” in my heart from two years ago involving a unique music/drama/ministry production of sorts…but maybe it’s just not time for that flower to bloom yet.  I have a feeling it’s going to need quite a bit more watering first, and that’s okay. 

For now I’m actively waiting, learning, practicing, praying, trusting, and hoping.
