It feels like its been so long since I was in high school. Yet only two short years ago I was a senior awaiting graduation. A lot has happened in two years. So much that if I were to go into detail this post would be way (!) to long. Two huge highlights would be, I was married and my husband and I are now expecting our son to arrive, Lord willing, in April.
I don't miss high school all that much. But there is one room and one teacher I miss with all my heart! I miss "my art room" and my sweet art teacher, Lani Hoensheid-Smith. I started art and photography class (Mrs. Smith taught both) in 11th grade and basically lived in the art room during my 12th grade year. I learned so much in that class room! Once I graduated I started missing that room like crazy. Obviously I can't go back, but Mrs. Smith gave me one of the best presents for my graduation. And that gift was ENCOURAGEMENT! She gave me a homemade clay mug with a note in it. The note had the verse Genesis 1:1 on it."In the beginning GOD CREATED..." She encouraged me to keep being creative no matter where God will lead me.
Once I was married my whole life changed! Unfortunately my creativity has gone slightly to the way side. But God has blessed me with the interest and talent to be creative! I want to exercise and grow this creativity in me, FOR GOD'S HONOR AND GLORY! So, here I am. At the beginning of a new year. I desire to start a challenge. A 365 day challenge, to take one photo a day. It gets over whelming if I think about it too much, but I'll just take it one day at a time!
God Bless,
Claire
