A short and sweet post.
Today is the big – we’ve been preparing for it since January – ballet recital for my daughters — Hannah, Chloe and Grace. It’s a glorious day of celebration and artistry and joyfulness. I’d love your prayers for them — that their day is a reflection of their hard work and dedication. And that it is fun — lots of fun. 🙂
I’d also love your prayers for myself as I’m the photographer for the event. I took photos last week for the dress rehearsal {and they turned out beautiful} — and now today, I’ll be taking them throughout the day — backstage, on stage rehearsal and more. Pray for great functioning equipment, a good eye, great lighting, and that I, too, have fun. Lots of fun. 🙂
And on a completely different note.
As you might remember I got to take part in this Blogher and Gatorade event {the one with the $100 giftcard giveaway}. I’ve been looking {I know, I know, I know — kind of silly} to see my promo in the Blogher sidebar ad. It probably says, “see how Rachel, from finding joy, helps her athletes Become.” Anyways, I know it’s out there — I’ve gotten hits from various blogs that have the running sidebar. I just haven’t seen it myself.
Here’s my silly question. If you come across the ad on another blog, would you screencap it and save it for me? hee hee hee….I feel like I’m about ten again wanting to see my artwork. 🙂
That’s it for this Saturday morning! I’m off to put Gracie’s hair into the perfect ballet bun, check that the camera batteries are fully charged, pull out those energy bars, and get ready for a whirlwind day of activity!

I’m sure your photos will be lovely. I think ballerinas are so graceful. We’re raising music girls and a cowgirl!lol
Praying the day goes fantastically for you and your girls, Rachel! I’m sure your photos will be wonderful. 🙂 Blessings!
Have a wonderful time celebrating a special day for your girls – I have no doubt your pictures will be a beautiful reflection of your love for them!!!
I just know everything will be perfect! I will be praying for you all and I cannot wait to see pictures and hear all about it.
Have fun! I’m sure your pictures will turn out great. 🙂

Prayers for everything you asked for! Thanks so much for all the sweet compliments on your last comment–it means a lot coming from you–someone who takes amazing pictures and has a beautiful blog to go with it! : )
Have lots of fun today! xoxo
I hope the day was full of beauty and splendid dancing, as I know it must have been!!! Cannot wait to see all of your captured moments. Go you, Mrs. Photographer!
I want to see your ad, too! This is big stuff! : ) if I ever come across it, I’ll screen shot it in a skinny minute.
What a tremendous comfort we have in the wounds of Jesus! Praying!
Isaiah 49:13-16a Sing, O heavens; and be joyful, O earth; and break forth into singing, O mountains: for the LORD hath comforted his people, and will have mercy upon his afflicted. But Zion said, The LORD hath forsaken me, and my Lord hath forgotten me. Can a woman forget her sucking child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb? yea, they may forget, yet will I not forget thee. Behold, I have graven thee upon the palms of my hands…
