I love pictures! I am the person that others through the years made fun of. Why? Because I take so many pictures. I don't mind. I have rarely regretted taking too many pictures. I have regretted the few times I didn't take pictures, missing that special moment.
Sprittibee has been posting an Instagram challenge monthly for those that love taking pictures. I confess that I miss an occasional day. But it has been fun. I don't have to be a professional photographer to be creative and capture memories.
Sometimes just taking one picture leads me to another and another. It's fun to look back and see the various photographs taken. Often I think my days are routine and dull, but looking back, they are fun.
The Instagram challenge also allows me to be creative. For simplicity, I have mostly used my phone and photo apps. I have a nice Nikon, but the hassle of downloading pics unto my old desktop causes me to be lazy. I save those shots for days I'm feeling REALLY creative.
I love recording things in my life. My life is a gift from God. Life is short. It speeds by quickly. One moment my children are small, the next they are grown. This hit me like a punch to the gut when my oldest daughter got married last May.
I record my life because, as a Christian, I want others to see the journey Christ has me on. Everyone's journey is unique. But how will the world know about Christ if they don't see Him lived out in the lives of others? I want my children to be able to show their children about their crazy mom that taught about and lived for Jesus!
Record your lives. The ups and downs leave a legacy that, if you wholeheartedly love and serve Jesus, is not about you... but is about Him and His Glory!
