Well I'm moving through my junior year of school, it's going swell.
But you want to hear something crazy? REALLY crazy?!
I'll give you some background first.
This week in lifegroup we were asked the question, "What is your life dream?"
First thing I said (out of habit) was..."Be a nurse, help people, do something good by using my nurse skills." - To be honest, it wasn't my 'dream', it was just my plans. As soon as I said it, I knew that I wasn't truly passionate about it. I gave it a bit more thought, until I blurted out without thinking... "I Would Love To Be a Wedding Photographer!" Everyone stopped and stared. I mumbled quickly that it was just a dream, nothing would ever come of it... and looked down awkwardly. But ever since I said that, thought that, schemed that...I've constantly been dreaming about it! What if?! What if I did something crazy ...?! What if I was a part-time nurse, part-time photographer? I need more skills, I'm obviously an amateur. But with practice and time and learning, I think I could do it!
And then today.
Today as I surfed the web for daily randomness, I came across this question.
What would you be willing to attempt for God if you
knew you could not fail?
GOSH. That struck me deep in the heart. It
was like God put that question right there for me to find. If I couldn't fail
at photography and starting a small business, well of course I would do it! But
is it something I can do for God? I believe so. If I can bring beauty to this
world, in just a small way, I want to do that. If I can make people around me
happy, I want to do that. If I can make a difference in someone's life by
getting to know them, I want to do that!
I
WANT TO DO THIS.
Now
I just have to find a way to make it happen. That's the fun part. :)
