Today, I hope you don't mind getting a little deep and spiritual...
Those of you who know me personally know that I've been struggling with an amazing job opportunity thrown at my feet related to my studies. Those of you who know me personally also know that I already have a lot on my plate: family, school, long distance boyfriend, a growing (finally!) Premier Designs business, sorority life, and a passion for blogging in my spare time. The past week I've been in a personal struggle... why did I even think I could fit this in? Should I make it work? It would look great on my resume... Why do I keep adding things to my plate? I've done this before... Long story short I clearly have a case of "eyes bigger than the stomach" that just won't heal.
How I've gotten through it was talking to God. I grew up going to church, but in my adult life I have become significantly closer to God, a lot of which has stemmed from being in Premier Designs, a Biblically based High Fashion Jewelry company. So this past week I've been asking Him what to do, thinking He put this job in front of me to take but confused at why because He already has me doing so much else. Finally yesterday I said no more, I physically don't have time this week to even think about it. It was the practical response, but I got my spiritual answer later last night.
I went to Premier training, which I willing drive an hour to because I just love those ladies so much. We had some people missing, so it was small and intimate, much more personal. I've been to lots of great Premier trainings, but this one was definitely in the top 5. I was just overcome with this reassurance about turning down the resume-boosting job, and overcome with the feeling that Premier is really what I'm meant to do right now.
I don't know how else to explain it, but I just got this feeling last night that everything was right in my little world, that now I'm back on track. I've learned a lot recently about just giving in and trusting in God. He has a plan, and let Him work His magic over you and bless your life. When you do, amazing things happen!
How has God touched you? How have you gotten through tough decisions? Do you over-book yourself like I do?
Thank you for letting me share a bit of what's been going on in my life! Have a happy & blessed Tuesday, my lovely readers!
