I don't even check the photos until I'm safe inside.

It's the same caution I take when I photograph a snake or a snapping turtle. The best photographs involve an element of danger.
Living with flair sometimes includes danger. We take risks; we move out of comfort zones; we endure the possibility of harm. Why? Because there's beauty and joy right on the other side. I wonder, too, if moving deeper into a life of faith requires confronting danger--seen and unseen--because that's the only way to have a clear picture of the power and victory of knowing God. That's the only way to grow faith.
If I only move ahead in my life into safe and obvious directions, maybe I need to think more about choosing avenues that call for the kind of faith that I want to have.
So I face the danger, and I move out in faith. There's a beautiful picture waiting.

I have always pushed ahead despite the risks especially if I feel the Lord has been leading me. Wouldn't it be great if we never had to risk anything, but then, we would not grow and experience all that God has for us in this life. I had a college professor tell me once that a little fear is a good thing because it keeps you on your toes in acting, writing or any enterprise. I think he was right! Thank you for taking those risks to get the great pictures. I love it! Blessings!
