Thankful Thursday ~ Busyness

Save us, O Lord our God,
and gather us from among the nations,
that we may give thanks to your holy name
and glory in your praise.
~ Psalm 106:47 (ESV)

Wow, December; where did this year go? Do you realize that in 24 days we will be celebrating the birth of our Savior? I love Christmas!

When you saw the title for this week’s post, you may have thought that I lost it or fellow of my rocker. I didn’t; I promise. You see in the month of November I was really busy with portrait photography. I made my clients very happy with the portraits I took of their children/family.

However, when I get very busy, I also get very flustered/disorganized. But not this time. Sure, I have had long nights (which are not yet over), but God has increased my clientele by 80% compared to last year. Wow, stunning, don’t you agree? I could not have it done with the prayers and support from my dear and trusted friends Lori, Lynn, Debbie, Connie, and Erin (thank you ladies for your cheers and prayers). Oh and of course the support of my beloved!

I am also thankful that God has given me the confidence not to give up after the first year. It is said that most photographers give up within the first year. You have to understand, I am not an A-Type person, so drumming up business does not come natural. So I know, it was God’s doing…Thank you Lord! I am also thankful for my former clients recommending my services 😉 .

What are you thankful for this week? Please do share with us by leaving your link to your Thankful Thursday post below.

Thank you for stopping by today. Remember: busyness does not mean we have to be flustered, but gives us an opportunity to show our faith in God and prayers.
