LIBERATION

Monday I turned a new leaf in my life. I finally stopped being stubborn and listened to God and have quit my safe little job. This job was costing me more than I was making in a pay check. When what you are doing in your life is affecting you when you leave its time to start trimming the fat out of your life ... I LOST ABOUT 100 pounds on Monday when I walked out!

So what am I doing now you may be asking .... well Monday was the final day of that job and the first day of my CAREER!! I immediately dove straight into my current client, Wayland Baptist University in working on their evacuation maps. So the official establishment of AJK DESIGNS was made the 25th of January 2010!!

It was one of the most liberating days of my life, and my husband was extremely supportive and so was the rest of my family and friends. I can not wait to see where God is going to take this path that he has opened up to me... as my good friend Paula says ... the sky is the limit.

No answers...

Well... it has been a rough weekend. I have learned a lot this weekend in the way that the old saying "rolling with the punches" has so many meanings. One small thing that blows up into a HUGE disaster and there is nothing to do except roll with the punches and be completely out of control in order to let God take control.

Even when it is not the first experience of life taking a hard turn ... it never gets easier. One thing continued to run through my head .... God does not promise our life here on earth will be easy but He promises to never leave us. I have heard that so much in my life that sometimes it just seems cliche but this weekend it rang truer than ever before.

The hardest part is I have been asked questions I HAVE NO ANSWERS to .. but I have FAITH! Faith that if I keep pushing forward with HIS strength that I will find his promises for me and my family. I refuse to give in or give out. I will continue to do my absolute best in everything for Him and for the ones that I love. It will NOT BE EASY by any means but I know my place and it is simply in his kingdom and from there I dont need answers because God has my back!!

A New Inspiration ...

Today ... I have been reminded by my friend Vivien and her blog spot that God takes everyday and pushes us to find Him in it. When faced with LIFE it is easy to become frustrated and forget where you are rather than focusing on where you are not. So today I am beginning my blog in an effort to have an outlet to put down my frustrations into words so that I can work through my biggest battle ... MY MIND.

I do not struggle with the outward human temptations my battle comes from the inside in the war between my head and my heart. I am catagorized as an extrovert type A person which is true in every instance except when it comes to ME. My feelings my personal challenges have always been my problem and there for me to resolve. This has been my biggest struggle in my Christian walk as well in finding the way to let God take care of me. I will fight in prayer for everyone but myself and this is one thing I am determined to change.

I have my dreams and my aspirations and if I do not begin to let God take care of me I will continue to simply remain constant without moving forward to the places God has for me. This my friends I refuse to allow to happen. So if I have any one who decides to read the rambling of my head and my heart and you notice I disappear call me out on it okay? Alright good glad we settled that!

I leave today with Matthew 6:34 in my version ....

STOP GETTING CAUGHT UP IN TOMORROW

GOD HAS THAT UNDER CONTROL ...
