I work hard, I study but nothing tangible has appeared.
My faith has me swimming in a sea of uncertainty.

I say swimming because of the everything involved;
Swimming is not for the lazy or faint of heart.
I have to courage to go to 8 feet of water
when I’m only 5 feet tall
knowing my feet will not touch the ground.
Because water is such a strong force
I have to be strong enough to move with it.

And my personal challenge right now -
trying to coordinate breathing with the strokes.
That takes skills and whole lot of self-motivation.
That’s probably not very hard; it’s definitely not the easiest activity.
And I have to want to do it.  No one can do it for me.
So, yes, my faith has me swimming in a sea of uncertainty.

Hebrew 11:1 (KJV) says “Now faith is the substance of things hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.”
Those words look good on paper, but the reality is
I have to work hard, pray, cry, work and pray some more and
believe that what I am working toward is really going to happen.
That’s hard when I don’t see tangible results.

But, God throws in life jackets and other lifelines
to help keep my faith afloat.
While I am working, praying, crying and believing,
I get signs to let me know I am moving in the right direction.
These victories also keep me focused and provide motivation
for me to keep moving.
Did I mention that drowning is NOT an option?
So, as you can see, my faith has me swimming in a sea of uncertainty.

Enjoy! And please provide feedback and advice if you’re a professional photographer.

We were told to create a board that expresses things we want for our futures.  The sky was the limit.  You see that my board is full.

My wealthy future

My wealthy future

My board shows my blogs ranking very high within the next 2 weeks.  I’m going to retire rich; have a successful rollerskating book; and make my name in Chicago history.  I also see a Mac Book Pro, Adobe Creative Suite, and free classes to learn all of the software.

There is going to be a lot of play and rest after my work.  Ultimately, I am going to retire rich and stay that way.
