Mary Kay has change a lot of lives!

And it is changing mine!

I had an amazing conversation with a godly woman who I admire a week or so ago.

I told her my struggles with life, God, my business.  She helped me to see that I am so blessed!

I was having trouble trying to figure out why God brought Mary Kay into my life.  I still do not know exactly why but I know I can try to make it work for bettering His kingdom!

This business allows me the opportunity to support myself and little man yet still keep our values of God first, family second, and career third.  No where else would this be so easy.

My business allows me the chance to enter women's homes and bless them.  I can show them compassion and love in ways that some with only a bible cannot.  Mary Kay is my mission field!

Ready or not world here I come!  God is my business partner and my Lord!  We got this :-)

at once

Matthew 4:20 "At once they left their nets and followed HIM"

Matthew 4:22 "And immediately they left the boat and their father and followed HIM"

Mark 1:18 "At once they left their nets and followed HIM"

So imagine you are going about your daily lives when bam, a man asks you to stop your work and follow him.  Really think about this.  Would we stop our work for someone and just follow?

God has placed this on my heart lately.  Would I be willing to stop immediately, at once, no questions ask and follow Him?

I have to remember that He is in control and is Lord.

Fellowship

Lately I have been blessed with the chance to hang out more with friends.  It is truly amazing.  Godly friends are the best.  Sitting back for hours and just talking about our One True God is incredible!

Try talking about Him with your friends.  It opens up so cool doors for fellowship with one another.

I am so thankful for the people He has placed in my life.  They are such an encouragement to me when I think I can't make it.

Thank you friends!

M to the K

Mary Kay was brought into my life but I don't know what is meant from it. Does God want me to make mk my whole career? Does He want it to be a stepping stone? I enjoy my business.  Just need to know where it fits.
Lost.
But in prayer.

Friends

I love my friends. Bring included is such a wonderful feeling. Yesterday some friends came over to hang out and do laundry. I made brownies and we enjoyed strawberries.

Seems so simple but it made my day.

When summer break comes it is going to be weird not having people all over campus or coming to my house. But God is good!

Word

Today's application is the word "speck". Looking for a speck in someones eye while we have a plank is not the way to go. We do not need to be judgmental. God wants us to first fix ourselves then we can help, not judge, our brothers.

Phone posting

I got to talk to a dear friend today. We are both struggling in our walk. God is good though. I have a major addiction under my feet thanks to Him. Now I'm just struggling with being lonely. But that is just it, I'm not alone!

I'm learning I need to lean more on my Heavenly Father and I don't need a relationship to make me someone. Seems so simple but its hard to live. God has big plans for my life. I know that is true. He haas  brought  me out of a nasty  past and His plans are always better than we can imagine.

We like to think we have a grasp on life but in all reality we do not.

Little Children

Jesus loves the little children.

Why don't more of us?

Children are the future.

Little Man Monday

A Little Lonely

Feeling a little lonely lately.  Little man is with his dad until Sunday.  I am ready for him to be home.

I do know I am never alone but it is still hard.

I'm just going to be honest here.  I am jealous of what others have.  God knows and we are working on fixing me.  I envy those that are expanding their families.

I know God will provide for me.  Just being open here.  It's my blog so I can do that.

I need to be content with what He has given me and I am working on it.




Father God I know you will provide all I need.  I thank you for Your Love and how much You truly care for me.  I love you.  Amen

Where I need to be

I am not where I need to be.

No I don't mean physically.  I know I'm meant to be in school here in Tennessee.

I'm not where I need to be with God.  And it just recently hit me that I am not.

I haven't been spending time with Him much at all and I can really feel that.

Time to get back to the basics. 

Career Conference

My business is wonderful!

Just this weekend I had a fabulous career conference that is hosted by our terrific company!

Here are a few pictures!

I learned a ton!  I have great new ideas to bring my business to a higher level! Woohoo!!!

Little Man is TWO

Little man is really living up to his name!  He looks so cute and grown up.  His vocabulary is ever expanding and people say he sounds very clear when he speaks.  Of course I think that cuz I'm around him all the time and well I'm his mommy!

Just like a little man

He has several grandmas and grandpas and here are their various names:
Meemaw
Papa Chew
Great Grandma
Grandma Yoyo
Papa Dale
Papa J
Granny Lou
PawPaw
Grandma

LM is covered in the grandparent department!  He gets all the loving he can handle!

We didn't do anything for his birthday.  I know horrible mother am I!  But really he is two and doesn't know.  No need to buy necessary things when he won't care either way.

I am teaching LM about our Father in heaven.  :-D  We pray at random times and before most meals.  I simply hold his hands and say "Dear God thank you for this food.  Make our bodies strong.  Amen"  and then he has to say Amen.  It is adorable!  Most of the time he wants to pray for each thing on his plate.  At night we will pray for everything from the pillow to our neighbors.  I know God finds great joy in this!

We do have our struggles but He is helping us make it through the days!

Mary Kay

God first

Family second

Career third

Those are values I love!  This is what Mary Kay Ash believed in when she started her company.

Mary Kay is more than makeup.  It is a community of positivity and encouragement.  Since moving down south I have not been able to attend a meeting yet, but I will!!!  And I do miss the fellowship with my MK girls!

My business is a great way for me to gain self-confidence and earn a little extra cash.  Once I am settled in I hope to pursue my business more so I can have extra money for bills and food.

Interested in anything Mary Kay?

love!
