Inspiration for something Inspiring.

hello loved ones! I need your help.

As you all most likely know I am an avid photographer. Especially as of lately... (: so, with that said, I'm expanding my photographic experience. This coming weekend I have 3 photo shoot's that I am doing and I'm hoping these three will jump start my creativity into a field I want to pursue. So I have two favors to ask those of you who are reading this. 

Would you please keep me in prayer as I'm trying to develop my talent and mature in my passion for this field... and would you possibly give me suggestions for a killer name? 

When I first wanted to become a "photographer" about 6 or so years ago I named my photography, "Eleos Photography." Eleos is the Greek word for compassion. So I still like that name but I'm not sure if that's what I want. I would love to hear some of your suggestions... trying to steer clear of "Sharon McLellan Photography" or something along those lines. Anyway, the reason I'm asking is because I want to start a photo blog and tell you all about my photographic journeys. (: I will name the blog the name I choose. Thanks for your help/interest! Here's a link to ma' flickrrrr.

day off!

hello.

well, today i had the day off... and surprise, surprise, i woke up sick. ): sore throat, head congestion, and runny nose. fun. fun. fun. anyways, i decided to come to church tonight cause i hate being at home all alone at night. i scare myself sometimes, my mind gets the best of me. so i'm at church right now listening to Caleb practice worship with the band. But a lot has been going on lately and i wanted to update all of you on these changes! sound exciting? keep reading...


late last month my parents called all of us to the house for a "family meeting." my dad sat us all down and began to tell us that for the past few weeks they had been praying over an amazing opportunity. Our current Pastor, Dominic Done, has been accepted to go to Oxford, England (where he's from) to continue his education and studies in theology. It's an incredible opportunity for him! So with much prayer and consideration Pastor Dominic asked my dad to step up as the new pastor. My dad is currently the worship pastor and one of the elders at the church, we as a family have been serving at Calvary Chapel South Maui for about 6 years. It's soooo exciting! My mom has always said that she's known that my father is called to be a pastor... we just never knew in what timing it would all come about. of course, my dad won't be continuing as the worship leader but over the past year God has been preparing Caleb to step up and fill the position. craziness. so now i'm married to the worship leader. (: and my dad is the Pastor! hehe. 


please keep my family and the body of Christ in your prayers through this transition. It's an amazing time that I know God has complete control over but when God sees something as good the enemy wants to taint and stir up commotion. So just pray that love and understanding would fill the body and everything would transition smoothly.
