A new day is something we all long for. It gives us a chance to start fresh, turn a new leaf, be a new you. We are always given a way to start over. So why not?
I am going to be a pretty open book on here. Starting...now. I have always been the type of person who wants everything all figured out! I would ask my mom what we would be having for dinner while eating lunch. I enjoy planning and knowing what is coming up next. Some may say that this could be a good trait to have. For me it turned into something evil.
As I got older I would try to plan my life way too much. When I was in my last year of college I was so determined to find a job. I needed to know what I would be doing, where I would be living and how much money I would make. Let me tell you, this is not the way to live. I would worry so much about succeeding or failing and not knowing which would take place.
My mother would always say to me that God has a plan for me and that he wouldn't give me anything I couldn't handle. At the times I needed to hear it most is when I should have really listened!
To make a long story short, I have always been the one to have a dream and go for it. But if something too hard shook the dream, I would doubt myself and give up.i have juggled ideas around of starting my own boutique, become a teacher, get into fitness. Stay home and nanny and start a photography business (whoops, took that one too far). None of these things worked out for me so I just wanted to give up. It wasn't until recently that I really soaked in what my mom has been telling me all of these years. Obstacles have been placed before me not to bring me down , but to help mold me into a better person. To analyze my strengths and weakness ghat God gave me.
It sounds silly to me to say this but the moment I held Jamison in my arms for the first time, I knew my purpose was to be a mom. Anything else I ever wanted to do went out the window. Unfortunetly in this day and age we can't stay at home and raise our kids that easily. Mostly both parents have to work!
I work full time and do some things here and there to make extra money. I most recently joined an outstanding Mary Kay team! At these meetings I heard someone say how Mary Kay has helped her be a better person, follower of Christ, mother, wife, daughter, sister and friend! The moment I heard that, I knew that's where I needed to be! I am setting myself up for not just sales goals but personal growth goals as well. I want to be a working mom to show Jamison what hard work looks like. But I also want to do that from home so I can take him to preschool and bawl like a baby myself. Wish me luck! I will be updating as life goes by!
The moral of the story here is to never give up. If you get frustrated, know there is a new day ahead of you wipe yourself clean and start over. Our God has given this to us. For that we should be great fun for!
