No, it's not the something new that goes with the wedding stuff! Although I am so excited to hopefully pick up my new wedding gown very soon! :)
The something new is what I hinted at during my last blog post. Joey and I are starting a photography/ design company called GeekRock Design! Actually, it's mostly Joey that's taking on this venture - I'll be doing photo shoots with him, but he's masterminding the design part and most of those little details! Take a look at www.geekrockdesign.com !!!!
We also will have a blog over there that will show blog posts of recent photo shoots (and some past ones to give some back story).
We're really excited about what's unfolding!
Joey and I have tossed around the idea of combining our personal blogs (not connected with photography) and that's still a possibility. It would probably mean a higher frequency of posts. I'll keep ya posted on what we do with that and what the blog will change to if it changes.
"Hey Joey, now what was that guys name again?"
I asked this question to my fiance this morning as I was driving to work. The no-name, or rather forgotten-named, guy mentioned was a fellow that we met yesterday while trying to get Joey's school crisis figured out.
Honestly, I'm not the greatest at remembering names. I try really hard on most occasions, but even on my best days, I don't get it every time. Yesterday was different.
I realized this morning that the reason that I had not remembered this guy's name is not because I'm just not that great at it, but rather that I didn't really care. Yep, I didn't care who he was, what his story was, or whether he knew Jesus or not. The only thing I cared about in that moment is what Guy could do for Joey in making this school thing happen. Not who he was, but what he could do for us.
God, I pray that you would change this is in me. Change my heart and mind about people. Let me not just look at them for what could do for me - how wicked and selfish - but as who they are, as what they need. Help me to see how I can serve them, and love them well, instead of focusing so much on myself (or even selfishly wanting those I love to get what they want and need).
I know that his job is to be a resource and help, and that is much appreciated. But God, teach me to love like you love, to really love.
