Confession Time

Confession Time

Hello world! For those of you who don’t know me, my name is Pamela and I’m a photographer/graphic designer. Although these days I’ve been leaning more towards photographer, and using my graphic design skills to help out a few friends and brand my business. For a while now, I have felt like I’ve been stuck in neutral, I haven’t had as many clients as I had hoped since I took leap and started my business back in September 2012. And honestly, it’s really it’s my fault. In the past I’ve had lack of organization, focus, and discipline and the worst part is, when I didn’t know what to do, I would just do nothing! That is a VERY bad habit that I’ve tried over and over to kick. However, a couple of weeks ago, while listening to a Joyce Meyer sermon, it finally hit me…no matter how hard I try, I can’t change myself. Jesus is the one who has to do the changing inside of me. All I can do, is the tasks that He puts in front of me, but changing my inside is not one of them. That is a task that is better left to the only one who has the power to change me; Jesus. Only then will I, be a well-oiled, organized, focused and disciplined machine! Now I realize all this doesn’t happen overnight. It’s a gradual change, but I’m starting to feel and see the difference. The fact that I’m writing this blog entry is proof enough for me. I just have to continue doing my part, and God will certainly do His.

A few months ago, I stumbled upon a site for women photographers called “Chic Critique Forum”. They have a TON of great tools and advice that can help me become a better businesswoman and photographer. And this week, I started a 6-week bootcamp, called “BonjOrganization BootCamp”, and it is exactly what I need to get me focused and organized! They have us in groups of 5 and we keep each other accountable. There are also assignments that I need to complete each week. So you’ll probably see a lot of topics regarding this bootcamp. You know, it’s amazing how God puts people and things in our lives, just at the right time!
