This blog is no stranger to personal posts, if there’s one thing I love it’s being able to look back at where I came from, and having this blog to document the ups and downs of my personal and professional life is kinda the best. This post is going to be no different. ;]

This morning I was chatting with a friend about my dreams and goals for this year. It’s still January and I still feel like this year has so much potential for change and for new things I’m almost bursting with excitement of the possibilities and in the middle of that I got an email from a bride, she’s getting married later this year at an amazing location and everything about her email screamed “ideal client! ideal client!!”

I shared this with my friend and said: “That is a 9th wedding I would definitely take.” Because, January isn’t even over and the 8 weddings in 2012 goal I set for myself has already been reached. Her immediate response was: I love how you say “No, not a wedding photographer” and God goes “Just kidding”

Then she said, It’s because you let it go.

How true that statement is to my life. As soon as I let my dreams go and give them to God, He picks up the slack. He knows whats best for me, better than I do and He has my best interest in mind. Years ago my former youth pastor prayed that all of God’s dreams for me would come true. I’ll never forget that, and I feel like the more I let go the more God’s dreams for me actually are coming true. I am so thankful for that.

This album was delivered to a Kim & John last week and I just had to share. A gorgeous album next to my new purple chair, what’s better than that? ;]

p.s. For all of you photographers out there, this album was ordered from Madera Books, it was my first time ordering from them and oooooh how I am in love! Everyone should hold one of their albums in their hands… you’ll never want to put it down. Seriously.
