Modeling - My New Adventure

Modeling: my new adventure! I am seriously having *so*much*fun*! I'm in love with modeling. I'm so excited to see where this goes. Modeling is definitely becoming a passion of mine: mainly because it's an art! You need to be creative, artistic and you have to be comfortable in your own skin: enough to take risks. The mood, the lighting, the model, the photographer, the make-up artist, the hair stylist, the wardrobe stylist, all come together to create a beautiful picture that is frozen in time. It's as if I'm in a painting that comes alive with the brush strokes of the creative elements. It is hard work and you definitely have to push yourself to see what works and what doesn't. I'm still learning and I hope to learn so much more. I want to know how to rock it and get the best images. :) I truly hope that I become successful with this. My only fear is that I am 27 and a lot of fashion agencies, etc, want the young-ens. But honestly, I'm not going to let that stop me. I'm going to try my hardest to be the best model that I'm capable of and push it! And if they say that I can't, then I say to them, "then watch me!" :) I'm trusting in the Lord with this new desire and passion. He is in control and is sovereign, whom my faith is firmly placed and rested upon. The whole world is filled with careers that reflects the depraved mind. You can not escape it. Modeling can reflect that as well. But not every aspect of it! What a great way to be a shining light of Christ in a world that is so dark. People notice that I am joyful, full of love and fearlessness, seeing and noticing that something is different about me. I don't have to do certain things or act a certain way, the fruits of the Spirit will shine forth in me and naturally set me a part from the world because of Christ.

Matt, my handsome man, is so supportive and is my #1 cheerleader/encourager! I'm so thankful for him! He helps push me, teach me, and guides me. I have been super busy with everything but I'm enjoying it. I'm going to the gym at least 5 days a week which is helping me become more fit (need more work to get where I want to be) and healthier. I do suffer from really low blood sugar levels (hypoglycemia) and it is helping me that I am counting calories and am exercising regularly. I'm feeling so much better about myself and I'm beginning to love the way I look and feel.

Hopefully you will see an ad in a renown fashion magazine and say "I know her!" :)
