Daniel and I are at new places in life! I am winding down my internship and soon to be graduating after a 5 year stint in college! Wow! That was long enough for me! Looking for a job and even deciding what I want to do has been...well...challenging! I have never been the one to want a persay "career". I have always wanted to be married...check...have kids...one day and stay home! So 1st things 1st we crossed getting married off that list! However, for the sake of my dear husband working is a must for me for now! So I have been praying about what to do and how to go about it and just where in the world God wants me to be! I have tried many avenues of searching and nothing seems to bring peace to my stirring thoughts! So most recently I have decided to finally become certified as a personal trainer and do this part time! I have always said if I must work then I want to start my own business and this is going to be my newest avenue of attempts! I want to train but not in a gym. I want to work with women of all ages and help them acheive a happier, healthier lifestyle! I also decided to look for a part-time job at a private school teaching health, physical education or something like that. Of course, what really happens is all up to the Lord!
Upon my pending graduation I decided it was time to get my creative juices flowing again! While I was taking 1 too many classes I was always eager to decorate, be artistic, scrapbook or try anything that would allow me to be creative! Daniel thought of the genious idea to by me canvas' and make me try to paint! Canvas painting is not really something I am good at but his sake I tried it and miserably failed but that isn't stopping me! So the next idea came! I never know what to buy people for gifts...especially graduation! So I decided for my dear friend Kimmie who was starting her new teaching job to make her a sign that said Miss Tinney's Classroom! Well that was fun! I can paint that! Then it began...I looked for any and every reason...painting all my teacher friends a classroom sign which led to painting bow hanger's for my sister in law who sells custom made hair bows! I love making and designing things and while I may not always be the best at it my husband gently reminded me that God has given me a creative spirit and He takes Joy in the fact that I take Joy in my projects! I have to remember that often because it is so easy to let Satan creep his way in and try to steal that Joy! He finds any and every avenue he can use to do this but I have decided not this time! When you love something and you have fun doing it then it doesn't matter whether you are the best or the worst, or what anyone else says! Your Joy doesn't rest in mere men but it comes from the Lord and whatever avenue He gives you to express this Joy you should take hold of and use it for His Glory!
