I say this often, but God has a timing and purpose for
everything.
I whole heartedly believe that everything that has happened
in my life has brought me to the place I stand today. I thank him every day for
leading my path even when I am reluctant or want to give up.
The Lord has placed a ton of special people into my life in
the past couple of months. I really have never been so blessed to know such
wonderful people!
I have met friends, co-workers, family, and leaders. All who
look out for me and encourage me to go! To go and get that dream I want!
Through radiology school (read my first post) I constantly
was reaching for something. I had no clue what it was. I yearned to have a passion.
Unfortunately, Radiology was not my passion. God has a sense of humor, though!
I graduated, I sat down, and said “What now?”
I worked at a boutique and I absolutely loved styling ladies
and socializing with them… but, once again. My heart wasn’t fulfilled.
“What now?”
I interviewed for my dream job.- A job for a wholesale
interior design company- I literally drooled over it!! After waiting
impatiently, I finally got an email back saying that I did not get the job.
HEARTBROKEN was an understatement. I cried. A lot!
“What now?”
My fiance’, Austin Hudson, lifted me up. He told me to stop
worrying about money and just follow my heart. So, I did… and I prayed a lot.
That same week… I was working at the boutique and one of my favorite
customers came in. I began helping her as I always did… and I felt a tug on my
heart! Talk to this girl! I did and we began talking about teaching because she
had told me before that she was a teacher. (I suddenly knew what I was going to
do!) Once again, I see now how mysterious the Lord is. This customer, Kori,
later asked me over to a party she was having at her home and I’ve loved
becoming such great friends with such a great person!
So, I felt the tug on my heart… The Lord was leading me to
teaching. That night I signed up for my praxis and the next day, I took my
resume’ to every single school I could think of.
After knocking on every school door and never getting
anywhere… I finally heard back from a school! I interviewed that week and
received the Perfect Position. It would allow me to work 8-12. I thought to
myself , “This is great, then I can work on paintings or other crafty things!”
Well, the Lord had other plans for me.
A tutoring position opened up for me. It was perfect.
Tutoring has become a passion of mine. I absolutely enjoy
working with student and seeing them succeed. It’s so much fun to hang out with
our youth. They definitely keep me on my toes!
So, I loved the way God had made me find myself with
teaching… but, I missed my fashion artsy side.
I was invited to, my customer friend, Kori’s home one
evening and who would have thought that I would reconnect with a wonderful
friend that I had met through Crossfit about a year ago. We had lost contact
because of different schedules. The evening went great! I knew I had met some
wonderful people.
My crossfit friend, Hope, opened up My Stella and Dot
adventure. I have absolutely loved starting this business! It feeds my
addiction to fashion. And, I don’t have to overwork myself because everything
is done from home! I only work a couple of hours with this company.
Hope has helped me grow tremendously! Especially since she is
constantly encouraging me to paint and get my stuff out to the public!
So, this is me now. I genuinely believe that he constantly
keeps bringing people in my life so that I’m able to fulfill all of my dreams.
What are my dreams you ask?
My
dream is to be successful. Successful in:
Starting
a family with Austin Hudson
Pursuing
my passion of styling ladies and making them feel and look beautiful
Pursuing
my passion of painting
Pursuing
my passion of making sure my family and friends are healthy
Success isn’t money. Success is feeling like you have
achieved your goal for that day!
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in
nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is
no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring
adventure, or nothing. –Helen Keller
