I do plan on adding my part 2 to the “Career Change” post, but for the moment I thought I would share my latest venture. I am going to try my hand at an art form completely new to me. My husband and I are in full time ministry raising our own support for years, so I have been praying for several months, asking the Lord for creative ideas to supplement our income. With many of our supporters having financial struggles we have hit our own patch of difficulty, though we have been amazed at how God has provided for us.
For two days I have been in a swirl of excitement because I’ve had that feeling in the pit of my stomach that I just stumbled upon a good idea that may prove to be a great idea. I am going to take up cake decorating. I have no idea how it will all turn out, and I’ll probably have TONS of mess ups, but I’m diving in regardless, daring to believe that I could be one incredible cake artist. Thankfully I’m right-brained and love to bake, so that’s half the battle.
Fingers crossed.

This is the first time I’ve read your blog – came over here from Zack’s.
But, I was excited for you when I read this post about cake decorating. I have a friend who is a Mom, as well, and started doing this exact same thing up in Iowa and it’s ‘exploded’. She now does classes, too, and loves it. I don’t know if you know of anyone else doing this, but if you’re interested, let me know and I could connect you and give you her web site. 
Blessings!

That’s awesome! I’d love her website!

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I thought I’d had the right site and then realized I didn’t. Anyway, I just talked to my friend and got the information again. The web site is: http://www.indulgentmoments.com. Her name is Kristin Schroeder. Another guy founded the company, I guess, but she’s working with him now. Anyway, she also said she’d love to talk to you, if you’re up for giving her a call. She said she’d give you the ‘run down’!
So, if you’re interested her phone number is: (515) 289-8375. Blessings to you as you step out in this new venture. As I’ve read your posts, I keep thinking of this quote from the book “Waking the Dead” by John Eldredge. It’s “The Glory of God is man fully alive.” I don’t know you, but just by reading your writing, you seem so fully alive in doing this and what glory that brings to God! I love it! ENJOY!
