Inspiration........


 
THOUGHT for Today: 
Courage is fear that has said its prayers and decided to go forward anyway.

Just Me....


Shooting my first solo wedding today....FEAR wants to paralyze me and tell me that I'm going to screw everything up....the wedding is soo big....the church is huge....they aren't going to like it....I'm going to mess everything up.....the camera's not going to work...the lighting is going to be off...the camera won't focus...I'M GOING TO MISS THE SHOT!!  On and on and on....

So....I stop. I refocus. I Pray.

The first message I received was:
Don't let your head get bigger than your Heart. Stay humble. =)


The second & most profound message I received was:

Let's make the decision that we're going to make our Heart the place we  "look"  from for the rest of the day!  
Here is the secret:  "It is only through the Heart that one can see rightly."

What is essential is invisible to the eye. Our Heart has eyes and our Heart has hands. What is essential is invisible to the eye. It is only with the Heart you can see rightly ~ So let us look through the Heart today and make it a GREAT day!!

That's how my God works!  As long as I search...He gives me the answers...
Thank you Father for this day and showing me the way...
I'm turning it all over to You today..
Help me keep my head out of the way & SHOOT FROM THE HEART! 
In Your Holy name I pray
amen

Thought for the Day: “God’s hand is gently moving through all of our lives. He works to steer us in certain directions and to bring others into our lives for reasons we might not yet understand. Have you ever felt a gentle push within your heart and your soul? Have you pulled back from it or did you go with it? We need to learn to listen for his Whispers.” Have an awesome day today my friends! -Elmer Laydon

I Love this old knotty tree...it's branches look like an octopus going every which way...thought I would give it the Vintage look (for our theme this week) with the old fence behind it. I really love tree's they have so much character. =)

Today's Power Thought:

Work More Efficiently.
