Last weekend Taryn, Isaac, and I took our Christmas Photos on the National Mall

I usually dred this family activity as God uses it to continually build patience in me as we wait and wait for the perfect shot on each different pose, until this year…

Yes, I actually enjoyed our family outing and being patient for our “perfect” shots… I think I owe alot of it to our wonderful photographer, Heather Behlendorf. Heather and her husband Brandon are members at DC Metro and they do a great job on our Guest Services Team among other things… Thank God for you guys!!!

There was one point in particular that really impressed me with Heather… She was “Patiently” getting the right shot for us in front of the capital that she laid down on the ground (Did I mention, Wet Ground!) and took the photo that you see above of us on the capital steps… Now that is passion with Great Patience…

I have heard people say not to pray for patience, but what a character trait it is to have…

Colossians 3:12 Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience.

Enjoy the pic…
