Never did I ever...

...think I would be letting my blogging world know the news I am about to share with you. With me being the low maintenance, make-up, non-pushy person I am, I am so out of my league right now. I signed up to sell Mary Kay make-up on Saturday of this past weekend. A friend of mine wanted me and Kristy to host a party for her, and of course we didn't mind. It was fun and relaxing, not to mention exciting. I got to do Satin Hands on everyone before our facials, which brought me back to the good ol' dorm days when we had these from time to time. I sat and listened to the my friend's enthusiastic director while she did the facials, all the while developing a very big interest in knowing all about it. My stomach was settled at the time and I didn't have an ounce of fear in my body during the whole session. I scheduled to meet up with my friend, Jesseca, and her director, Melissa, on Saturday and discovered there that this opportunity was one I could not pass up. Not knowing anything at the time, I was shocked to find out that this company is founded on prioritizing one's life...God, family, then career. My team leader is a Christian, as well as my unit director. Every meeting begins with a devotion and a word of prayer. I am astoudned at the things this company is already helping me with, spirtually. I know that most of you are thinking, "What?" but just know that I am being led through this journey by my Maker and He is allowing me to gain the confidence in myself enough to be able to go out and serve other women and minister to them. I am the last one I can think of that feels good about my looks, but already I am being encouraged in gaining more enthusiasm about who I have been created to be in Him! I hope that this opportunity truly takes off to the point that I just get to meet new people, learn from them, and encourage them in so many areas I have been encouraged in so far.
I am scared to death, but working through that. Anytime you start anything new, there is a time of fear, although excitement; discouragement, but encouagement; and stress, followed by relief. I really need all the prayers and support I can get in this new journey. You are all wonderful women and men and have taught me so much already. I look forward to growing even more through this experience! Thanks for everything!
