\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

As you know, those of you that frequent this blog, from time to time I ask for you to join me in prayer for some concern or care. \u00a0This week is a very important week for His Light Workshops, and His Light Ministries! \u00a0 This week I’m honored to be a featured speaker at Photoshop World in Orlando, Florida. \u00a0Many of my best friends in the industry will be there, from my Nikon family to my Kelby Media family! \u00a0Since the countdown timer on my iPad says it’s \u00a076 days, 12 hours, 34 minutes, and 50 seconds until retirement on July 1st, there is much to do, to be prepared for the rest of my life!!!!! \u00a0Actually I know God has already been making those preparations and I’m thrilled to see what the future looks like!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The prayer request. \u00a0Since I will be exposed to a lot of new people this week, I want to ask you to pray a specific prayer for me; <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a01. \u00a0That I will know, and be in God’s perfect will for me. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a02. \u00a0That I be a light shining with God’s love to those I meet and speak to. \u00a0That people will sense something different, and they will know, that something different is Him!!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

3. \u00a0 That I will be fully prepared to share good information, wrapped in the spirit of His love, with those that come to my programs!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

4. \u00a0That I represent Jim, and His Light Workshops the very best that I can, through His power.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now, why ask for this prayer? \u00a0Simple, I’m not retiring, I’m starting a new full time job, serving my Lord in everything I do! \u00a0Jim and I are running workshops with the number one goal of ministering to the needs of others, and bringing them closer to Him. \u00a0We have already gotten on our knees and given Him this workshop company, and our lives to His service. \u00a0I know it is already a done deal. \u00a0His will, will be done. \u00a0As our brothers and sisters when you pray for us, you are agreeing that God needs to be first in all our efforts, and we all want and will accept His answers to all questions.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I also want to share with others about Stephen Hart’s new company, Jasper Imaging! \u00a0 Jim and i really love Stephen and are proud to make him a part of our company. \u00a0Stephen will be our official printer for future print sales, coming soon!!! \u00a0I feel certain that a number of very well known shooters will be joining us after they see the prints I will be displaying this week. \u00a0When someone does things right, for the right reason, their success is assured!<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Finally, I’m getting so excited about the future, Jim and I are working on some very exciting new events, new locations, and working with some great new photographers. \u00a0The future is certainly looking wonderful. \u00a0It always does when you leave it all in His hands…….<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Stay tuned for exciting updates, of what He is going to do….<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Blessings and thanks for your prayers,<\/span><\/p>\n
