It all started this week. The beginning of my continuation into my entrepreneurial life. And life is hard. Jack just got home from over a week in the hospital following "the crash", school started and I am non-weight bearing on my right leg, status post foot surgery. My DRIVING leg. Yet, I got my homework done, closed a real estate deal and kept up as best as I could with the household with lots of help from the fam and Grammy--and the LORD. I cannot adequately describe the support and uplifting I have received from Him and I know He will walk this difficult path with me. As the saying goes, "I can do hard things, but with Christ, I can do all things".
I'm looking forward to figuring out what I want and how to contribute to the world. If we are the Lord's hands, I am going to try to give him something to work with! I was really caught up with Elder Bednar's talk about living for Christ. It was an interesting spin on a topic that I haven't considered on a very deep level. I commit to finding and understanding my spiritual gifts and applying them as He would have me do. I commit to building the kingdom and making life better for others. I have a big, terrifying dream and I'm not sure how to achieve it, but if it's His will, I will find the way He has prepared for me.
What I know about myself, professionally:
I love to work for myself.
I must have freedom to pursue what I feel is good and flexibility in my schedule to spend time with cherished people, developing talents and pursuing hobbies.
I love to contribute in a meaningful way.
I want to make life better for others.
I hate monotony.
I need challenges to thrive and stay motivated and interested.
I ADORE positive collaboration and seek out other opinions and experiences.
