I am determined

So lately I have been getting a bit discouraged about photography. Just when I think I am doing "ok" and maybe getting better, I see some really awesome photos others have taken. Instead of getting discouraged, I know I need to let it inspire me. I have a huge passion for photography at the same time a fear of not being good enough so it makes me hold back. I do have much more to learn about this art and am excited yet overwhelmed. I get plenty of encouragement from my darling husband and lots of compliments from family and friends though, so that's good thing. Thanks guys! ...I want to capture beautiful, interesting images for a living. That is my hearts desire, now if only my brain would catch up and help me understand all the technical stuff I might just take an amazing picture...in my eyes.

Amazing people...

My friend April had told me about this couple's blog that writes your babies name, that has gone to be with the Lord, in the sand at sunset and then takes a picture and sends it to you. She recently did my friends baby twins Erin and Tyler. I just spent the last 15-20 min. reading her blog and crying and hurting so much for parents that have lost a child. It is truly amazing, the strength they have. What this couple is doing to help other couples going thru the same thing is such a blessing. I can't imagine the grieving you go threw after loosing your baby and at first I was saying to myself, I don't even know where you would find the strength to go on and then I read this mother's story and thru my tears and heartache for her, she reminded me that God truly is amazing and can bring you thru anything "Although sorrow holds my hand and suffering sings me songs, when I close my eyes I know to whom I belong, who makes me strong".

I added the link to my blog so go and check it out. I hope it blesses you the way it did me! It's the one called "Name in the Sand".
