Career Paths
Hey friends! As many of you know, I have been praying that God show me which direction He would like me to go in my career. I have many paths that I could choose: teaching, daycare management, public speaking, writing and publishing a book, becoming a realtor, getting my MSW, and on and on... I am not always the best person when it comes to discerning what God's plan is for me. I will continue to pray for this discernment. Please pray for me also, as God loves when we pray for each others' struggles. I am done with my current position in April and need to decide which direction to go at that point. Right now, I will simply continue my Bible study, prayer life, and start writing my testimony. God bless you all and have a wonderful weekend!

5 Things I'm Good At
In continuation of my skills assessment where I previously took a look at my weaknesses, today i will reflect on a few of my positive attributes:
5. Finding stuff online. Random. I know. But I can find absolutely anything online. Of course Pinterest makes that even easier now! : )
4. Being a wife and mommy... I enjoy pleasing my hubby by sending small notes of appreciation and being silly with him. I love helping Lucas explore this big world and learn new skills. I work hard to be a good wife and mom!
3. Motivating and encouraging others. I have came to realize that oftentimes, all people need to encourage and motivate them is a smile and a few positive words.
2. Public speaking. I enjoy getting in front of big groups of people and speaking to them. Whether a sermon or information about FOCC, I simply enjoy engaging people in this way!
1. Seeing and meeting other people's needs. Whether it be Lucas, Travis, friends, or strangers, God has blessed me with the ability to sense people's needs and the compassion to work hard to meet those needs and help them realize their full potential.

5 Things I'm Bad At
I had three interviews this week {exciting, nerve-wrecking, but they all went really well} and this got me to thinking about what I am good and not so good at. For the next two days, I will be reflecting on my skills and abilities. I will start with my not-so-great qualities:
5) Playing basketball... I'm short, I hate running, I have weak ankles. Need I say more? Okay.. so this really doesn't matter at all in relation to my career, but I really wish I could play.
4) Talking on the phone. I much rather prefer emailing, texting, or speaking with people in person. Phone conversation is often long, unfocused, and inconvenient. It seems like most of my phone calls turn into 'phone tag' and we end up emailing or texting each other anyway.
3) Remembering things. Whether it be things that need done {I have sticky notes everywhere} or things I've been told {Travis always has to remind me of things}, I believe I have the worst memory of anyone I've ever met.
2) Staying focused. I'm absolutely spastic and cannot spend too much time on one thing. I like to bounce from one task to another, in order to not get too bored. :) I can't just sit down and do one thing, either- I must be doing more than one task at once. While I'm writing this, I am watching TV, doing laundry, and playing with Daisy! <3
1) Sending thank you's. Unfortunately, I am awful at sitting down and writing thank you letters. We only sent some wedding thank you's and I forgot to send any baby shower ones! I love when I receive them, though, so I should understand their importance.. Maybe this is something that I should work on in 2012!?
