Friday morning, I’ll open our farm up to a few Bravehearted Beauties who have courageously signed up to spend the day with me here on the farm. They are brave because some are driving hours to get here; brave because some don’t even know me; brave because they’ve cleared the day during one of the busiest times of the year; brave because they signed up without a lot of details on what it is I’m offering; and brave because they trust it’s going to be good.
And the truth is, I don’t fully know what it is I’m offering. Scary for a detail girl. But this has become God’s sweet spot with me. When I trust Him enough to say yes to scary things, when I move outside of my comfort zone, when I give up planning and controlling and just say YES to His crazy ideas, He comes through for me…and for the women who say YES with me. When we say yes, amazing things happen. Abundant life happens.
I’m sure I’ll talk about things like aperture and chasing the light, but a Beauty Hunting Retreat is about so much more than photography. It’s a time when I trust God to nourish our hearts through beauty. {I’m convinced beauty is His universal love language.} And I don’t know how He does it, but God makes His presence known here…in a quiet, peaceful, welcoming way. He does something for people’s hearts here.
As we walk through clover, tall grasses and barn dust here tomorrow, my goal is to get out of the way so that God can do His thing. All I know for sure is that it’s going to be good.
Another way we’d like to share our farm and abundant life with you this weekend is with a Family Farm Day on Saturday. My girls are so excited to show you all the animals! And my studio will be open for those who’d like to do a little afternoon shopping. Contact me for the address. Your turn to be brave and come see what God has for you here!
BE BRAVE TODAY!
