"I waited patiently for the Lord;
he inclined to me and heard my cry.
He drew me up from the desolate pit,
out of the miry bog,
and set my feet upon a rock,
making my steps secure.
He put a new song in my mouth,
a song of praise to our God.
Many will see and fear,
and put their trust int he Lord."
Psalm 40:1-3
One of the things that has been made very clear to me in my attempts to get better pictures is that where you stand is of utmost importance!
Even if you can see where you need to stand to take "the picture" if you can't get good footing under you it won't be possible. When you stand on ground that isn't solid or rocks that are wet you and your camera are most likely going down and getting wet, skinning knees, breaking something, or any of a number of other things none of which are going to be good.
I'm finding right now that I'm standing on solid ground. My feet are secure under me and allowing me to ask some questions without having to worry about falling off my faith. It isn't that the place I'm standing is completely 'safe' but it is secure and that is all I need for now. It is giving me a chance to see the world through God's eyes and not just settling for what everyone else sees. I don't want to just play it safe but I do pray that I will always be standing upon Christ who is my solid rock.
