As we head into the New Year, I am challenged to live life with more courage; which honestly, equates to having more faith. To trust God. With the big. The small. And everything in between. Whether this means being brave enough to start those hard conversations or trying something new or uncomfortable. I know God is asking me to get off the sidelines. To take a chance. To be brave. .

In less than two months, I will be traveling to speak at @clickawayconference , an annual photography conference hosted by @clickinmoms . I am so humbled by this opportunity and super excited for this chance to meet so many other women in this industry; many friends that I have only known online until this event.

In complete transparency, I must also add that I am super nervous. I thrive in small groups, around tables, connecting one on one. The thought of getting on stage in front of a large group is a bit intimidating and way out of my comfort zone.

As I prepare for this speaking event, I can't help but think of our oldest daughter. Over the last few years, I have seen her step out in faith as she walked into uncomfortable situations. I have seen her face fears, in search of dreams. I have seen her lean on God in ways that continue to make me reexamine my own faith.

What a gift He has given me in this girl of ours. To remind me daily that there is so much more to be experienced in life when we let go and trust Him.
