The thing about stepping out in faith and experiencing those "firsts" in life is that you are always surprised. Two years ago I stepped out in faith and was unemployed for the first time since I was 16. Through the journey of 18 months of unemployment (during which my second baby was born), God taught me so much about faith and trust and experiencing life and doing what I love for those that I love.
There are so many "firsts" in our lives - the first kiss, the first love, the first baby, the first job, the first career change; each equally mysterious and scary and wonderful. This idea of doing photography as a side business is a "first" for me. It is mysterious, scary, exciting, energizing, and fun, but above all, just as I did when I became a teacher, I am doing something that I love and that is much more important than I ever believed that it would be. I tell my high school kids that true happiness comes when you do what you love regardless of what it is. I am living proof of that.
