I’m new to this whole photo challenge thing. How does it work exactly? I understand I’m supposed to post pictures and tag you in them, but of what? On the pin all it has are one word phrases? What do you mean by Symbol or Suffering or any of the other words you have? Im sorry, I just want to make sure I’m doing it right. 🙂
Allis, glad you’ll be joining us! The words for the day are used to inspire the photo you will take for the day. So, for example…”suffering” could be something as simple as a picture of the crucifix if you happen to be at church…in my case, I might take a picture of something that causes me to suffer {washing a mountain of laundry, yard work, etc.}. There is no limit to what you can take a picture of, just tie it back to Lent somehow and it’s all good!
Have a look at our Instagram account and scroll back to the pictures that were posted during Advent for that challenge and see how we did them. You can also search using the hashtag #CSAdvent or even #CSLentIPJ to see what pictures looked like last year.
I hope this helps!
Wishing you a Blessed day my friend.
