So cool God is already teaching me a lesson. 
So I've been working to getting ready for a photography gallery night at my Bro Bro's house and my sis in law Emily and I was stressing and worrying editing my pics and stuff. I was already getting a little discouraged, feeling like non of my pics were good enough to sell. But then I realized that was the devil and I kept moving on. God showed me that while there will always be things I can improve on in my photography right now that was my best and to just put it out there and pray over it. So I did still a little nervous but with renewed excitement from Christ. I was working on my pics for the past 2-3 weeks and trying to get tons more stuff up and running for my mission trip while trying to stay focused at work and at church and Bible study and many other areas of my life. Needless to say it is a tad stressful but thankfully I have a wonderful Saviour to go to for comfort and encouragement and boy is He good at it. =) But finally the big day came Aug. 18 and I was running around getting last minute things done trying not to get all frazzled and praying for an amazing turn out that there wouldn't be room for people to fit in my sis in laws and Bro Bro's house. I swung by Wal-Mart grabbed my pics for the gallery and a bag of ice for the night and then started driving to Fort Worth. Well it started raining. =( trying not to get to discouraged again I just started praying and telling God I did my part now it's His turn to bring all the people and stop the rain. Needless to say the rain didn't stop but thank you Jesus that didn't prevent my friends from coming. I had a total of about 16 people to my very first gallery night and no it wasn't the hundreds I was hoping for but then God showed me He didn't need hundreds to bless me. He could use a few fish and a couple of loaves of bread. Last night I raised about $700 and it just really blessed my heart. Truly amazing to have the people I do in my life. They really have wonderful hearts and it just really really blesses me to be there friends and that God saw fit to let my path down here cross there paths for however long He sees fit. What's even cooler is God was able to use one of my other passions ( photography) to help meet another one of my passions ( serving others/missions) financial needs. Truly blessed. =) Now I'm excited to see what else He's going to do. My next goal is oct 1st I have to have I think it's $3,500 but now I feel confident once again that God will provide the way when there seems to be no way. He definately works in people's lives and I'm just excited to see what He will continue to do with mine and other people who I know and even ones I may get to know from this journey.
