JOY!!!

I'm 3 people! Not really of course. I just have three different jobs that I do aside from my everyday mom/wife/friend roles.

#1 - I'm a music teacher. I love this part of me!!! It's my deep down true passion. My student list continues to grow which is amazing during this time of recession. I thought that since music lessons are an extra expense that I would have one or two students. Not so.. I have 5 regular students scheduled and 2 more starting in a couple weeks. What a wonderful blessing that God is allowing me... to work within my passion.

#2 - I make cakes! Yes...i know...can you say DIFFERENT! Well, something you might not know about me is I also have a passion for art. I rarely get to express this on paper but apparently it translates to cake very well. I'm having so much fun doing this. My goal is always to make a cake that is not only beautiful to look at, but also AMAZING to eat. I mean, what's a cake if it is not good to eat?

#3 - Lastly is my sound engineer me. This part of me is the techy geek part of me. I love the intricacies of making a group of musicians sound amazing and pulling off professional productions. Who says a worship service has to sound amateur (A little controversial in many ways)? I've continued to grow and develop this part of me over the last 9 1/2 years with the help of amazing men around me. I really have not come across any other girls yet. I'm sure they are out there. I would love to meet them actually. I look forward to the growth that is ahead of me because there is so much more I can learn and want to do with this.

So, all this to say I love how God has placed in my lap some amazing opportunities to serve others. That is how I see all this by the way. Every single one of my jobs is hopefully bringing a small bit of God's joy to others. There are many VERY serious things going on all over the world. I never want to pretend, ignore, or diminish the struggles of so many. However, by serving others in these small ways and bringing a small bit of joy to their otherwise stressful lives, I get to see the JOY God so much wants to bring us ALL.
