A New Path

My world has really changed over the past few months, and I am beginning to love my life as it is right now.  God is directing me in paths that I never dreamed, and I can’t wait to see how He molds me into what He planned me to be.

My Premier business is about to reach new heights.  My Premier mom, Pam, always says, “God blesses effort.”  There could not be a truer statement.  I have been a stumbling block to my Premier business in the past because I have made a lot of excuses for not working it as I should.  I have also let situations in my life discourage me, making me think that I couldn’t have a successful business, instead of letting my business “be the bulldozer that tears down the problems” in my life.  I am really addressing this aspect of my business, and turning that situation around, and I am so excited about it!  I have recently signed two new wonderful Premier daughters.  Carly and Alison, I love you!  I can’t wait to help you build your own successful Premier businesses.  I’ve got some great Premier promotions and events coming down the pipes.  Stay tuned in to see.

I have also just started working on a finance project for my church, Crosspoint Community Church.    It’s a temporary gig, but is just a little different than anything I’ve ever done before.  I’m stoked about my new job in the ministry of Jesus Christ.  I truly believe this opportunity is THE reason that my corporate career took the path that it did.  When we pray for God’s will in our lives, we never know exactly what we’re gonna get.  The thing about God’s will that is so amazing. . . it’s perfect.  That’s right, I said Perfect.  God’s will is ultimate perfection in our lives.  Does that mean that every moment will be bliss, and we will be forever protected from turmoil and strife?  Absolutely not!  It just means that lives lived according to God’s will, will always glorify Him.  I can’t thnk of any more perfect mission for my life than to glorfiy God in all that I do.

Most Awesome News of All

I’m no longer in pain!  The chronic pain in my neck that has plagued me for the past 2 1/2 years, is miraculously gone.  That’s not to say that I don’t have a bad day once in a while, but they are rare.  I shared this with my wonderful friend Jason tonight.  He was shocked to hear my news and asked why I have not shared it with our life group.  I guess I have been afraid to say it out loud for fear that the pain would reappear.  The truth is, once I decided to “let go and let God,”  He took the pain away.  All I had to do was trust Him.  Jonathan and I (and my mom and dad, and my Premier family, and my church family, etc.)  had both been praying for a miracle for a while.  This is proof positive that God is still in the miracle business.  There are 27 million Americans that suffer with chronic pain on a daily basis.  Chronic pain is intense pain for which there is no apparent reason, or no treatable cause.  It affects its victims not only physically, but mentally as well, causing depression and anxiety disorders. And, “suffer” is the only word to describe how these people live from day to day.  For the rest of my life, I will continue to pray that medicine finds a way to help chronic pain sufferers live a more comfortable life.

With all of the wonderful changes going on, I’m still experiencing a little difficulty financially as I figure out how to work out the logistics of income that is not the same every week.  I know, sounds funny coming from an accountant.  I’ll figure it out.  I need to book jewelry shows desperately!!!  I will be announcing a Mother’s Day special and Mystery Hostess Show in the next couple of days.  Please email me at msjewelrylady@gmail.com if you are willing to host a home jewelry show.  I will make it very stress-free for you, and you will earn LOTS of FREE JEWELRY!!!!

I’ve no doubt that I”m exactly where God wants me to be right now.  First of all, I’m continuing to be at home with Olivia.  I love it!  I’m working with two absolutely wonderful God-centered organizations, Crosspoint Community Church and Premier Designs Jewelry, and I’m pain-free.  Sitting here, reading back over this post, I’m ashamed at how many sentences start with the word “I”.  It’s not about me, it’s about my Lord who has created this bright new path for my life.  I am so incredibly blessed!
