It’s almost midnight…and I gotta train at 7:30am…and then go to work all day!
Then back to church…
But…it is all good! Just wondering how I will feel tomorrow when the alarm goes off? And I am so sore…I hope she will give my butt (literally) a rest…and work on a different part of me! My food was much better today…
The meeting I went to tonight was a preacher you can see on TV(won’t say who)…he is visiting for the next two days. He has been in ministry for over 30 years and God uses him to really touch people. I saw him before, someone with his ministry invited me to see him before I got married and was on the 5th row…right in front of him. We also got to arrive in a special bus…and come through the stage door to our seats. When I went that time, I felt the Holy Spirit so strong, and my hands were burning the whole time. Tonight we were just part of the crowd…and I was tired.
It is a blessing to see so many hungry for God. To experience Him…and know Him more.
I held a baby for a mom that was sitting close to us. She looked so tired…and extra hungry. As I held him…I thought of all the babies out there somewhere with no mommy or daddy to hold them tonight, babies that are hungry with no place to lay their heads…sent out a special prayer for them. And told God I had a dream that God will let me help them one day…some how.
Been dreaming about starting my own business…and think God is encouraging me to do that. I have been a portrait artist and a portrait photographer…so thinking about doing both…but waiting for God to make it clear. Getting “signs”.
First one…a longing…then people started calling me and asking me to photograph an event for them. Lately it is Anne Geddes. Went to the bookstore and her book was there…it jumped out at me. Then, on vacation, when I got on the treadmill…there she was again…with Martha Stewart…talking about how peaceful it was to photograph babies. Then…a woman I used to work with (I didn’t remember her) came into the Cultural art building where I work sometimes and told me how I was so nice to her when she did a workstudy and was nervous as a student…but I had totally befriended her. Well…turns out, she is a portrait photographer…so we have been talking. She said she thinks I am ready to do it…she saw some of my work. Then a dear buddy here has offered to build me a website…so I can begin to show my work. Today, went to a local photographer’s website and just looked…and got excited.
It looks like something is in the works…but I will take it one step at a time and trust God to lead me!
Well…this was supposed to be a short blog…but sometimes stuff just comes up and out!
Have a great day…
I might be back on in the daytime…but I will see…since I will be at work.
I have missed so many blogs today!!!!!
I would love to see your work!
Have a great time training tomorrow morning.
Chrisie your ability to wait on God is unbelievable! You sound so sure and so confident in your faith and I love that! I would also LOVE to see your work - I loved the picture of the dragonfly you sent me!!!
Relish in the soreness - it is TANGIBLE proof you are making progress - so go on with your bad self!!!
You will do an amazing job, I’m sure because you are an amazing person with substantial faith in moving in God’s time. Glad to see you doing so well, I’ve missed you. I’m trying to work my way back to being faithful here. Say a prayer for me!
I love Anne Geddes. Babies really are the most wonderful form of art. You will do fantastic! You have such a beautiful heart and God will definitely lead you exactly where you need to be.

Hey guys! Thanks for the words of encouragement…
Checking in very quickly on my way to the shower…
We worked on my lower back and arms…lots of arm work…so the butt got a break! Yeah!!!
Holly!!!!!!!!!! Praying peace and joy sweet sister! Welcome back!!!!
I LOVE Anne Geddes! How can you not, right? It sounds like wheels are in motion for you Chrisie…very exciting!
Good luck with JILLIAN
hey, just a biology reminder…. when your body gets worked out that much so you are sore, your body realizes those tissues need more mitochondria — simply put, those little buggers stave away soreness by populating themselves and then your muscles work less anaerobically.
after a few workouts, you will notice less soreness until there is absolutely no soreness even though you work out really hard….
just my fun thought for today… i love that stuff! weird, i know. geek, yeah, i know…
i desperately need a great portrait photographer!! we haven’t had a good family pict for years!!
Deborah…I would LOVE to take your family’s picture! Would probably be beautiful in the fall!
help…I need mitochandia!!!!
Wow, Chrisie! Got is really opening up doors for you!! How awesome that you went to a meeting where you could really feel His spirit! Hope you aren’t too sore today! Hugs!
