Hello Beautiful People!! I have been putting off blogging in hopes to come up with something profound and deep and wow everyone with my words and wisdom… but i have nothing quite yet… so here is my heart.
It has been about since 8 months since I returned from the World Race. It has been 1 month since I have returned from G42.
Both experiences have radically changed me and I wouldn’t have it any other way. I am thankful and blessed for the experiences and people that I have been able to meet along the way.
So pre-World Race what was I doing? Well since you asked… my jobs included being an after school teacher for inner city kids, an assistant matchmaker, bra specialist at Victoria’s Secret, bridal consultant and the one that makes everyone laugh the most… A DEBT COLLECTOR. Unfortunately, I was the worst debt collector known to man because I was probably the nicest one ever. hahah
After the race, I went to G42 Leadership Academy. It was the beginning phases of starting my own ministry and it was a time of intense but beautiful and loving community and discipleship. The Race allowed me to get rid of my junk to find out who I am while G42 allowed me to really settle into being the woman I am destined to be.
So after all these amazing experiences of love, community, fighting human trafficking, saving orphans, building homes- where am I at now? Does one go back to being a debt collector and to a random slew of jobs?
No- but I am in good ole’ MESQUITE, TX! I find that in the past two years I have learned who I am in completely different parts of the world and now I am learning to still be that woman right here where I grew up. This place is my past. It makes it just a tad bit harder because I don’t have people who are constantly speaking life and being of encouragement. I am not surrounded by people who slightly get me.But I have a Daddy who gave me life and bursts forth his love daily. I have to choose HIM. It is no longer the environment. I am not completely immersed in it 24/7.
This is not a survival period. I am not just living this next phase and flying by in Mesquite so I can go back to Spain for 3 months and intern with a shoe designer. No this period is vital. Sink or swim. I’m diving into the Lord. This is the period where things start becoming reality.
This is the research/gain knowledge period. This is design/sketching shoes become like breathing. This is the work hard to pay off some bills phase (I’m a nanny and a caregiver for old people- haha different blog on that later.) This is seeing the beauty amidst the dry and barren times. This is seeing and being a light in the darkness. This is knowing that greatness is coming. This is me seeing the almond tree.
