So I'm here pt. 4 - Refreshing pt.1

I never blog as much as I should.  I have a valid excuse this time.  I am building my Mary Kay business!!!  I never thought that would ever want to be a beauty consultant, but I love making people feel good about themselves.  Mary Kay has provided that avenue as well as extra cash. I was the top selling consultant this week and I've only been working my business for 2 weeks.

On my way home from my meeting, I was on the phone talking a my girl Rece as she make me realize that I need to stop looking for another job.  I teach dance and sell Mary Kay.  If I work my business full time, I know for a fact that I can be successful.  So I'm very happy that God is placing me where He wants me.  I never imagined doing this full time, but I love what I do.

I am setting up counseling this week for my dad and I.  He's working in dallas this week and makes this very hard to do.  I went to visit his sister (my auntie) over the weekend to see how she's been doing since the breast cancer surgery.  I walk in the door, and get the look.  I haven't seen my family since the incident and I don't know what they've heard and they wont ask either.  So I don't volunteer information, but when my cousin asked "So how are you doing?", I know what she is implying.   She wants me to go into details about what happened but it's not gonna help my situation nor help her life.  My family members are all about image.  So if they have to lie to keep that image looking good, they will.  I am not like that at ALL and I praise God for it!!!

This entire situation has allowed me to see where I am and it is not a bad place.  It's a place of transition, growth and molding.
I'm transitioning in my career, my lifestyle, and my dependencies. Making sure they all lead back to God and that I only depend on him.
Growth in my emotional self.  Since understanding why I could not access my emotions, they have opened up so much more.  The love I have and have shown, is growing.  The pain I feel so much more, but I know how to move on.
He's molding me and getting me ready for something HUGE!  I just need to be in the right place.  If you are reading this, know that he is doing the same with you, everyday.  Make sure you are paying attention and adhering to his voice.  He has such great plans for us and only wants us to be happy!  He would never create a will for our lives that does not fit who he has created us to be.

Thank you so much for reading along with this series.  The new series to follow will be Refreshing.   It will follow my journey through counseling with my dad.
anddd the random blogs will begin again.  It has been extremely important for me to get these things out.  Thank you again for the support and I pray what you've read touches you life in a positive and helpful way!

God Bless
