Two years ago I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia, Gastroparesis and Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I thought that these diseases were going to take over my life and that I would forever be overweight and unhealthy. Then something changed. I realized that this is my body and I have control over what goes in to it and that through changing my diet and workout habits I could take control. I have also spent more time in prayer and in scripture learning more about God and how much He loves me. I have been on an incredible journey for the past year and I want to share it with everyone!

The Job You Must Do


What am I suppose to do? I asked that recently and I think I got a resounding answer when a door got slammed in my face. 

You see, almost 3 years ago I set out on the path that I am on now to get my psychology degree and become a counselor, but about a month ago I was offered an awesome job at an antique mall- I love antiques and I was in heaven. The job was for sales and marketing and I jumped right in full speed ahead. I even considered not going for my Master’s once I finish up my Bachelor’s and just continue with what I was given the job for. 

The first week went great. I was told on Friday they would call on Sat and discuss the next week’s hours with me. I didn’t hear anything, but on Monday my boss called and said that he would have me come in later that week. Later that week came and he said it would be the following week. That week came and he said that it would be around Thursday of that week. I never heard back that week. The next week came and finally midweek I emailed and was told that they didn’t have the money to pay me but when they do they will call. 

I think I have the direction that I am suppose to go in. I am to stay on this path and God is showing me that. I think that I have found something that I would actually love to do while finishing up school and not consider giving up my chosen career for- I would actually like to be a virtual assistant or VA. I can be at home like I need to be, be a full time mom and wife like I want to be and still supplement our income until I get my counseling degree. 

As for coaching- I enjoy helping people and I am trying to coach a person here and there without having to charge them for now. I have just really given this a lot of thought and I want to really focus on counseling because that is the path that God has put me on and it is the path that I have to stay on. 

When HE gives you a job, it is the job that you must do.
