I heard two great Radio messages this past week that really opened my eyes and heart to Gods calling.
The first one was a woman telling about how to be confident in your self. To really know your abilities, your strengths and weakness. To take pride in what you do and what you do well. I was very touched by this message because it made think about what my strengths are. As I listed my strengths and abilities(mentally because I was driving), I began to feel that perhaps they were insignificant. A two of my strengths are my creativity and design talent. IT got me to thinking, will I really ever make a difference or be the next Mother Theresa by becoming a Home Stager and Designer.I mean I want to design rooms, and living spaces, it is not really anything that special.
Well, that thought was way off. Because as I was thinking that and turning my strengths negatively around in my head. God was already working in my heart. As the week progressed I continued to have those negatives thoughts, until I heard another Radio Program. This time it was a preacher talking about God and how he designed each one of us just right. How we are all His works, and God doesn't make mistakes. Wait hold on, did I just get a rebuking from God through XM radio. So if that is correct which I believe it is. Then God is the Great Designer! He designs, He has creativity. He doesn't have a typical 9-5 desk job. He made everything, He Designed everything. OK that hit home, because it made me realize that people need design. They need people like me to give that to them. Just as I need an accountant for my finances, because I cant possibly do it on my own. Someone needs me to give them a fresh look to their home. I shouldn't belittle my work, because after all the Heavenly Father created me and made me in His perfect design. I know first hand what Joy a great space can give to someone. I know what peace someone can get out of an organized room that was once so cluttered you couldn't make sense of it. I know what satisfaction I get out of helping people in this way. I also know what it means to someone when you help them close a chapter in their life to open the next chapter. I believe wholeheartedly that is what I can achieve through Home Staging.
What are your strengths and talents? Do you give God the credit He deserves for giving you those abilities? Do you use those strengths in a positive way? Take time really list your strengths, no matter how little you think there are. Incorporate those strengths in your work, and daily life. God Bless.
