Doing The Right Thing

If you are a designer or a photographer like me, you would understand one of the hardest thing to do is to keep up with your own web site. I guess we are so overly critical of our works and tried to cook it to perfection requires a lot of time and energy. While we have business to conduct, projects to finish, administrative work to take care of; we always push the task of web update to the "very back-burner". It's not a good feeling because we know it is the right thing to do (afterall, we've all heard the phrase – we can't afford not to.) It's our responsibility.

I have been trying to update my photography web site for several years now. So I finally collect all my energy and courage to give that a shot. I put everything else on hold and dive into it. After many hours, I finally pushed my new (beta) web site (www.chrislophotography.com) out today and felt very relieved. Although I didn't make a dime for the hard work but I did accomplish something.

This experience reminds me of something that Jesus taught me. The value of doing the right thing is not measurable by cost / money. If Jesus decided to have a career as a public speaker, or a motivational expert, He would have been very successful and make lots of money. But He values the opposite of "fame" and "fortune". He choose to do the right thing instead and He knows that it's worthy in God's eye and that alone is enough.

I want to continue to seek His will and do the right thing. I think Jesus would like that.
