...to take pictures of the sunset.
One day I prayed and asked God to give me something I could really be passionate about. I have always been passionate about God, and my family/friends, but I needed something for ME. Something that made me feel good from the inside out. Something was missing, and I didn't know what it was, but I knew that if God answered this prayer, I would nurture the outcome and give it my all. I'm a great starter, but my follow-through has not always been up-to-par. One thing I know about me is that I get excited about new adventures quickly, and I get bored even quicker. This time, I knew that I had to be intentional. I knew that this would be different. This time, it wasn't happening from a survival standpoint. This time it was being birthed from a place of growth. This time was personal.
I was walking the lake with my family, and as the sun began going down, I pulled out my cell phone to take a few pictures. If you've never had the chance to experience an Oklahoma sunset at Lake Hefner - I'm so sorry! You are truly missing out on one of God's most profound creations. Every sunrise and sunset feels like such a gift, and in my younger days, I just didn't have the appreciation for them that I have now. The pictures I captured with my phone were actually so astounding, I KNEW I had to buy a camera. I couldn't help but think about my prayer from 3 months ago. Obviously, I thought "If my phone can take pictures like THIS, just imagine what a real camera could do!" So, I bought a camera to take pictures of the sunset. That was over 2500 clicks ago, and to this day, I still haven't taken a single sunset photo. That passion though - I found it!
Have Fun With Your Life,
