Blessing be in the Lord&#39;s family and kingdom. I have since got the revelation that God uses me to touch people in taking photos of other people. I have humor and warmth that are yet to be untapped for His work.<br /><br />Is it wrong to expect money in return? Maybe! It is up to Him and not to my own desire and rational thinking of getting my time priced wisely for my own financial rewards. I look to Him, His blessings, and His promised rewards in the greenest pasture I can ever dream about. I am staying strong in my current and future endeavors. <br /><br />Warmest thank you.<br /><br />That particular mundane and seemingly meaningless walk is a revelation to me that I am walking his path unknowingly but I needed his guidance for the purpose and His wisdom for the ultimate purpose of serving the community and He has chosen for me.Hin Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30986030.post-28852189467569370422009-09-22T08:02:56.574-07:002009-09-22T08:02:56.574-07:00Hi Hin,<br />I do lots of volunteer work for the church both photography and otherwise. It helps me to keep a balance. I have not made hardly anything from my photography - but I will and when I get busy with it as a job I will still volunteer my work to church.<br />There is nothing wrong with making a living and we bring Christ to others through the example of our life. You bringing who you are, your faith, are bringing Christ into your work.<br />Just be who God has made you to be and He will work through that - believe me :-)<br />God bless.Bill Raabhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13229151113993355856noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30986030.post-28723741695328517722009-08-26T15:36:16.027-07:002009-08-26T15:36:16.027-07:00Thank you for the visit and suggestion to my ranting. The basic problem in me is also wanting to get the $10 just for myself with greed and pride. I can lose sight of the importance of finding the true joy and meaning in the passion. Robin once told me not to lose the insights of finding true joy in the passion, I find that more meaningful. Thanks again!Hin Manhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11542007867767875530noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30986030.post-57397100103498136962009-08-26T13:37:49.974-07:002009-08-26T13:37:49.974-07:00I love the ducklings!<br /><br />Hin, how about this? You charge people money for taking photos for them, and then you donate it to your church. Or, you approach your church minister/priest directly and let them know that you&#39;d be happy to donate your time and camera to photograph church functions and festivities. If the church organises a charity event (as many do) you can set up a little portrait studio, then charge people $10 for each portrait (which you will e-mail them) and the church keeps those $10.Misererehttp://www.enticingthelight.comnoreply@blogger.com
