Remember this post? Latest news on my cousin Courtney: I am happy to report that the prayers are working as I send out the best update yet. Courtney’s recovery has been nothing short of miraculous to this point. Courtney is coming home Wednesday. She is able to walk with a cane, and can climb stairs with the help of a banister. Obviously there is still much work to be done, particularly in her leg, but she has good mobility in her upper extremities. She will return to outpatient rehab for a couple hours a day. Currently her rehab focuses on helping her get up off the floor as she cares for Eden. (her youngest of 4 children)
As I continue to pray for my cousin Courtney who lives in Sante Fe, NM, I am reminded of how important it is to have faith. Every single Sunday I attend mass because it’s truly what helps me get through my week. A fellow photographer said the other day…. “My marketing plan: obey God and He will always provide!” Isn’t that the TRUTH? I wanted to jump for joy when I read that. I’ve thought that very same thing a million times over in my head, but was never able to put it into words. It applies to my life and my business. I haven’t advertised in a really long time…. which proves that God hears my prayers and gives me strength for my photography. He keeps me motivated to push forward. Happy clients = happy Jen!
Always remember that God hears you. I am a FIRM believer on God’s timing. Sometimes I can be so impatient with things in life – that is until I realize that I just need to wait my turn. You can’t have it all. I go to bed every night thanking God for the positive things in my life. I’m the first person to go to sleep when I have a REALLY long day of work ahead of me, but I’ve truly been soaking in my free time. Being responsible will always pay off, you just have to remember to have some fun, too :) It’s all about balance and learning to work hard and celebrate life. I’ve been enjoying the crawfish boils, nice weather, home cooked dinners at home with my hubby and time spent with family and friends. I realize in the future months as I decide to cut back on work… this will only lead to a new road ahead. Thank you to the clients who will continue to come back and keep their faith in me!!
In my free time lately, I’ve been listening to Joyce Meyer Ministries. She gives extremely motivating sermons just about every day on her website. When sitting at my desk editing, often times this is what I am listening to. Good, positive, encouraging thoughts! It’s amazing what our minds are capable of soaking in…
