I see the lines of students waiting to get their cap and gown. I see invitations being ordered, senior pictures being taken and the hustle and bustle just to finish the final project of an undergraduate career. As I look around all I can think is, this is going to be me next year, and what am I going to do when it is over? Am I ready for it to be over? As this year comes to its close, the thoughts run though my mind that, when I arrive on campus next semester it starts the last of everything. The last choir camp, the last first day of school, the last….
Doors and chapters close and new ones open, that is the way life happens. As Maria states in The Sound of Music as she leaves the Alley to a new life ahead, “When God closes a door, someway he opens a window.” If we knew what was going to happen around the next corner, where would be the excitement to life? It would be kinda silly if we were all walking robots, just following our programed course and to the next destination. We are all training do do something.
Do you know that saying, “If you do what you love then you never have to work a day in your life.”? This expression has its pitfalls, but that is the basic idea of what I want to do. Photography is my passion, and I eventually would like to have my own photography business. A photograph is a moment in time captured forever, the documentation of life, a time that you can never re-live exactly as it had happened. Thats what I want to do: capture memories, moments.
Recently my parents and grandma bought me the brand new Nikon, a fancy little thing that is probably 'smarter' than I am. There is still so much I need to learn about using a camera professionally, there is a lot that goes into it. The place that they got the camera from gives classes which a buyer can attend for free. My dad and I have been going together. I am excited to keep learning more.
There have been so many things I have been learning though my three year experience at CBU that I wonder what really God is wanting me to do. Perhaps it is a combination of it all. All I hope for is that I glorify God with my life and do what he had called me to do, whatever that may be. I hope he tells me just in time to get to those different moments in life. *Click*.
