31 days:: day 17 :: happiness is taking a leap

I'm very excited to say that I have a huge pink box waiting on my doorstep for me when I get home! This box contains all the goodies I need to start my Thirty-One business!

I have toyed with the idea of becoming a consultant for Thirty-One before, but I was always on the fence, and it seemed to be more of a "what if", rather than something I was sure I wanted to do. 

However, over the past few months, the Lord has been trying to tell me to do something, but I wasn't quite sure what he wanted me to do.  Being the planner that I am, I know that one day when I have kids and a family of my own, that I won't want to work and be away from home for 13 hours every day, like I am now.  But, I also know that I don't want to wait until that "one day" comes before I figure out how I'll make it work. 

Then, I randomly asked a friend of G's how and when she got started with Thirty-One.  I've heard several successful Thirty-One consultants-turned-directors share their story with me, but it never quite sounded like something for me.  But, I wanted to hear my friend's story.  She's a straight-shootin' kinda gal, so I knew she wouldn't feed me any junk and would tell me exactly like it is.  I messaged her, and she called me the very next day and told me her Thirty-One story.  Right away, I knew this was something for me.  I'm not knocking those other stories- because every single Thirty-One story that I've heard has been successful and awesome, but I just don't think it was for me at the time. 

But there's no time like the present, right?

Shortly after a couple of conversations with J, I was signed up and have been patiently awaiting for the arrival of my big pink box! Thanks to UPS equipping impatient bodies like me with a tracking link, I now know that my start up kit is sitting on my front porch, waiting for me to tear into it.  [Which is not helping this work day pass by any quicker, btw.]

I soon hope that I can share my successful Thirty-One story with everyone, but for now I can tell you that I took a leap of faith, am trusting God to lead me in the right direction, and I am very happy about this!

The point of this post is NOT to shove Thirty-One down your throat, or even to try to convince you to buy my products.  But, I am so incredibly excited about God pointing to Thirty-One that I am genuinely happy about this adventure.  After toying with some part-time "work from home" options, I knew Thrity-One would be good.  After all, the company is named after Proverbs 31, is a Christian based company, and was started by a Godly woman and her husband.  God is good, so this adventure is sure to be good as well!
