Sigh.
I have failed at my attempt to take a Photo-a-Day. Or at least to post them. I have been pretty good {ok, maybe 75%} at taking the Photo-a-Day from the list that this website has made. However, I have miserably failed at editing and sharing the random photos I have captured. Instead of a fun challenge that gets me taking pictures with my DSLR {or sometimes my iPhone}, I feel enslaved to this list and then guilty/sad/annoyed/frustrated when I find another day pass that I haven't been faithful to this challenge.
Grr. I strongly dislike this predicament that I'm in. I LOVE capturing every day moments, which I believe I do, especially with my iPhone. But, I don't like the list. My husband has encouraged me to keep going and not worry about the photos that I haven't taken. . .
So, I think I'm going to TRY and continue this challenge but with less pressure. I hate quitting when I've started something, so I'm not saying I'm quitting, but I'm not going to get bent-out-of-shape when I don't have my blog updated every Sunday with 7 different photos from the week. I'll probably post my favorite from the week and store the others in a file.
Just had to put that out there.
About me
- Meredith
- I am a redeemed woman who seeks to reflect that redemption by living out my calling as a wife and momma! My primary purpose in life is to glorify God through obedience by helping my husband and loving others. Of course, I don't do this perfectly, so I daily rely on the work of Jesus to count me righteous and rest in His saving grace!
Meredith...one word..."GRACE". :D The photos are more for you capturing memories and moments than any challenge success. BIG picture. ;D
ReplyDeleteTo make life even simplier....maybe just create one collage with the seven pictures of your choice in them...WITHOUT over editing which can take forever. Just select a layout, drag your pics there and add you heading and your signature. Then you have on your blog all seven on one layout...with the week right on the collage. Just a thought. I like using http://pixlr.com/express/ to make collages....simple and fairly quick.
Beginning and bottom line though...GRACE {extend it to yourself and remember it's not really about the challenge completion as it is capturing memories}.

Thank you, Jarnette! That is just the encouragement that the Lord knew I needed!
