Pieces of Me

While some of my world seems to be shattering, other pieces seem to be coming together.
- My trip to Haiti was cancelled due to the attacks on Americans and everything else going on over there. As I sit around in anger about my dream not being fulfilled when I was so close, I step back and look at it from a different perspective. I have to continually remind myself that there is a reason this trip was knocked out. I don't understand God's reasoning for it but I'm filled with peace knowing that he's got me under his protection which is keeping me from going. I'm Thankful!
- While that was a bad thing, there are some great things happening too! After 2.5 years of working in KIA at Trinity Church and attending for 3 years, I finally became a member 2 weeks ago! (about time, I know!) My photography business is slowly but surely sky rocketing off! I finally opened my website! Although it will be changing constantly, I think it's set up decently so far! (I really want to find a web designer to make me a super good one!) I just did a photoshoot for Mr. Wonderful(and auction of guys on campus to raise $ for Gold Jackets). It has been such a blast! 3 days, 22 guys, and I'm the boss! :) I think the best part for me was one of the guys is a preacher, and good at it, and is in my Biblical Preaching class this semester. When I found out we'd have to be preaching a sermon in that class I became very insecure! I'm one of 4 girls in a class with 21 men of which 2/3 of them I've heard preach before. I am a woman living in a man's world, I get that...which is why I feel insecure! I don't want to preach in front of them! Anyways, he comes up for his photoshoot and was nervous. That for one took my by surprise. He was constantly asking me what to do, is this okay, do I look alright, am I doing what I need to do? It was like a sense of power came over me...at that moment I realized how funny life can be. He's talented in preaching and I would get nervous in front of him, and I'm a photographer and he gets nervous in a photoshoot...It was good to see that even though I feel insecure in one area, I'm not in all and the same for him. P.S. it made me realize he is human when he got nervous! Bottom line: Bossing around guys for 3 days has been pretty fun! And they all looked so good! It's easy to take good pictures when I've got good models! Good Job guys!
- My knee is getting a lot better! Still wearing the brace but hey, at least I'm running again! 4 months of no running was wayyyy too long! Still can't sprint yet, but it's a working progress!
- New plans for the summer include: maybe moving in my apartment?! :D, taking 2 summer classes, interning at Trinity, interning at Youth Camp, and hopefully finding a job I love! I will be staying in Waxahachie, or the surrounding area, though! I'm way excited about that! Finally growing up feels good!

I suppose this is enough for now...besides I've got homework for Marriage and Family Relationship class...


*Trey, no more judging me for not posting a new blog as often as you!
