I seriously love odd Thomas and his verse on misconception on lecraes new mix tape church clothes.
Being a “good person” doesn’t get you into heaven.
I can sleep.. There’s so much on my mind right now..
Tomorrow I have to work an 8 hour shift and then cram as much as possible before my algebra final.. Which doesn’t make any sense to my brain… I seriously feel like I might fail. It just doesn’t comprehend..
On top of that I was asked the other night if I would shoot a weddin in June… Which would be my first one EVER… And I’m trying to decide if I’m ready for it or not.
I know I have to jump at some point but I don’t want to jump too early and mess it up.. You only get one shot at this and if you mess up, the bride hates you forever and you get a bad wrap… That’s the BEST case scenario.
If I did decide to do it, it would be the weekend after I help Jeremy Ellsworth with a wedding in KC so it’d still be fresh in my brain.. But there’s still the equipment to worry about Renting and the fees for that..
But then there’s the check I’d get for doing it which could buy some sweet equipment..
It just all a big decision..
I think I need to make a pros and cons list
And a needs list.
Probably Thursday. Tomorrow I have enough to worry about..
Goodnight.
My first wedding(photography) is 6months away, and I’m starting to feel like I’ll never be prepared enough…
What I have to offer
I was walking into Starbucks the other day, and as I walked in I saw Miles Witt Boyer there in line with his bag and I could tell he was there for business. He was there to edit photos. Well, I knew this would be an opportune time to be able to talk to him as I was there to do the exact same thing. So as I was sitting down (across the table from him) we just began to chat about, what else, but photography (Its what photographers talk about…go figure).
Well something that I had talked to him about was internships and what it would take to get one with him and it came up again while I was sitting at the table with him in starbucks.
We talked about ALOT of other things and he released information and tips that seem important freely and it was awesome, but he told me while we were talking about this particular subject that he wished he could bring on another intern and hinted that he wants me on, which was amazing to me. But I was thinking about it this morning, and I realized that I have something to offer him as well. He has head knowledge but I have spirit knowledge for him! I feel like holy spirit told me that “because I tithe, I have an opportunity to be better than Miles”
I feel like I have an opportunity to sow into him and his family, but I have to 1)know who I am and who I serve, and BE me, and 2)release what I’m hearing Holy Spirit say in the moment.
I declare that I will walk in whatever YHWH has for me, and of that’s an internship, I will walk into it with what I have to offer and be who I am, a man of excellence.
Love thy neighbor;
if the Kony 2012 thing has shown me anything, its that there are always things to stand up for and people to help.
Im reminded today of when i first got into To Write Love On Her Arms, and as i went back and watched the intro video, I remembered the first time i watched it.. i cried back then, and i cried again today.
The fact of the matter is, even when Kony is caught, it won’t stop the hurting. People will always hurt. there will always be people who need to see the love of Christ and know there is hope and people who truly care, not what you have to offer, but that you exist. I belief thats what he spoke of when he said “love your neighbor as you love yourself”, that unconditional love for people in order to show the hurting that they are not alone, they don’t have to hurt anymore, and there is hope.
I’m feeling this is a time for the Body of Christ to rise up, truly lay your life down for someone, and ‘Love thy neighbor’.
