First off....I grad-u-macaded. Yes, that's right, I graduated last weekend with my Masters of Science in Counseling (K-12). I don't feel like it's a big accomplishment, but apparently it is. And don't get me wrong, I'm excited, but right now I feel like my counseling abilities are on hold (due to budget cuts within the school district in California). But....thankfully the Lord provides us with things that we could never have imagined. Like photography. The ability to capture emotions and feelings behind the lens of a camera is a gift that I would have never imagined myself doing as a "job". It doesn't feel like a "job" it feels like a passion that I happen to get paid to do. It's awesome! And I feel like I am finally learning to accept the fact that I paid thousands of dollars for a degree that (at this point in time) I am not using. At least not using at a professional level. And I am perfectly content with that because I know that God, has my life in His hands and that makes my life perfect.
Secondly, I think it is absolutely incredible to hear mom's, dad's, grandmas and the like comment on my action shots of their child (usually ages 6-10) playing a sport. Sports have always played such a strong impact in my own life, and I am glad that I am able to photograph something that I love to bring such joy and happiness to their lives. Once again, God knows me and His plan for my life more than I know my own.
Also, I apologize for the lack of a "Weekly Photo Challenge" this week. I will be out of town starting tomorrow (Thursday) for a wedding. I'm sure I'll post some photos from it soon. Be on the lookout.
I hope that you enjoyed a little bit of more "personal" business. Let me know your thoughts. Thanks :)
"We make plans and God laughs...." <----This has been my life lately, and I'm so glad it's true.
