Today I went to my local vision store to pick up my new glasses and when I walked in, the doctor asked one of the assistants to fit me. When she turned around and saw me, she exclaimed, “Trena!” ...lol...No, I’m not a local celebrity, heavens no, but this lady and I had spoken before, when I’d gone in to have the glasses ordered. During that visit, she’d asked me what I did since I’d declared I was working from home that day. I explained I was working from home from my main job but I also was an event planner. She got excited because, come to find out, she used to plan events herself a few years ago! Well, we chatted a little more that day, ending with me encouraging her to consider pursuing what she felt was her gift once again.
So, today when she saw me, she was very excited to tell me the string of events that had happened since our last conversation. She’d prayed about it and after speaking with her spiritual advisor at her church, she decided to go back to living in her gift! By the way, she makes chocolate buttercream candies and I must say, I would love to sample some of her wares!! :-)
Needless to say, I was very excited for her and we chatted about it for a little bit more. She gave me her phone number and other contact information, making me promise I’ll get in touch with her. And I will. But…
Here’s the thing…. I prayed for guidance to lead me to MY gift. And yeah, my first thought was to question why I was able to guide others to THEIR solutions but had to wait for my answer on what MY true gift is. Then it came to me….maybe this IS my answer. Maybe my gift is to help others progress in their lives.
Interesting, huh?
