JUNE THEME: NOW {Changing}

“The key to change…is to let go of fear.”  ~Roseanne Cash

I’m taking risks. Something about this theme has sparked some sort of fire in my brain, along with a swift and serious kick in the booty by some photographer friends, who didn’t hold back.  Thank you, Katie.  Thank you, Barbara.

I admit that this is a sudden departure from the shooting style you’ve come to know me by.  But really, it was always in me.  It had just gotten lost in the muck and mire of losing myself and trying to be what I thought I had to be.  I was afraid to post this….thinking it too much.  But I’m rebuilding the dream.  Rebuilding the self.  I’ve let go of some things recently that were hard…unhealthy things that although I didn’t realize it at first, began to have negative effects on my life and heart.   Mostly, my heart.  And my peace.  And my joy.

Today, I rested upon this scripture which was so needed today.  I pray it will bring you comfort if you too, happen to be going through something…that has robbed your peace.

Isaiah 55:12-13 (New International Version)

¹² You will go out in joy
and be led forth in peace;
the mountains and hills
will burst into song before you,
and all the trees of the field
will clap their hands.

¹³ Instead of the thornbush will grow the pine tree,
and instead of briers the myrtle will grow.
This will be for the LORD’s renown,
for an everlasting sign,
which will not be destroyed.”

Moving forward.  Now.
