becoming reality.

once upon a time a girl had a really cool older brother [and still does! ;)]. this older brother had a canon powershot S2. and that camera was amazing. in her eyes anyways. that's when the dream began..the dream to become a photographer. but then my really cool older brother sold the camera! i was devastated! how in the world was i supposed to further my *ahem* skills without a camera?! but God already knew.. soon after the horrid event my dad bought a canon 5D for the business..freeing the canon rebel to stay at home. happily in the hands of, you guessed it..me. :) fast forward a few years and a lot of learning.. people are now pushing me to make the dream come true. i personally don't think i'm that great. i worry that people won't like my pictures. that they won't turn out. i'll order the wrong thing. maybe someday i'll be amazing. people come to me anyways, asking me to take their pictures. i smile and gladly agree. i get all jittery and excited about the upcoming event. then it arrives and my mind freezes..why, oh why can't i think of a creative pose? or something to say that would make them laugh? if it weren't for God, no photo i take would turn out. i don't know how it happens, but somehow He uses me to capture the moment, hopefully bringing joy to a soul. if only for a bit. but it made them smile and i thank my Father. maybe someday i'll be able to use this budding talent to bring souls to Him. only He knows and only He can advance my skill.
