God does work in mysterious ways...and the older I get, the more I see that His ways are definately not our ways. As a photographer, I can surmise that there are times my pictures turn out a lot different that I thought they would. Yes, even in this day of digital previews of every image on my monitor, I'm often surprised once I get home and excitedly view each shot...only to find out, in most cases, how great that shot really was. That's a good thing in my world.
I knew when we moved to Napa Valley 15 years ago that it would be temporal, but what I didn't know was that we would be moving back to Flagstaff. We, my husband Dan and I, assumed we would buy land in middle Arizona, build a vineyard and open a photography/pr studio and accounting firm. Great picture hun?
Well, such is life that the Good Lord would have us move back to the mountains of Flagstaff. We knew in our hearts it would be a good picture, the sunsets, majestic hillsides, aspens, urban trails and the heartbeat of our life...our son, his wife and...our precious granddaughter.
What we didn't know was the picture was even better than we imagined.
Such is life...such is the heart of our God, always looking out for us in every capacity...be from directing my lens or directing our lives, He is in control and more often than not, He'll work in mysterious ways.
