A little bit today on work at home/ stay at home/ homeschooling/ marketplace/city /rural life and all the thoughts that go along with that.

I'm so glad I listened to God when He told me to paint. It has led to many open doors for me as a Christian sharing the gospel, as a mother, financially, among other things.

The important thing is to not look around at what everyone else is doing but to be confident in Gods voice in your life and in your gifts and talents and what He has put in you!

I have had so much opportunity in the past 12 years its almost ridiculous. And to think if I had listened to people who were just type casting me, I would have missed all of this. All of the ministry and joy! All of the using what God put in me to grow and advance the kingdom. I get to do it and it's a pleasure. I don't have to do it, but I want to!! I get to!!
