Stepping Out On Faith‏

My daughter just went through her first model photo shoot this weekend.  This journey has been really outside of my element and not very enjoyable to me. But my daughter just loves it.

I would have never put my daughter in modeling except when she was younger my pastor, who is a prophet, told my husband and me to get her in modeling.  At the time the agency that caught my interest considered my daughter as too young, however, last year I had remembered about the agency and she auditioned and made it.

I am anxiously looking forward to see her completed photos.  I have no idea what the purpose is for my  daughter being in modeling, but I am stepping out on faith, just waiting and watching to see what is to become of this.

I am not sure if she is just supposed to learn self confidence or if she is really supposed to become a model.  It will be really interesting to see what impact this modeling thing has on my daughter's life.

Your Perception Shapes Your Reality

This past Sunday my pastor spoke about how our conscience links us to wisdom and enables us to act wisely. What we rarely see is that how we see events, our perception, determines our reality. We then feel, act, and often react based upon our frame of reference and how we see things. But seeing is not always believing.

Our feeling and emotions are sincere but are not what we should use as the motive of our actions.  Our perception is real but is not truth. For example, if you are in a room facing a speaker you see the speaker and all that is behind her on stage. Behind you is a glass wall. The speaker is facing you and can clearly see activity on the other side of the wall. From your perspective there is nothing but the speaker before you.

How we act in our relationships with others is very much the same principle. We see things the way that we do. We sometimes expect people to act in a certain way because from our perspective that is how they are supposed to act. But that expectation is not truth; it is only how we see the situation.
