[Psalms23]

Hey, I thought this was interesting and figured I would share this with you.

Lately, I have been thinking about getting a new job and leaving Camp Tecumseh YMCA. Like I was telling you in the job thread...I have been working there 9 years and have done everything that you can do there...Ive done it all..right now im on the cleaning crew...I have been doing this for a year..Its not bad job..im one of six kids..use to cleaning..nothing new for me...But i'm starting to wonder if its my time to leave camp and their toilets and get a new job else where (even though the place is amazing). Today as I was working and jamming on my ipod to Jeremy Camp's Beyond Measure...I found a piece of paper on the floor. It had a verse on it. I would like to share this verse with you.

"For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all you heart."
Jeremiah 29:11-13

Are you thinking what I am thinking? I have NO doubt that the Lord had the verse on that piece of paper and placed it where I would be cleaning today. Its amazing how God works things out!

God is Good!

Soooo very COOL!! You'll have to keep us updated on what happens. I'm sure something exciting is around the corner for you. Wouldn't it be wonderful if it was with photography? You really have an eye for fantastic pictures. I'll keep in you prayer.

That's one of my favorite Scriptures.

I love that verse, and I agree....God definitely planted that one for you! He's so amazing like that!

My mom and I had a long heart to heart one night because people keep telling me I should look into a career in photography...and don't get me wrong, I LOVE photography (as you know) but I just feel like God has always pushed me more towards working with children and keeping photography as a hobby. But after a year of getting nowhere with the teaching, I really started to doubt myself, and wonder if maybe I had been going against what God wanted for me all along. Maybe he really did want me to give up teaching and do photography. I prayed and prayed for months and mom and I had that talk that night...then we went to get a chocolate (she has Dove chocolates with little fortunes inside)....I usually don't eat them because they're dark chocolate and I'm not a fan of the dark...but I took one, opened it up and inside it said "Do what feels right." I had no doubt that God picked that one out for me for a reason! And after more praying, I know that God definitely wants me to put the kids first and photography second.

It just might be the opposite for you hehe....photography first, children second.

I'll keep you updated as time goes...I think I am going to start looking for a new job once summer camp is over with. I don't want to up and leave in the time they need me to most...plus once I do leave..its going to be very hard since I have been there 9 years..but i know that I cant leave on my own with the money I am making now and Im really ready to move out of my parents place. I am VERY excited to see what the Lord has around the corner for me!! Thanks a lot for the amazing comments on the photography and also thanks for the prayers!!
