ESCAPING AVERAGE

A WHILE AGO I HEARD ONE OF MY FAVORITE PEOPLE SAY, DO WHAT YOU LOVE AND THE  MONEY WILL COME! WELL  I THEN REALIZED I WAS ON THE RIGHT PATH. I HAPPILY LEARNED THAT I HAD INCORPERATED THIS STYLE OF THINKING YEARS AGO WHILE READING "THE POWER OF  POSITIVE THINKING.
AFTER MARRYING IN 1986, I WAS THEN ABLE TO PURSUE MY FIRST LOVE,TEACHING.STARTING WITH THE YOUNG PEOPLE, IN 1978, I QUICKLY MOVED UP TO BECOMING SUPERINTENDENT OF THE NATIONAL SUNDAY SCHOOL DEPARTMENT. I THEN BEGAN WRITING AND COMPOSING THE TEACHING MATERIAL AND THE ENTIRE CURRICULAM.(MY SECOND LOVE WRITING) SOON AFTER KICKING FEAR IN THE FACE I BEGAN TEACHING THE WOMENS DEPARTMENT AND MENTORING YOUNGER WOMEN AS GOD SAW FIT.

NOW MONEY WAS NOT A FACTOR IN THESE ENDEAVORS, JUST A GREAT INWARD PLEASURE THAT I FOUND MY NICHE, SOMETHING I WAS GOOD AT AND ABSOLUTLY LOVE DOING IT.WHEN I BEGAN ASKING GOD WHAT ELSE WAS I GOOD AT THAT COULD PAY ME AS WELL, I REALIZED I HAD BEEN DOING IT ALL OF MY LIFE.HAIR!!!! I THEN WENT TO SCHOOL AND BECAME LISCENSED TO BECOME A HAIR DESIGNER. SOMETHING ELSE I LOVED DOING.

I NOW AM LISTENING TO JON ACUFF. REALIZING THAT I HAVE SUCCESSFULLY FOLLOWED THE PATH FROM LEARNING TO GUIDING, I TOO AM BEGINING AGAIN! THOUGH I FEEL MY ENTIRE LIFE HAS BEEN AND ALWAYS WILL BE ABOUT LEARNING AND SHARING AND GROWING AND STARTING AGAIN AND AGAIN. I REALIZE I WANT TO STAY PLIABLE BEING ABLE TO ADJUST AND TO FIT IN ANY PLACE THAT GOD MAY LEAD. I ALWAYS HOWEVER WANT TO KNOW AND NEED TO KNOW WHERE I AM NOW! THEN I CAN MOVE FORWARD,

MY LIFE FOR ME HAS ALWAYS BEEN ABOUT PASSION. I CAN ONLY SUCCESSFULLY DO WHAT I AM PASSIONATE ABOUT! I AM EASILY MOTIVATED WHEN I'M PLANTED IN THE RIGHT SOIL. I AM INTRIGED BY THIS WRITER AND THE WAY HE THINKS.  AND THIS IS ONLY CHAPTER 1!!!!
