But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your hearts, do not boast and be false to the truth. This is not the wisdom that comes down from above, but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exists, there will be disorder and every vile practice. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, open to reason, full of mercy and good fruits, impartial and sincere. James 3:14-17
This has been a hard week. Jesus has been faithful to minister and reveal mysteries. It is so difficult to be content in the talents God gives you. Everyone is a photographer in my city...and it is easy to get down on yourself after looking through blog after blog after blog.

There is an incredible opportunity to attend a workshop in the Smoky Mountains that centers of passion and your faith.
"For the Love Workshop" is an opportunity to refuel and the majesty that God created for his own pleasure. I am trying my hand at winning a spot to the workshop. Even spending time doing little things for the contest has been an amazing gift. It has made all the difference. Here are a couple of pictures I couldn't really choose between for the submission. Let me know what you think. Thanks for listening!
