Now that I am actively pursuing photography as a real hobby, I constantly am thinking about. I have a mental list ever growing in my head of places around town that I want to shoot as summer gets longer and the seasons change. And no matter how many times I go out and take photos of something - moose, birds, sunsets - when I finish the shoot and get home, I am already anticipating the next time I can go out. I love the editing and sharing, but it's exciting to be able to go out and capture.
I found myself frustrated one pondering this. Isn't it enough to think I have the perfect shots? Why do I have this insatiable need to keep striving for the perfect shots?
Immediately, I realized that this is how I need to be going after God. Yes, yes, this is an application thrown at every hobby, but it always clicks more when it's a personal thing.
So, go after photography with all you have and you might find another great reward in the process! That's my goal :)
Wow, I've never thought about it this way. How true that we focus on and strive so much after things like photography rather than God. I'm also in that stage where I am looking for perfect shot and anything less disappoints me. I totally agree that this should be how we go after God. Thank you for sharing your revelation :)
ReplyDeleteI understand this completely ... and, like you, it's in everything for me. I needed to read this today. Thanks for writing it!
