My mom, Darlene, is so good about keeping me motivated for this endeavor. I appreciate the pushes. God always gives me what I need, always has throughout my life. Last week she emailed me a link for a wildlife photo contest for Stanislaus County. I don't know if I would even have a shot at it-- seems like I would need a more powerful zoom than I have so as to not scare away the subject. But, it is great to be challenged in the prospect.
Additionally, I have another person wanting photos taken- a single mom and her son in an outdoor Christmas tree type setting. She offered to pay me. I still feel that I am nowhere near that level- yet, I wonder if I should start asking for a donation if someone gets a picture that they like- something they will print. I have equipment wishes that I think will make me better and able to achieve my goals faster if I had the money to get them. So..... I don't know. It feels awkward. I'm praying for wisdom and as always, for God's grace in this pursuit. You, my faithful followers and supporters as I travel this rugged journey of learning- you must hold me accountable. If God blesses me to be good at this- I need to remember the blessing was His, the praise is His. I don't want to get good and get conceited. I want to get good and be thankful, be resourceful, be worshipful- and use that gift to capture images that allow others to do the same.
