Week Three!

This week has been a bit of a roller-coaster. Some days were really great and others were very frustrating. However, whatever kind of day it was, I learned something really valuable every day. I'm learning a ton about photography, particularly about lighting and the studio. I'm learning a lot about myself; that I need to lighten up a bit and not be so perfectionistic. Between my leadership and Faith and Culture class, I'm learning a lot about God. During my Reflection Time (a time on Thursday nights that we set aside for reflection and worship) I am learning to be still and listen to the Lord.

Here are some photos so you can see what I've been up to this week : )

This is what I've been doing during work hours for the past week and a half. I have now finished all of the products they needed for "The Village" shop, located in the visitor's center, to use for their online store. Products ranged from Wycliffe insulated cups, to bracelets made in countries where Wycliffe is currently working, to informational books and DVDs.

On Monday I will get to start taking pictures of the artifacts that Wycliffe has at their headquarters. My trip to Guatemala is coming up soon so I will also be learning more of what I will need to know for being the photographer there.

On a Thursday night during Reflection Time, I spend some time singing along to worship songs on YouTube, and journaling my prayers. This is such a great opportunity to take some time to get refreshed in my walk with God and reflect on what He is doing in my life and may be calling me toward in the future.

Friday at work is "Casual Friday"! We like wearing jeans while we serve!

After a long and stressful week, we headed out to Downtown Disney for a chance to relax and spend some quality time together. We had dinner at The Earl of Sandwich and then wondered around the various shops taking pictures with all of our favorite characters along the way.

Today, I made some homemade pumpkin bread for my roommates and for some of our staff who happen to love it as much as I do! Today is for laundry, journaling, blogging, cleaning, catching up and relaxing : )

Thank you for continuing to pray as I serve here at Wycliffe. I am still lacking about $1,000 in support so that is a definite prayer request. Also please pray that I will be receptive for what God has to show me - about life and about the future.

In Christ,

Stephanie
