I have to jump on here quickly to say, that God gave me the sweetest gift today. This afternoon I met a woman out at the school who shares a love of photography. She was taking pictures during the event and I asked her on a break what she was shooting with (it looked like a full-frame) and what settings she was using to not have to use flash, etc, etc... We chatted afterward and exchanged contact info. She seemed very down-to-earth, simple, and balanced with photography pursuit and motherhood.. yet she is down the road several years in experience. I'm not expecting the stranger-lady to be my best friend :) but for today, it was just what I needed. I think God gave it to me, that little gift...I had been talking to the Lord recently about wishing I could talk to someone about the photography stuff who seems to really LOVE it with me-- my family members are sweet and supportive but in the end, "oh, cool" is about all they can muster! :) And, I can't blame them! This is my passion and it doesn't stir everyone the way it does me. Often I am okay with that..but sometimes I wish I could share it with someone who saw it the way I do. A silly wish, I think-- in the scheme of life on earth vs life in heaven, my purpose, etc-- Nonetheless, I felt the sweet, tender, care of the Lord as He provided this connection today--that He cares, He hears, He sees, and He is near to me.
My cup runneth over.....
