Morning Realizations

Quick backstory - I became a jeweler with Premier Designs in December and since have done really well with it. I stopped Mary Kay (whew!) and last month did over $3000 in retail sales working six shows!!!

My Premier "grandmama" is Kelly Wong and she invited me to her church on Friday night for their quarterly "girlfriends" event. We ate dinner, went to two classes of our choice, and then had an ice cream social. I had SUCH a good time.  Incidentally, my choice of classes was Red Hot Monogamy and How to Study the Bible.   (Siobhan - "reading Bible stories??")

My Premier "great-grandmama" is Elizabeth Mahusey and she was the teacher of the Red Hot Monogamy class!

**do not be fooled by the "grandmama" and "great-grandmama." These ladies are only slightly older than me and they both look a-MA-zing!

My "revelation" came to me while I made eggs for my boys before scooting them off to our church's early service with their daddy. These are my thoughts:

"It is no mistake that Elizabeth and Kelly were placed in my life. They are both moms with older boys and Elizabeth is teaching me about prayer and how to be a godly wife (and a red-hot one), and Kelly shares my love for Dave Ramsey and we all love to coupon. This is no mistake that I (God) have put you there with them, now."

Elizabeth has two boys. Kelly has two boys. I have my third coming but they understand being outnumbered and perhaps that longing for a girl. They are such godly women and I love being in their space. I love how they encourage me and stretch out their arms to me and I am so thankful for Premier - not only for the money, but for the spiritual growth and maturity I am learning from them and the kindness and humility.

I loved Mary Kay - I still think they have a fantastic product because I still use it - and the Company is incredible as well. BUT, when it comes to the true heart of the business, I'll choose Premier every single time.


**PS: I felt the baby kick last night.  DO NOT tell me it is too early. I have had two children and I know a kick when I feel it. It surprised me but he kicked twice and then I felt the wonderful flutterings of him moving and I praised God and bonded with my baby in the wee hours of the morning when the nauseousness had taken over and I couldn't fall asleep.**
