Change, Change, Change

It's so funny how life can change so quickly. God's timing is so perfect.

Ecc. 3:11 - He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.

I've been in a season of "waiting" for almost two years now, that is, waiting for God to show me what my "calling" in life is. Abba, what will I be when I grow up?

I still don't know =)

After I graduated from college, I was completely led to be an ESL teacher for almost a year and a half. At the end of my ESL teaching days, I had 2 visible paths that I could walk down as I prepared to go to grad school: getting my teaching certificate or getting my MBA. Two months of unemployment transitioned me into substitute teaching, letting me know real quick that teaching as a profession was not for me.

But getting my MBA? C'mon... I'm an idealist. I hate business and money.

But I'm a Teacher-Idealist... I've got that entrepreneurial spirit in me =)

BUT in the midst of that, this past month has lead me to establish my own business. In watching my parents struggle with buisness ownership all of my life, I never, ever, ever thought that this would be something that I would be doing as well.

Doors just keep on flying opening. This is what God put together for me:
  1. Finding a consistent source of work through 2 great friends from college
  2. 2 mentors who have been established in the field and want to help me out
  3. 3 people who will do design work for me
  4. 4 websites to build my portfolio
  5. Getting my 2nd paid job!
  6. Discovering an AWESOME consultant!
  7. Hooking up with 2 organizations to do album art
  8. Being blessed in borrowing a 19 inch monitor to hopefully help with my headaches

I'm scared! As used to change as I am, it's still unpleasant. Who woulda thought?!?
