giving Praise

1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 (New Living Translation)
16 Always be joyful. 17 Never stop praying. 18 Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus.
This morning I’m truly joyful, last night I got to do some flying, that always makes me happy. Today I’m finishing packing for a trip to Boulder, Colorado to join my team members for a great seminar on video techniques. I’m always excited to spend time with our team and I am really getting excited about learning more about video. The new plane will be delivered mid June and I’ve already built mounts for 4 video camera locations that will record flights for several different perspectives. These video clips can then be added to stills to build some exciting new programs. I’m really pumped.
Now the other side is I’m leaving Sherelene and the family for a week. I’ve had a slower than usual May and the wonderful staying close to home time is over, June is going to be a bear. Don’t get me wrong, I love my job and part of my job is travel, and lots of it. June will not offer much time at home, but it will offer a great opportunity to spend time with dear friends. At Bio Communications I will get to fellowship with a great group of medical shooters I’ve come to care a great deal for over the years. Next up is Reno Pylon School and a several days with Richard Small, Moose Peterson and his wonderful family and Mike Anskat out outstanding repair tech. You will have to endure lots of airplane images that week. The month ends with a new event for me, EnVision a high school students photojournalism event, should be fun with the fine folks at Western Kentucky University PJ staff.
O.K. I’m not bragging, I’m sharing with you how our Heavenly Father wants us to look at life. Embrace it and be excited about what He has provided for us. Everything that comes our way is his will for us, if we are living in Him. Each of these assignments will have opportunities to reach out and love others with His love and for His glory. Before each trip I pray that God will use me to bring encouragement and His love to others. He always answers that prayer, for that is His will for all of us.
Over the next several days I will share with you what exciting things that are happening. Fasten your seat belt, God has given me some time to rest, I know Him and the fun starts now!
