God always works in such crazy ways and sometimes it just takes you to sit down and reflect to make you really realize it. I've been reflecting on our adoption journey a lot lately. I've been so crazy busy that I realized I really haven't had much time to really even worry or stress much about the adoption. With everything else going on in our lives, God somehow decided to plant a seed in my little head to start a photography business on the side and this "business" has been taking up every waking spare moment of my life. I have met some incredible people this fall and I want to truly thank each and every person who has let me take their fall pictures this year. It has been such a time commitment for me that it has replaced the nights that I would be sitting in front of my computer reading successful adoption stories on blogs, tears streaming down my face and wondering why it wasn't us that was picked. Instead, I am faced with editing pictures every night. Staring at the faces of these families and children and laughing at some of the hilarious outtakes. The glimmer in their eyes, dimples in their cheeks, and wind burned faces places comfort in my heart knowing that our family has hope for that completion feeling someday too.
I went to school to be a teacher but never taught. God is using my creativity in a way that I never imagined. Where will this photography side business take me? Who knows. But for now, I am loving every second of it and loving the distraction is has provided for me. And look at how super cute my logo turned out?! I love it and it is SO me!
