Have you ever felt called to something that you didn’t feel equipped for? I am certainly have, in fact I feel that way today. The past six months have been a crazy roller coaster of why, what if and why me. Uncertainty is my constant companion. I feel like a kid on a high school…

JEN! you are so great! god certainly has given you a talent with photography! look at those pictures! Amazing :) thanks for being such a great example of faith to me!
Boy do I understand what you’re going through. Maybe not in the exact same way because the Lord has a different path for each of us, but that feeling of “Ok God I did what you asked even though I don’t feel good enough…now what??”
I read this talk a few months ago and I thought about it when you mentioned how your emotions are masking pride. It’s pretty intense and when I read it I had to make sure I wasn’t getting even harder on myself, but I thought you might like to read it:

I love you and I know God loves us for keeping up with what we’ve committed to. Go get ‘em!
Beautifully said..
Your work is stunning!
I loved this post Mrs. Blair!! You are a excellent writer!!
I, too, am a very uncertainly person. Especially when it comes to challenging things. This post is beautiful, and it’s message it so true.
Love the pictures!
What an inspiring post! Such a beautiful message! And I’m so happy you’re sharing your talent of photography with the world. You are so talented have so much to share!
We don’t see the amazing ways God works until we are completely dependent on Him. I can tell you are growing SO MUCH as a photographer. Your work is stunning! Keep trusting!
Wow what an inspirational post. I feel somewhat like you right now. I feel like I have a greater purpose and I know there is something I am meant to do, but I’m still figuring that out. I feel it’s through my blog and my writings and my love of romance, but I haven’t gotten there yet. I never thought I would be the person afraid to do what their heart desires and I definitely never though I’d be the person who settles for something that doesn’t suit me.
Thank you for sharing this. Your work is always stunning and I believe you have a beautiful gift!
I totally understand what you’re saying. My situation is different, but I have come to realize that “I can’t” either! I was struggling with some stuff this summer & finally got to the point that I had an angry conversation with God, telling Him that I just wasn’t strong enough to do this! It was one of those moments when He finally had me where He wanted me~> realizing that I really can’t do it in my own strength & that when I am weak HE is strong! Anyways, I’m glad you’re allowing Him to use your talents for His glory! {& thank you for your comment on my blog!}
“I once heard someone say that God doesn’t call the equipped, He equips the called.”
Favorite line of the whole post. It is so true. We are not born with the abilities to do the things we set out to do in this world. God gives us these gifts and abilities….all according to His will and purpose for our lives.
You are a beautiful photographer! :)
I fell in love with your photography! You,re so talented!
Thank you Alexis!
Thank you Brandy!
Thank you!
I am so thankful for you Courtney! Thank you!
Thank you Natalie! I really appreciate that!
Thank you Vera!
I love this blog post Jen! God has trully blessed your photography business and I know he will continue to do so :)
I loved this post. I can relate so much! Self-consciousness is something I must get rid of too.
There are definitely ways to minister with photography. I know someone who felt called to work with Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, it’s heartbreaking for sure, but she is wonderful at what she does. Also, photography is a much better “mommy” career than any 9-5 office job ;)
I also feel the same, thanks for the inspiring post! you are beautiful!
I love your new blog and look! You are a very talented photographer the pics are just lovely. And your makeup always looks Fabulous..just saying :) god bless
I love your new blog! Glad to see you are following through with God’s calling. Your photography is beautiful! You are an inspiration. Maybe someday I will have enough faith to follow through with my calling ;)
I was just curious, which resources you used to learn your DSLR? I know practice is best, but if you have any tips or books you liked best, I would love to hear.
Thank you sweetie for these words. I needed to be reminded of them today. GOD CAN DO ANYTHING! Why don’t we just join Him in the adventure instead of fighting Him?!
Much love sister in Christ!
I love the new look of your blog Jennifer! Your photography is inspiring and takes me to other places :) Happy 2012 New Years and I hope it far surpasses any year previous. God Bless!
Jeanine :))

wow wow…. I am speechless…. such an AMAZING INSPIRING post! I cant wait to go to sleep and wake up tomorrow and begin an amazing journey with God…. it starts again each day.

Jennifer,
I am in the exact same position! God has called me to be a photographer. This is my first step. His ultimate goal for me is in mission work, but this is scary! I have no camera, no experience, and I know to trust in Him and He will provide. I won’t open my own photography business. Mine will be different.. I pray you are so blessed!!!
