Today I was praying...in my "prayer closet", AKA the shower, asking God what His will was regarding photography and my job in general...and it came to me that this blog should not only be about photography...but about Christ b/c that is where the name Eternal Focus Photography came from. I had been stumped about a name, I wanted a name that reflected Him...I came up with "Caputuring His Art"...but I didn't think people would get it...who's art? Besides that, it wasn't very catchy, anyway...I prayed about a name as well, and Eternal Focus Photography was the outcome.
My dream was to use this career as a way to "get out of the office" express my love for art...and tell others about Christ. Ultimately I thought if this got BIG enough Anthony and I could become a husband wife team, photographing weddings internationally. WOW!!! I know right? But I was thinking if we could become international photographers we could travel world-wide photographing beautiful wedding ceremonies...and witness/share the gospel world wide at the same time....mannnnnnnnn!!!!!!!!! Talk about obeying the great commission!!!!!!!!! I still get excited thinking about it.
My delimma: While this sounds like a fantabulous job and plan in theory....is it in fact God's will for my life? I don't know and that is what this blog will be more about...my journey to find God's will. I know I'm supposed to witness...and God has made it clear to me that I"m supposed to teach others how to witness as well, but that is the end of what I know to be a for "SURE" thing.

Please join me in prayer. As often as you see my name or picture pop up in facebook, or if you happen to think of me in passing...say a prayer that I listen and am able to detect God's will for my life. Check in from time to time and even "FOLLOW ME" through this blog if you'd like. Make comments from time to time just to let me know someone is out there :) There's no telling exactly what the topic may be about....but in the end I hope it leads me as well as you to find our place in His Plan.
By the way....I'm totally singing "My Place In this World" by Michael W. Smith, because of that last line in the above paragraph....talk about old school, lol!
