"tu me manques"

Ok, Ok, I have missed you all so much! I am sorry I became M.I.A. but I have a good excuse for it and some really exciting news that I must share...

Back on January 20th, we went to church like just about every other Sunday but little did I know that the sermon was going to literally speak to my heart and light a fire underneath me. 

As, you all know, 2012 was honestly a very hard year for me, career-wise. I was really just not happy and felt like I was wasting precious time in a dead-end situation. I felt stuck and unappreciated; the worst combination if you ask me. I walked into that church a scared, little girl about what was ahead of me and walked out a woman on a mission with my future at my fingertips!

The sermon series was about listening to your heart's true desires and what God has bred you for. How the Lord puts certain desires in your heart that usually line up with your natural gifts and talents and how they tend to follow you through your life. 

I sat there in that chair and started thinking about what is something that I have always been interested in and could genuinely have a knack for... That is when I literally heard my heart say... Houses! I have always just had this interest in the housing market and could go on and on giving examples of the different signs over the years that have pointed to this being what I need to do. 

Two days later, I was online signing up for my first real estate class. I decided that this year would not be just another year "wasted". I had been praying for direction and at that moment I felt like I got it. I have spent the last six months working full time and going to school (doesn't leave much free time). I finally finished my classes at the end of May and just this past Saturday, after obsessively studying as much as I could, I took the state exam and passed! My hardwork paid off and I am now officially a licensed real estate agent of the great state of Texas. Pretty exciting right!?! But what is even more exciting is that now that my free-time is not being solely taken up by real estate terms & definitions or state laws I can chat with you all more! Yippeee!

So, with all that being said, I just want to say thank you to all of you for sticking by me and being so supportive! I really do have the best people in my life right now and I am truely blessed to have all of you!
