Overwhelmed... with Joy!

I frequently have to remind myself that things may not always go the way I planned, but God is working on something better. He has a bigger, better plan.

I sit here tonight, thankful that things don't always go the way I had planned. I'm wrapping up the final edits from a newborn session I shot earlier this week and I can't help but to feel overwhelmed with joy!

I'm so thankful that God has a greater plan for my life than the plan I had. He has blessed me with the ability to do what I love. I get to be a stay-at-home mommy and freelance photographer. How awesome is that???

I encourage you tonight to seek out what it is that God has planned for your life. What talents has He given you? How can you use those talents not only uplift Him, but to help you live the greater life that He has planned for you. How can you use those talents to bless those around you? Each of us is unique. We each have our own gifts and abilities. We ALL have a purpose. It's up to us to figure out what our talents are and discover what it is that we were made to do. If you're not sure what your talents are, spend time praying that God will reveal them to you. In time, your purpose will be revealed. It may not happen overnight, but it will happen. There is a bigger and better life out there! When you begin to discover these things, you too will be overwhelmed with joy!

I LOVE what I do. I am so thankful for the talents I do have. Photography has connected me with some of the most amazing and sweet people. To all of my clients, I want to say that you are so awesome! You each have a special place in my heart and you have helped make my journey amazing. I love you all!

I hope that this post was encouraging to you. Now, go figure out what it is that you need to be doin'! Good night and God bless!
