HERE COMES THE BRIDE....

Last weekend my girlfriend was one of the models in a bridal show. She invited us to attend. My husband and I are a little old to be "in a wedding party". In fact we fit right in as grandparents.
I took my 35mm camera to take a few pictures of Bev. While she was dressing and having her make-up touched up, I walked around to where the vendors were. Several of them gave me big smiles.
My husband took my purse and sat in a corner with Bev's hubby. I continued walking around taking pictures. 
It finally occurred to me the reason so many of them were smiling and posing is because they thought I was the photographer.
When I thought about that a moment it made me smile, because I'm no more a photographer than my little two year old granddaughter. I love taking pictures, but that's about as far as it goes.
I realized that just carrying a camera doesn't make me a photographer any more than carrying around my Bible makes me a Christian.
I have to work at both of them to become proficient. I need to study and practice.
Both of them are like my writing career. Just because I have a computer doesn't make me a writer. I have to work at that too.
I pray the Lord will help me become a better writer. I also pray He will mold me into a better Christian.
However I can see from some of my photographs the Lord is leading me to sunsets and water to capture His work.
The bridal show? That was just for fun.
