This weekend has been very busy and its not even over yet :)
Thursday I had to work doing Boba Sessions, Friday I had more & Then Saturday I attended a workshop called Click Workshops. Its a series of workshops offered by a couple photographers here, as well as a few other states… and there is a very high possibility I may begin teaching for this workshop in the near future. So I wanted to attend one to kind of get a feel for what it was about and if I was a “click” for the group or not :)
The class was a very basic Digital Photography 101 style course… and 99% of the people in the class were just people who had really nice SLR cameras, yet had no clue how to use them properly. This class taught them how to shoot in manual, explained all about ISO, Aperture, bllluuu bleee blahhh and all that other camera jazz talk. I think the way they had it laid out was really good for a beginner. It wasn’t so advance that it confused everyone :) – yet enough to really give them a solid foundation of their gear.
What I found to be the best part, was once the students got to actually USE what they had learn on a few models… You see before your very eyes light bulbs go off in their heads :) – I loved how this one guy Joe was so excited. Saying “Look at that! Thats just amazing & no flash!” He really made my day.
Add into the mix of all this photo work, we also had a birthday party, where Owen tore up the dance floor :) – and this evening a large celebration for the 1st graders at our church…
Caleb is so excited about this… so heres hoping I can take some pictures tonight. :)
All that being said.
My working has been different. Its weird being the one to leave home dressed for work and my husband stay behind to watch the kids. Its strange not having the responsibility to school the kids on a daily basis any more. I miss it some days… some not as much ;-) – but really, this is how it has to be right now. We know its a season we are in… and we know that this season will not last.
I am just so thankful for Gods provision for our family.
How he has provided for my business so quickly after moving 2 states away from where I was based. I am thankful that my husband has adjusted well to the changes… and that throughout all of this we are both growing in so many ways.
This afternoon I came across some scripture in Ecclesiastics 3.
It says…
For everything there is a season, and a time for every matter under heaven:
a time to be born, and a time to die;
a time to plant, and a time to pluck up what is planted;
a time to kill, and a time to heal;
a time to break down, and a time to build up;
a time to weep, and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn, and a time to dance;
a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together;
a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to seek, and a time to lose;
a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
a time to tear, and a time to sew;
a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
a time to love, and a time to hate;
a time for war, and a time for peace.
So even though this season is different & at times up in the air :)
I would not change it.
It has been a blessing in so many ways.
