He is amazing, simply amazing!

Yesterday I had a conversation with a close friend and the point of the talk was about how unsure the future seems to be.  We were not talking politics or the economy we were talking about workshops!  Some times you run a workshop and it goes slow, sometimes better.  My friend said what makes you think that next years schedule will be well accepted?    My automatic response was, “I trust God with the workshops and everything else in my life!”     I didn’t give it much thought, it was just how I try to see my life.

 

Tuesday afternoon I announced the 2013 schedule for His Light Workshops.  Since the first workshop is not until March of next year I didn’t expect a lot to happen this early.  Today by noon less than two days later, we have filled 44 of the entire 80 spots available for all of next year!!!  Wow, I’m simply amazed, by an amazing God!  I believe this is a great indicator that we are on the right track in our effort to serve Him.   I further believe that the scripture that says “Seek first the Kingdom of God  and and all these things will be added unto you.”  And I might add as is said later in Scripture even “the desires of your heart!”   I’m thrilled that we are off to such an incredible start,s but I’m even more thrilled that we can see we are following the path God has set before us.  A month ago Jim and I were talking about what to do next and he said it best, “Do what He has told us to do, and trust in Him….”    I knew Jim was a great photographer, it was news to me that he was some what of a prophet!

 

Jim was absolutley right, in everything we do, we do it to His glory, and for His Names sake.  The rest is up to Him.  It shouldn’t  be surprising that He is in fact more than capable of doing what ever He desires!  I’m just thanful His will has been to bless us!

 

Thank you Father for loving us so much!

    That mystery photographer looks like the very talented and most gracious Cliff Zenor, whom I had the pleasure to learn from at several GAPWs. I cannot pass up the opportunity to tell anyone reading this what a great photography teacher he is. Being able to do something well (he’s an excellent photographer) doesn’t guarantee that you can teach it, but Cliff can. In addition, he is one of the nicest guys…probably had something to do with riding around for 100,000 miles in a Suburban with Bill!…and that’s why your workshops are filling fast.

    Thanks Paul that sure is Cliff, one of my dearest friends in photography and I agree with you a wonderful man and photographer! As far as riding with me, that might have hurt more than helped him!

    Hi Bill,

    This is my first time reading your blog, and I just wanted to thank you for this article. I’m a Christian and currently working half the week as a wedding photographer. I would love to go full-time with photography and just concentrate on my business, but having to remind myself to just trust in the Lord. Your blog was a big encouragement, so thanks again.

    May God continue to bless you,

    Andi.
