Time to tap into my roots...

-


By roots I mean that I wanted to be a cosmetologist... My Senior year of high school I was going to take that path - cosmetology school that is... it is an honest and noble profession. My Aunt whom I admire greatly and her son both have their license to practice the art... However someone I trusted beyond measure, somehow convinced me to go to college and try that "for a year" . He was an up an coming Attorney in Riverside and I was the babysitter for his 3 young children. He was the voice of God that evening on the drive home because as they say - the rest is history... I am HAPPY to help my daughter color her hair in stages having to spend two days because I miss spots... But I'm even HAPPIER because I became a Teacher and followed the path God had chosen for me.

Quit accusing me of crimes I didn't commit!  so I wrote this:  If I corrected you for using the "wrong hashtag" it was because I care about the cause we are supporting. I wanted it to get the credi...

Moving Forward

I haven't announced to the world that I was let go - until today. Now I can be at peace and move forward. Back in May I placed a huge decision in God's hands. I completely placed my life and the direction it would go at the mercy of HIS WILL... of course I *thought* His Will was safe and secure, but in fact, God has a way of surprising us. In a crazy turn of events my contract as a Teacher with St. Catherine's School was not renewed for the 2019-20 school year. I find myself continuing to Trust God i n ways surprising even myself. I have many talents, and teaching was only 1 of them. God has set a different path before me for now and I look forward to the adventure it brings me. I have accepted a part time position with Apples and Oranges Food Service and will also be working my scrapbooking business again. Both, I am confident, will bring me joy, allow me to spend time with my family, and leave my heart open to hear God's call. Often God shuts a door in our face so...
