Soli Deo Gloria

A little more than a month ago, I wrote about creativity and how all the glory belongs to God. And since then, it's been such an exciting journey! God opened doors to things that I never thought I was interested in or dared to even try. I attended the prophecy seminar at Grace Retreat and I was really touched by what my partner spoke over me. Ben Armstrong told us to get a taste of the person - and my partner said that she tasted butter. She told me that butter is in all kinds of food - adding flavor to it. She said that in the same way, my creativity will add flavor to many things. It was really encouraging to hear. Since then, God has also been giving me amazing opportunities throughout the summer to be able to serve through my talents. There have been so many opportunities to photograph families and I definitely learned a lot from these experiences (some pictures can be found here)

Also, there have been limits that I consciously and subconsciously have placed for myself. However, God's been surpassing these limits and have been placing new things into my heart. Recently, I've been interested in design and typography (I didn't know you could download free fonts online until a few weeks ago!). I learned that with Adobe Illustrator you can scan an image you drew on paper and just trace it. Then it'll be an electronic file. How cool is that? And this summer has been full of video projects. This is one of the boundaries I wasn't trying to cross. I told myself I was a photographer, not a videographer and that videos took too much work. But now I am involved in a fitness video project at the Eppley Recreation Center! I'm excited for greater things God has in store for all of us as we learn more.

Also, my camera equipments have been going through a roller coaster right now but I am trusting God that good things will come out of brokenness (broken lenses).

(I was randomly reflecting on my blog title and I realized how fitting it is. Walking with the Lord is such a journey - a journey full of all kinds of emotions, but with full hope and confidence in Him. It's never like I quite imagined it to be, but it's exciting walking with God!)
