Hey! Happy Friday!!!
I was sitting down looking at all of my previous posts. I think their good, but, I started to think about the very real challenges that mompreneurs face every single day - like divorce, weight-loss, winning clients, losing clients, work/life issues, feeling loved, feeling appreciated and so on. And while inspiration is great and very much needed, sometimes, what it takes to break through a challenge, or leap to the next level, is just gettin' real!
So, today, I thought I would put out my challenges and see if there are any other mompreneurs out there that would like to join in and share what their challenges are:)
Starting this September, i will be going back to school to pursue my Masters Degree in Counseling. And, honestly, I am scared! In my mind, I say to myself that I am the one who is supposed to be the cheerleader. I am the one that partners with my clients to create amazing businesses and amazing lives. And, if I admit that I am terrified, and expose my vulnerability, what will that say about me? I also have swirling through my mind at every given moment that I am a single mom caring for two children......am I crazy for choosing to back to school????? Am I insane...perhaps temporary insanity?
I have to admit that I have been praying ALLOOTTT lately. And everytime, I go within and connect with the Lord, the answer always comes and it is clear. Not only clear, but crystal clear. That this is my path. That this is exactly where I am supposed to be and that everything will work out exactly the way it was planned.
I may not know the hows and the whys, but I do know that I need to yield and to trust in God that he's got my back and that as I follow him, I will be fulfilling my true purpose for His good works, not mine.
I also know that fear will feed the principles of fear and faith will feed the principles of faith, and today, here and now, I choose to feed the principles of faith! I choose to look fear in the face and refuse to allow him to park in my mind!
One thing that I have learned over time and in sharing in such beautiful blessings as well as heart wrenching tragedies and losses, is that nothing is a complete disaster. Even a forest that has been burnt down to the ground has a re-birth and will grow once again to be a beautiful, majestic creation. There is always a solution and there is always hope. Life isn't always pretty and it isn't always perfect. But, we are alive. We are blessed.
So, please share your challenges and thoughts :) I would love to hear from you and connect:)
