No Room For Timidity

There is so much to learn in life. But I am learning an important lesson lately. There is no room for timidity!

In photography, if you are timid you risk missing a great capture. I have always been afraid to shoot at different times and always regretted missing the shot and especially if I viewed another photographer that got it. Things like candids of people on streets or events, or an accident or house fire type of tragedies. I always wondered how anyone could shoot them during someone's most painful moments. Recently, I learned how.

It is actually something I am learning from God through his Word. Spiritually, he doesn't want you to be timid. He said to come BOLDLY to the throne! He wants us to be fearless and walk in faith. Not to cower, so that we can succeed. When we are bold, we see how we are trusting in Him because we know He has our back. He is our protector, deliverer, guide, comfort and teacher among many other things.

So from now on I strive to put my fears aside, trust that God has my back, and step out and try to accomplish whatever task He has set before me. Whether it be spiritually, or simply using the gifts he has given by taking photographs so that others can hopefully see His grace, power and love through a great capture.
