Well, if you have not had the pleasure of meeting our oh-so-wonderful office assistant, Kelsey, here she is with her sweet husband, Chris. She is the voice that most of you hear on the other end of the phone when you call the studio… and she’s usually the gal who helps keep the kids laughing while I’m photographing them. I’m not quite sure what Steve and I did in our “Pre-Kelsey days.” Her strengths have brought so much calm to our studio and to our family – we found that my weaknesses were her passions which allowed me time to focus more on doing what i was truly gifted at – photography, and being a wife and mother.
Author and pastor, Andy Stanley states in his book, Next Generation Leader, “I discovered that there were some (things) i had no business juggling. When i finally mustered the courage to let ‘em fall to the floor (and allowed others, gifted in those areas, to pick them up)… I began to excel in juggling the two or three (things) I was created to keep in the air in the first place… that is where you must focus your energies. That is your sweet spot. That is where you will excel. Within that narrowed context you will add the most value to your organization (and where God will be most glorified).” I could write pages and pages on that subject, but that’s for another day.
You are a dear friend to me, Kelsey. Thank you for blessing our family and our clients. A million thank-you’s for helping us get through this busy holiday season. Sigh… we made it through!
