“You have made known to me the path of life; You fill me with joy in Your presence, with eternal pleasures at Your right hand.” Psalm 16:11
One year ago today, I was blessed with God’s grace and His gift of my DSLR camera. I have always loved taking pictures. My high school junior and senior year were spent working as part of the year book staff. My first year of college my major was photojournalism. The decisions I made the next few years, changed the course of my education. I changed my major to education with a double major in Spanish and Communications with a minor in ESL. Here I am 12 years later, watching-trusting God unfold that very same desire. If you read the about me tab, it tells a little more about how this all began.
However, this morning I cannot go on about my day with thanking God. He has guided my every step. I still don’t know what this journey will bring along the way or the direction it is going. I do know where it leads. It leads to bring Him honor and glory every step of the way. So far along the way, He has brought conviction, forgiveness and personal growth. He has also blessed me with the opportunity to meet some Amazing people, especially kids. These encounters have forever changed my life. I pray for them daily. I know it was not a coincidence that we were able to cross paths. Hopefully you needed something I could give-a positive word, lend an ear, someone to pray for you or with you, a new perspective. Maybe at our appointment, I walked away with something you had for me-a new perspective, encouragement, gentleness, and zeal.
Thank you to everyone who has taken a chance this year and given me the opportunity to shoot photographs of you, your children, or your families. It has been a true honor. Thank you to the Price family who sowed into my dream. You are such a blessing in my life! Thank you for your friendship. Thank you Kelly for believing in me from day 1. God is up to big things in your life. Thank you for calling me a friend.-That is a true compliment. Stacey, at WHP Designs for designing my logo. Thank you for sharing your gift with me. It will represent me well. Thank you for my 8 subscribers. You may say huh? Only 8. Although I have many that frequent my blog, I know among these subscribers there are 3 of my biggest fans. Not fans in the since they think I am great. These fans have cheered me on and believed in me even in the moments I haven’t. They have been pillars of faith. Standing and believing with me even before this started unfolding. They have prayed with me or for me. They have given their advice and opinion on different aspects. They love me and they know God’s potential in my life. Thank you, Daphne, Michelle, and Shelley.
My prayer for you reader, is that you are able to see the beauty in ALL God created. As I look back for images to attach to this post, I see the huge ways that God has grown my work. He is so faithful! Please continue to pray for me. I am excited to see what lies ahead. However, I want every step to be led by the Holy Spirit.
Thank you~Veronica
