WOW! Hard to believe huh? It's here - the day that we never thought we'd see as kids. I remember playing those fun little games as a girl.... you know, the ones that said your 4 best friends, the 4 guys you wanted to marry, the 4 little girl names, pick a number, your 4 fav cars, and then did some crazy math to create the "story" for the future. Anyways, I digress... ha ha!
I've been thinking a lot this week about what this year means to me, what I'd like to change and who I'd like to become. Not as in a new person, but who I would like to allow myself to become in my habits, my ways, my thoughts, my breathes, my existence... it's been a pretty heavy load to ponder, but it's also been an enjoyable time as well.
Over the past year, I have found that my love for my husband and my family has grown more then I even knew was possible. I feel a feeling that I've never felt. Is this getting older or has something within me changed? I tend to believe that it was allowing myself to do the things that God had led me to do .... and following HIS promptings. What is it that you feel God is pulling on your heart to do this year? Will you take that leap of faith and do it, or will you push it aside and wish you had? What things might it free up in your heart if you take that step?
I always knew I wanted to homeschool my children, from the time I was a Senior in high school... odd, don't ya think? I chickened out when Cayden went to Kindergarten and put my business ahead of him. Guess what happened... the house got tense, the biz went south, and my heart ached for the things that I knew God wanted me to do. So after that, I knew I couldn't put Homeschooling aside any longer... i had to give it a whirl! And on top of that, guess what else God dropped in my lap... the Studio!
Yes, homeschooling and a brand new Studio all at the same time... no kidding! So, if you are like me and find yourself saying, "I can't..." --- Guess what, YES YOU CAN! Has it been easy? NO! Has it been hard? YES! Have I tried to be someone that I'm not? YES! But no more... I have decided that I need to be ME for my Clients - that is what got my business going, so why change it to "apease" any other Clients? I want Clients that are like minded, fun natured, fun spirited... and I've found them!
Am I perfect? NO! I still struggle with the same things that you all do, but you know what, with a smile on your face - it's so much easier to endure.
So I challenge you this year... take a jump and do those things that you feel tugging at your heart! You can - you can - you can! And in case you didn't get our Christmas card this year, I tried to emphasize having fun with your family and allowing life to be joyful! Enjoy!
Many hugs,
Jamie
