Let me just start with saying "God has a plan for EVERYONE". It is the most wonderful feeling, knowing what God's plan for you is. I just came to realize what God's plan is for me. Okay This is gonna be a long story, but I am so excited to share it with as many people as I can. Monday, May 5, I had a job working for an independent company that service stores such as walmart, kmart, sams and so on. I liked the "flexibility" with the schedule. I also liked my hourly wage. What I didn't like was...the short hours and the travel. With Gas prices skyrocketing I don't want to drive to work. Really, who does? Well some changes were made within the company. I was getting sent 45 minutes away from my home. I don't know how many miles, but it is nothing but stop and go driving on curvy roads. And they wanted me to go there for 2 hrs a day. That is 20 dollars. I would spend that much on gas. Plus I would have to pay daycare. I would be losing money. So I was talking with the director of the day care (which just happens to be down the street) about a job opening. On Friday May 2, I had given her my resume. On Monday May 5, I was invited to come volunteer at the daycare for a day to see what I thought. And I didn't really like it. I was afraid to work there. I told her I didn't know if I could handle the craziness of it and my 4 kids at home. I told her I would get back with her by Tues. or Wednesday. Later that night I was told (very rudely) by my boss that she would not hire anybody closer to work that store. And that I had to do it. So on Monday May 5, I quit. I was contemplating what I was going to do. I really wanted to stay at home and work so I could be with my kids, but we really needed an income. So I was searching around on the Internet, trying to find a home based business for free. And finally I found I fell in love with what the vitamin can do for you. And that it was cheap. And that they give you the business. So I decided I wanted to sign up with GBG. But I knew I didn't even have the money for the vitamin right now. And we are behind on our house and car payments. So I asked my mom if I could borrow the money to start my journy. And she loaned it to me. So I knew that I had a great business to start with. But I also knew that businesses take time to build. And we really needed money while that takes place. By Thursday May 8, I told the Director that I was interested in the job offer, and I was eager to learn, but I ultimately wanted to work from home and when I started making the income from home to take place of the income from there, I would quit. I told her that I didn't know if that would be 3 months 6 months 9 months or even a year. (Just want to share something here. My mom started up her own hair salon business. And they give you 2 years to try and make a profit. that means you can operate for 2 years without making any profit. After that 2 years if you do not have a profit, you can not have a business license.) So anyway, I told her that I felt it would be at least 3 months. So she hired me. My first day was May 12. I had a rough first week. And an even rougher, yet more satisfying second week. And that brings me to the realization of God's plan for me. God has put me in that daycare to learn. I will learn many valuable life lessons there. And also I will be taking Child care classes and will be getting a degree in Child care. But I am also learning a lot about the people I work with. And some of them are great people. I realize that when my business takes off I will be able to help that daycare. Everyone there is like family. I care for all of them. So I will be able to volunteer my time there. And I will be able to donate money to help fund field trips, playground equipment, supplies, and other things for the kids. So when I was first upset about working outside of my home when I wanted to do my business NOW....I now realize that was selfish and not what God had planned for me. Everything is for a reason. So for those of you that made it all the way through this, I want to say, Thank You for taking the time to share my joy. And God Bless All.
