Hello my faithful readers. I have been away for too long. The truth is, I've cheated on you. The time I would normally spend here has been replaced. Not with bad things, but my life has been overtaken by them, and I am now realizing that I need to slow down and reincorporate time for the great stuff in my life I have left behind.
As I'm sure most of you know, I am now a Mary Kay Beauty Consultant! I LOVE it! But, typical for me, I have immersed myself in it. Mary Kay is not bad by any means, and it is not bad for me - I simply need to slow down a bit so I can do other things I love as well!
Mary Kay Ash built her company on the principal, "God First. Family Second. Career Third." I cherish that statement, but, unfortunately, I feel like I have reversed it. What I need to do is bring my focus back to God - not so much of God using me. God used me even when I didn't know I was being used. Now, I feel like I've got a "big head" about how God is using me (like I know, right?)
So, after this week is over, I am going to S L O W down. I am going to open up my "A Confident Heart" book again, and start over. I am going to go to church on Sundays, and I am going to spend time with my family. Career can't be first. It doesn't work that way.
