We have all had people tell us or ask us, "what are you going to be when you grow up"?
My family is still wondering...... I have had numerous carreers, whatever it took to raise my 3 children. Fast Food Manager, Hardware (my favorite), an EMT in ER/Trauma, and now pursuing a carreer that has been pounding in my spirit since my teenage years...
My family has a rich history in ministerial work, but being a woman, and then add a diverse lifestyle on top of that, has you being told "You can't do that". Sorry, it took me 35 years to realize God didn;t say that, man did. So I begin a hard journey in Christian Ministry, against the odds, against family beliefs, and on my own. If I am wrong, then it is up to God to tell me that in the end. My spirit leaps within me when I follow what He is telling me to do.
I know there are those out there that will ridicule and "preach at" me, so be it, bring it on... If you are attacking me, then you are leaving everyone else alone.
I am so in love with life and my Lord. He is so Awesome, and never lets you down. If you are going through a hard time, hang on, He is there.
