Part time jobs....

Any suggestions on what I should do? I just want something for 15-20 hours a week... and it has to be super flexible because of my photography random schedule that I might up and leave for a few days to shoot this and that. Thoughts? Ideas?

Engagements of Best Friends




Are great...

Becky and Chris came to Reedley this weekend. So great to see them! We went out, took pictures around Reedley, laughed a ton, even went to Hume Lake on Sunday to show Chris the wonders of it all. Beloved Stephanie joined us and a new, fun friend Marco came out to spend the night as well. So joyful, so refreshing, so fun.

Just some thoughts...

I've had a lot on my mind over these past few weeks. I've been working hard, trying to make sure I'm covering all of my "business" ventures but I keep feeling like I'm drowning. See, I have to purchase this and that (ie business license, etc.) but with what money? My clients keep canceling so obviously I'm doing something wrong, but what??? And now, I fear that two more clients are going to cancel because I haven't heard back from them for over a week concerning the contracts I sent. (And the contracts stated all the things we had covered and agreed upon.) So what am I missing? Personality? Small feet? I just don't know!

So now I keep having to face each day, working from my home, wishing I were around people. I keep contemplating getting a part time job but where? Reedley is not really full of fruitful businesses to work for a few hours a week. Volunteering? Definitely a possibility but again, the question of where?

I feel vulnerable, nervous, sick to my stomach when I think of the money that I so willingly borrowed and now owe back (plus interest). What's gonna happen? I just don't know.

Thankfully, the Lord ALWAYS provides. Right now I feel in a dark place and I feel alone but I keep having to remind myself that I'm not actually alone, someone is there with me while I roam around in this darkness. And light will be at the end of the tunnel and all of the unknowns will fall into place... always does.

So through this I praise God! I praise Him for these struggles, for the unknown, for the trials, for the lack of money and the need for it in order to accomplish all this business stuff, and I simply praise Him for creating me, loving me, dying for me, and allowing me to call Him Father.
