Title: Newbie from Utah
Post by: chaz66 on September 12, 2007, 02:04:57 PM
Hello all,

I am new to this site and thought I would take the time to introduce myself.  My name is Charlie. I am a Christian residing in Layton, Utah with a passion for Christ and Photography.
I am struggling with many personal issues right now, the greatst being that of deciding what to do when I grow up. I am 41 and it is driving me insane that I have not really choosing a career and I have not pursued my passion for photography. 
I would love to hear from anyone who is either facing this themselves or just has wisdom to share.
One day I will be ambitious and post my photos, until then I hope to chat with you all and have some great fellowship.
May Christ be with you all.

Well, Charlie.  You certainly live in a beautiful state to practice your love of photography! 

And Welcome to this site.  We tend to meet each day in the Thought for the Week forum and share our days with each other.  Come join us there when you have a minute or two.

A great big :welcome: from me to you Charlie!  I live in Ontario, Canada and was in Utah once many years ago and thought it such a beautiful state!

Looking forward to getting to know you in the coming days!

In the meantime, pull up a chair and get comfy here at

WELCOME, CHARLIE!!!  Sure great that you came to this site.  Like you, we're Christ first, photography at least second.  Are you employed in anything you're interested in right now?  If so, serve the Lord in it with all your might, and He'll direct your steps from there.

Well Charlie, I'm newer to this than you are, my suggestion is just to get some photo's posted on this site, and let the Lord direct you on from there, take a step in faith and you never know what you'll achieve. I've been looking for an outlet for my work for years, and here it is at last. You've trusted Jesus forn salvation, excercise a little of that faith, in other words just do it. Michael.   :clap:

Michael, good advise.  Just do it. 

Charlie we are all seekers here at CP.  A dear friend once said when we obey His written will He will reveal His unknown will...  I am sure you are just in the waiting mode for Him to reveal His will.  He will you know.

In the meantime we would love to see some of your photography.  Do you like scenery?  or nature and people?  You will see all sorts of areas in the photography section.

God Bless I pray you find your way.
