Connections

It's been a while since my last update. I find it funny how my timing and God's timing aren't always in sync. Okay, I'm always in more of a hurry than He is. But then I remember that I don't have the big picture like He does, and I settle down and let things happen as they should.

A recent series of events has helped bring this to mind.

Early in July, while at a good friends house, I met Jared. Jared stopped by to drop off some salmon for my friend to cook up in his smoker. Jared and I started chatting and quickly found out that we had a few things in common. Primarily, he was in the middle of a couple of business projects that were going to need the services of a photographer and that I was a photographer in the need of some business projects. Funny how God puts the right people in the right place at the right time.

It turns out that the original project we discussed is on hold for a few more months, but another project has come up that needs more immediate attention. This works out perfectly for me as I happen to have the time and energy to really put into these photographs right now.

Jared and I recently met at a local cafateria and burned through three hours of planning, joking, laughing and just getting to know each other. It's amazing to me how quickly three hours can go by when you are in good company.

When I stop to think of the thin thread that connects all of the wonderful dots in my life I am reassured that when I let him, God really does make everything work out on His schedule.
