It's really amazing how God works things out. It's not like this is anything new...I'm just
constantly dumbfounded and awed by the amazing amount of attention He puts into even the smallest of details.

Like last night...we were doing our critique in my digital photography class, and the feedback I got back from my images was totally beyond what I had expected. The other people in my class (mostly older women...haha) were saying that all of my images are very emotional and really draw you in. This one lady was talking about how she saw a lot about life and death and eternity, and several other people were were saying they really got a picture of life and emotion from my pictures. These response were totally beyond what I had expected. I mean, I liked these images, and I really do attach a lot of emotion to them, but I hadn't realized that I was able to bring that out so other people could see it.

God, I'm still so amazed, and comforted by this, to know that You really are in this. It's not just me. :) It meant so much to me to hear that, because honestly, that's exactly what I want my work to evoke. For me, my photographs are very emotional. There is a reason behind everything I take a picture of - I'm realizing that. I'm drawn to certain subjects and colors and angles as a way of expressing myself. I want every inch to be brimming with emotion, to make anybody who comes across it really stop and think. And if somehow, only by God, my images can push somebody to really think about life, or death, or eternity, than, what more could I ask for? If I can inspire change and glorify my Jesus, than God...that's way more than I hoped for.
