She Speaks

Life feels like it is spinning again. We are coming up on a new chapter of our life. Tom is finishing college and has job applications out from Washington to Connecticut! Our adoptions will be finalized in two months and if the need to move comes we will be prepared. Tom has been called to ministry and is ready to go where ever God calls him. He is even praying about military and becoming a chaplain.
Whatever happens and where ever we go I know God is there and God is good. But selfish humanity rises in me as we come closer and closer to graduation. “where do I fit in” and what is my calling?” yes I am a hair stylist and love that profession! I know there is more for me; a greater calling if I just trust God, listen and DO! I haven’t been. I have been scared to try something new. God is gently moving me. I have a disk in my back that has squished my sciatic nerve. Hair is becoming more difficult to do. I am 24, this is not suppose to be happening!
This weekend the family and I were driving home from visiting my grandpa on the west side. I finally broke down and cried out to God. “where do I fit into your plan Lord?” “ what can I do to further your kingdom?’
Proverbs 31 ministries penetrated my thoughts. I have heard the add on K Love many times but never checked into it. I grabbed my phone and checked out the web site. She Speaks Conference info popped up. It talked about writing and speaking. This is exactly what I love doing. Writing and speaking to big groups. I have often dreamt of being a motivational speaker to encourage people to rise up for Christ.
I am putting this in my blog because there is a scholarship available. So, if you are reading this and if you are from the scholarship of She Speaks, I would be a great candidate. I love Jesus and desire to further his kingdom. God is moving me and bringing the desires of my heart to the surface. I would benefit from this immensely! I am a go getter and a do’er . I would love the opportunity to explore and grow God’s gifts He has given me.

Thank you
