I am on this journey of self-discovery, and I am learning to do things I thought I never would. I guess that’s a good thing, or at least I think it is (I’m still trying to figure that one out). I have always depended on other people. Not because I had to, but because that’s just the way it’s always been. I was never handy around the house. I can take things apart, but putting them back together is a whole different thing. I mean, I know what my gifts and skill levels are, and I have never had a problem letting others know I need help. But lately, I am doing things for myself by myself. That…is new for me. 

I’m not sure when it started. Maybe I just got tired of waiting for everyone else to find time to help me. Whatever it is, nowadays I’m finding that either handymen (or women) have more work than they know what to do with, or they have been working on their own projects. 

So, that means I have to step up. But, God is giving me this confidence I never had before. And I find myself feeling so excited. It’s empowering. Before I have even completed one project, I am already making plans for the next one. It’s really kinda cool. I am liking this new me. Although… physically I am stretching muscles I didn’t know I had…lol.

A friend recently suggested that I just pay someone to do things for me. That sounds good, but I reminded her that people no longer work for pizza and a six pack. That means that I will have to do at least the smaller projects on my own. I don’t mind though. Since I have hired myself, I can work when I am ready. I can work all day, and take the whole next week off if I want to. I can do half a job today, and do the rest next month. Of course, it will take me longer, but who cares? I’m just enjoying the journey.

Until next time…

Be blessed
