Cast all your cares...

Marc has been unemployed for going on 2 years. Anyone that is going through unemployment knows how taxing it can be. Financial issues can tear marriages apart. Praise God that Marc and I are protected from that. We have gotten stronger through all of this and I have maintained my peace.... After a while of being unemployed we decided that maybe we should do photography full time. Photography is so much fun for us. We love it.. but there are some months it doesn't work out so well. We have decided that Marc will go back to work full time. I have so much peace about this decision. However, the interviews aren't going so well. He has only gotten 2 phone calls for interviews. We know that God is in control and He will take care of us. God is allowing us to go through this for a reason. I am not sure why, yet. But I hope to find out soon. Yes, we are going through a tough time, but I have so much peace in the midst of all this. God said he would take care of us.. I know that no matter how bad things get, God is in control. My attitude, and praise will determine the end result. It's not that God can't make things better with a bad attitude...but things don't last as long when you praise Him even in the bad times. They pass so much more quickly. Praising God puts focus on Him and away from us. We are to praise Him in the good times and the bad times. We are not to worry about tomorrow, because we don't even have that promise, but what we do have is today...the very special present from the Lord. Your bad attitude does nothing but to lead to bitterness and depression. At that point it is so hard to focus on the Lord and how HE is going to bring you through this. There is no testimony without a test... He knows what we need, and when we need it. Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22..
He takes care of the birds and the flowers, He will take care of us as well..

About Me

My photo
My name is Desiree' Chapman. I love photography, and scrapbooking. I don't like referring to myself in the 3rd person on my website or blogs.. I love playing in the mud with kids, and I hate cooking! I would much rather be playing with kids then cooking LOL... I love photographing kids, but enjoy every aspect of photography. I love mysteries, and chic flics. I prefer white chocolate, and I love lemon heads. I don't wear make-up every day and prefer to be dressed grungy most of the time cause I like being 'comfortable'. Thats me in a nutshell...
