Today
while browsing Facebook a post from a local youth pastor where I live caught my
eye. I was just looking at my
photography page and trying to brainstorm ways to draw attention to it. The post was for a photo challenge. I have heard of these before, basically there
is a theme presented and you post a photo-a-day in an attempt to capture the
theme. My wife told me about one in the
past, the idea is that by forcing yourself to focus on a subject matter every
day you will grow in your ability to capture ideas.
The post
that caught my eye was for a Lenten photo a day challenge. Lenten is the Christian season leading up to
Easter. We attempt to reflect and focus
on God as Jesus did in His time of fasting in the wilderness. Typically people will try to give up
something for the season. I find that
for me, personally, I find myself missing whatever it is that I gave up, and
miss the bigger picture of focusing on God.
Each day
there is a word, the theme. The photo
will reflect the theme and I will also give a short description of why I chose
the image that I did. I hope this is a
time of reflection and of truly seeking guidance from the true Creator, the
Creator of Heaven and Earth! I encourage
you all to seek the Creator as well, whatever that entails.
I will
post a link to the challenge for anyone else who is interested. If you start late simply jump in where ever
you can start. I will post the word or theme for the next day in each post and
remember my posts will be a day behind allowing me to complete my image and
blog post. I hope you will follow my
journey and share with your friends. Lets get started the first theme is; Who am I?
