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.

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!

love

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?

Bible College :-D

Moving south and going for a degree in bible and missions are all God's doing!

I'll start at the beginning!  Which is always a great place to start!

Right around thanksgiving, I had some conversations with some people that left me puzzled.  I spent that weekend in prayer and reading.  I felt called to apply to a bible college down south.  I figured I would not get in.  Honestly I truly thought it was just a test to see if I could follow God's call.  Just a simple test to apply and then move on...

Well of course God had different plans!

One step back, I applied late.  The deadline was December first to be considered for the spring semester.  All of my paperwork was not in until mid-December.  Another reason I felt I would not get in.

Shortly before Christmas I received the news that I had been accepted!  They had a place for me to live with my son and everything just fell right into place.  Any door that needed opened was opened and any that needed closed was closed.  It was such a God thing!

The transition has been tough.  Little man doesn't know what to think but overall God is looking out for us during this time of adjusting!

Currently I am sick with the flu, which I got from LM.  He is still coughing but is doing much better.  No more fever for him! woohoo!!!

We love our little, cute house!  Having a roof over our heads is priceless...yet we take it for granted far too often.

love!

Bonjour!

Hello dear friends!  I am back after a 5 month hiatus!

My life has changed quite a bit in the past five months but one thing has remained constant, God taking care of me!  I am currently 350 miles south of my Indiana home in my new home in Tennessee.  I have my own business with Mary Kay.  Little man is now two!  I am going to school for a degree in bible and missions.  I care deeply for the children of the world without family to care for them and give them hugs.  I know I am where God wants me to be right now.

Enjoy the quick update for now!  Expanding on each new adventure in the coming days!

love!
