"When God wants us to move, He makes us uncomfortable", and in the midst of the move...we also grow. Oftentimes, we are "comfortable" in our situation that we don't even realize it's time to move...so God makes what was once comfortable...uncomfortable. Sometimes, that feeling comes out of nowhere- you wake up one day, and the thing that brought you joy or excited you doesn't give you joy; instead, you find it's bringing you more stress than peace; that's when its time to move! Then there are those times that you have been extremely uncomfortable for a while; it keeps you up at night and keeps you in a constant state of mental or emotional turmoil; again, it's time to move!
Sometimes multiple factors keep us feeling stuck and immobilized with fear; the fear of the unknown can be scary. We deprive ourselves of happiness and opportunities for fear of moving. Sometimes not moving is wise, and other times your inability to make a move can bring you more harm the longer you stay.
I have found the older I get, the less tolerance I am to stay in situations that don't serve me. I believe I am more intuitive when it comes to feeling God's nudges when He needs me to move vs. waiting until I am so uncomfortable; it becomes painful. Let's be clear, just because God moves me, doesn't mean I don't question if it's going to work out. I just have to remind myself that God has NEVER forsaken me or led me down a path that did work out for my good.
Being uncomfortable often gives us the little push and motivation we need to change course; the need to move turns to urgency because our peace is compromised. That happens to be another thing I have learned as I have gotten older; my peace is more valuable than the fear of change of the unknown.
With that being said, I want to announce that I am stepping away from photography as my full time career. I will still accept some clients on the side at my own pace so I’m able to place my main focus on my family. Appointments that are scheduled for the year are still confirmed as well.
I want to thank those of you from the very bottom of my heart, who have supported me through this journey over the past 6 years. Photography has been a blessing to me and my family and I couldn’t have made it possible with out you all. So thank you for allowing me to capture some of your life’s most precious memories, I will always cherish every single one .🤍
