Joshua 6:16 says: "The seventh time around, when the priests sounded the trumpet blast, Joshua commanded the people, "Shout! For the Lord has given you the city!"
I read this on proverbs31.org this week. I fully believe when God blesses, which is everyday, we are to give Him thanks & praise for it. So that is what I am doing. I have done it between Him & myself, but I want you all to know, I know from whom my blessings flow & I want Him to get all honor & praise for what He is doing here.
At the end of the devotion the writer asked this question, What has God given you that you need to take hold of - even if it doesn't look like it from where you're standing? A dream He's whispered to your heart? Can you move forward in worship & trust, counting on the fact that it has been given to you already? Focusing on what lies ahead & not what's happening now? You see the Israelites couldn't see that God had ( notice the word) GIVEN. He was telling them in this verse, I've already done this thing for you!
In the process of this photography business, I haven't been looking at what He has already Given. Like I have said earlier, I wouldn't have done any of this, I mean ANY of this if it weren't for D. He has encouraged & had hidden faith. He said you need a "place", I said "NO I Don't!" I laugh & say he was just tired of the car port being junked up. Each time I think oh Lord what am I doing? Why are we doing this? What is, was he thinking? God provides another client, another shoot. So He has given & I am accepting & waiting to see what He is going to do next. And I believe with every ounce of my being He will do something next. He has Given. And this is some of what He has done...
I know, it doesn't look like much does it?
Now we are getting somewhere. This is the back wall after, the original back wall came down & we added 12 ft or so to it.
This is of course, the front of the building with a nice coat of primer.
Ahhh yes, Ella B's home. I know, some may not really like it, but it is me !!
Couldn't resist showing you my bling. Lol. D couldn't & still don't understand why in the world I wanted it. Oh well.
This is what He has given. This is why I will praise Him & give Him the glory.
