God is in my work

Whenever I talk about BeachBabyKisses and people ask me how it's going or if I'm busy or whatever they may ask, I'm always so inclined to talk about God. It's amazing to think that He's been ALL over this business in so many ways. Just when I get a little prideful because I had a good month of sales, He knocks me back down with a week of no/low sales. And you know what? I'm learning to trust Him. He is in control of BBK more than I'll ever be and I want it that way.

I wrote a journal entry about a month ago I talked about feeling stressed with all my work - I had asked Him to only give me what I could handle, no more. Well, when I reread the entry last week I was feeling discouraged with a low sales month - when I read it, I just laughed with tears in my eyes. He had given me a mini vacation with my girls - while discouraged with work, I was stress-free with my family and not feeling so torn with my TIME. I realized God had answered my prayer. He continually brings work and lately it's been in waves, so I get a few orders all at once, can shoot them together, edit them, print and ship, and then I have a little break before the next wave of orders comes through. His TIME-ing is everything. (Want to know what I always capitalized TIME? See me blog post TIME :))

When I just let Him have the reigns and rest assured that He will take care of not only me, but my business too, I am able to relax a little bit. His love for ME overwhelms my soul and I'm so grateful for the opportunities He's given me through BBK - He is ALWAYS there at the beach when I shoot. I can feel God's presence and feel Him in my bones when the wind blows. It's such an amazing feeling and I love capturing memories for people. It's such a fantastic way to work and I feel really blessed God's lead me this direction.

Do you see God in this picture? I do :)
