To God Be the Glory!!

My prayer this last week was that the Lord would stir up the gifts that He has given me- I am not sure where I have heard that- if its a verse or just something I read in a book- but sure enough in a very visual way He has shown me what those gifts were. I believed that the desires I had for sewing and photography were there with a purpose- for the sewing it brough me to Jamaica to teach young ladies to sew for a skill in making money for their families- and this week I got a email response from a nurse from a local Hospital asking me to make scrubs for her and other Nurse friends. With photography I have taken pictures of my friends kids,their families and even 1 wedding - all for the joy of doing it. I absolutely love the idea that I am able to bless someone with a gift like that will bless them for the rest of their lives and something that they can also pass on to someone else. So with that... I have been asked to do a wedding and they even want to pay me :o .. I cant believe it- I am nervous and have no idea what I am doing, but I really believe that this is God's hand and I have no doubt that they wont turn out... I give God the glory for this and feel really unworthy to have such an opportunity as making someones most important day into a photographic display to share with their children and family. I have since then offered this opportunity with a friend who also shares the same passion for photography. so I pray that this will be something that will cause her little light to shine as well. These are such small things in all of peoples eyes- but God knows how incopmetant I am and these little things mean a BIG lot of sweet kinda lovn from my Big Daddy!!!
God has given me a peace to accept these things as the gifts that He has given me and they are the desires of my heart <3 and for that I am giving all the glory to God for ALL the things that he has done for me.... things so undeserved and the picture is Soo much bigger than the little things... He is a God who has plans for you Jer. 29
:11,12- to prosper you in all that you do, your parenting, your mentoring, your growing in His word and as a dear child to the King. I look forward to growing closer to Him and all the great things He has for me- I dont want to miss out on all His goodness!! To God Be The Glory- for the things He has done.. and will continue to do.

My life is like a grab bag- you never know what is going to come out of it-!! I hope that you to know that God made you just the way you are and that you dont have to be afraid to be you!! <3 Psalms 139:13-16: For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well.
