I think Jane Austen described it best when she said,
“I cannot fix on the hour, the spot, or the look, or the words which laid the foundation. It is too long ago. I was in the middle before I knew I had begun.“
So often, we cannot pinpoint our life-changing moments. Do I reach back to my childhood and hold my dreams of shooting for National Geographic accountable, or all the hours spent earning my certificate from The New York Institute of Photography? I think it’s in my bones, but God’s calling made it real. Tangible. Possible. The exact answers kept surfacing during my mentorship with Elizabeth & George. They were instrumental in giving me a road map I desperately needed, giving me the courage to rebrand and represent myself in my work. It became effortless. Natural.
A million little miracles happened along the way, having a supportive family, healing prayer from a total stranger, obvious direction, encouragement, mentorship, financial advice, and so many more details fell into place. All orchestrated by my Creator. It’s scary. It’s uncertain, but it’s my life, and I can’t wait to step into this new adventure.
I am nine years into my banking career and hanging it up. It’s not what I was made to do. I realize I’m one of the rare few who will work for passion and not just a paycheck. I will get to do what makes me come alive, fills my soul, and stretches beyond anything I have accomplished; Photogaphy & Marketing Consulting.
God is chipping away at my sculpture only to reveal His masterpiece below. Will you let Him painstakingly do the same for you? I will forever be under construction; if it sounds like I have everything figured out, I don’t, but I’m thankful for these people in my corner who inspired, encouraged, listened, and I wouldn’t be here without them!
