After Training

   So after I found out that I got a job I knew I would have to go for training. The past weeks I have been working on being trained, but today I actually went out on the job and took photographs! This was very exciting to me. I was nervous no doubt!! I prayed to God a lot yesterday to calm me down and He made me realize that it is all in His hands. He wants me here and now doing this photography job for a good reason whether for me or for someone else whether it goes bad or good there is a very good reason. There have been times when I have been very nervous and I have prayed to God, I mean really took the time to pray. I can't even explain the great peace He can give my heart. It sure doesn't come from me because I always feel nervous ;) So today went good for the first day taking photos of children. I can't help thinking when I would be doing this with my sister and I would play office of some sort when we were little and we were doing this kind of things for fun or to pass the time. However, this is in the real world and a little more stressful, but I catch myself sometimes almost having fun and in the midst of memories with my little sister playing years ago that we pretended to have a job like this.
    The best part of this job so far is getting to see all the different kids and taking a memorable picture that they may have for years, even if it is just a basic school photo. Also to feel like I have a purpose in taking photographs for these kids and their parents. I hope there are more days like this! The people I worked with today were so encouraging and calm at my small mistakes and made me feel good about my strong points. I praise God for opening this job up to me and helping me through each step of the way!
