\u00a0In the illustration above from a previous post, you will see a <span style=\"color: #ffff00;\">yellow circle<\/span> in the circle are a symbol and a number, I&#8217;ve enlarged them and put them in a <span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">red rectangle<\/span> to make them easier to see! \u00a0If you click on either of those two symbols it will bring up the comment section below the end of the post, you can then post a comment, \u00a0and I can respond. \u00a0Why is this important???!!! \u00a0First you guys have been unhappy that you could not make comments, and truthfully, your comments encourage me.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<br \/>\nWhen you step out and try to serve the Lord \u00a0it attracks a lot of attention, and the enemy does not sit still and allow what happens here, to go on without resistance. \u00a0Now my Heavenly Father has already fought and won the war, but it still has to be played out down here, and when we challenge the enemy he challenges right back. \u00a0Your comments are a constant reminder that I must keep doing this, no matter what the resistance is!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I got and email from a person that attended our recent workshop in New England, it was an incredible blessing, and encouragement to me. \u00a0I would like to pull a couple of quotes from the email.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong><span style=\"color: #deb887;\">&#8220;You know you have been a part of a remarkable adventure when you can remember every person in the group &#8211; the shared experiences, the camaraderie, and fellowship are priceless memories I will treasure!\u00a0This trip had a profound and life changing effect on me.\u00a0 I don&#8217;t believe in coincidences,\u00a0 I feel everything that happens in our lives is planned depending on the choices we make.\u00a0 I knew I was supposed to be a part of this workshop &#8211; I never doubted it for one minute.\u00a0 Over 30 years ago I accepted Jesus Christ as my Saviour!\u00a0 I confess I have not been the best Christian- but I do have a deep and personal relationship with God. \u00a0I have been missing the fellowship of like minded folks for a very long time.\u00a0 My participation in your workshop, meeting you and everyone in the group is the catalyst for renewing my faith and making it a priority in my life again. \u00a0I look forward to reading your blog every day &#8211; I don&#8217;t think you can imagine how they&#8217;ve helped me in my spiritual journey! &#8220;<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sharing this part of the note to pat myself on the back, I&#8217;ve known for a long, long time that the wonderful things that people experience at our workshops and on the blog are because of Him, not me. \u00a0I truly want to simply light a candle in the darkness for people to see and know that there is a way out of the darkness, \u00a0and into His light. \u00a0That is why I named our ministry and the workshop series His Light! \u00a0 Yes, photographers must have light to make images, but in our lives we must have His Light to come out of the dark and into His presence. \u00a0You can always send me an email, or even give me a call, all my contact info is on the Contact page, but please respond if something here touches you, it reminds me daily that God is still at work, and His will is being done. \u00a0All that is done here and at workshops is intended to be to His Glory, and His alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Don&#8217;t worry, even in complete silence, I will go on, I owe Him everything, and I will not stop until He takes me home to be with Him.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In Him,<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>the pilgrim<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; One of the things I loved about the old Pilgrim&#8217;s Chronicles was that Mobile.Me made posting comments so easy, Word Press not so much. \u00a0I miss the comments and the chance to interact with you guys, so here is the new system, not as ideal, but it does work, and here is how!
