Overwhelmed and undeserving--

So I'm sitting here today rocking a sweet baby girl to sleep and watching a Hallmark Christmas movie- don't judge me. I've done laundry, done the dishes, went to the grocery store-twice, given not one- but TWO baths today, looked for my phone for 20 min while being led to a cake pan in the cupboard that is currently storing cell phones, a pair of daddy's socks and a toothbrush... my lanta- just let me sit, rock, and enjoy this hallmark movie while this nap last. 

But that is not why I write today. Today I write because God's presence in the everyday has overwhelmed me. When I am at one of my most vulnerable, most fearful, most untrusting times- he continues to bless, encourage and fill me up with his love and comfort. I have been pouring over this new photography journey with prayer each day. Not for the extra money, honestly it's not at all about that. But instead just about me enjoying it, and getting out of the house every so often to go be with beautiful, happy families that God has privileged me to capture. 

To say I was (am) hesitant is an understatement. I want to be not good at this but excellent at it and the fear of the unknown has my flesh weak and weary. BUT, God is good and he knows Valyssa's heart. He has dropped many little things in my path this weekend, since launching my business that tells me he is walking alongside me through this journey and he wants to bless me not let me fail. 

I received a call today from a family friend and as I was telling her the story of how this has taken over I was overwhelmed. So thank you, thank you to the 12 families I've had book their family pictures with me, thank you to those who have asked questions or expressed interest, and thank you to those of you who have encouraged me in this adventure. If you know me well, you know I squeal in excitement and I'm starting to be less leary of this all and more squealy!
