Life is like..

Published by Alyssa Avant under Uncategorized

A box of chocolates, you never know what you’re gonna get!  :)  I mean really! I’m feeling that way today.  Yesterday, out of the blue I hear from a church I haven’t heard from in 5 weeks about a position.  Here I have made up my mind (so I thought) and BAM!  But, I am going to keep on keeping on.  I will go and talk w/ them, but I’m going to keep pursuing my ministry and my BeautiControl business.  I just don’t want to give up on myself, nor do I want to set myself up for failure.  I also don’t want to close any door God is opening.  So… I will continue until he shows me what to do.  I keep praying that he COMMAND me to do what it is he wants me to do. I need for it to be VERY clear.  I want to be in my “sweet spot” as Max Lucado puts it in his new book “Cure for the Common Life.”  That’s where I’m longing to be.

A Report on Friday and my Weekend

Published by Alyssa Avant under Just Me

I am so proud of myself and how much I got done on Friday, I got off the computer at 9:30 am and I worked hard till 3 pm.  I did everything on my list and more.  I was so proud of myself.  I then went to BeautiU on Saturday and had a great day.

Today was a busy Sunday as usual.  I feel God really touched my life tonight though, I have been working on a friendship with a girl in my church that is in a Southern Gospel quartet.  Well they are having a singing on Memorial Day and I had asked her about contributing a door prize for it from BeautiControl.  SHe asked me to come and set up a table and talk about my busienss and my ministry and everything. I am so excited It will be good for both my BeautiControl busienss and my Beauty by Design Ministry. She also said she would take some flyers of mine and put them on their table when they go to other churches and sing.  THis is definitely God’s divine plan. I am super excited about it.  GOd is amazing!

Productive Friday

Published by Alyssa Avant under Uncategorized

I absolutely hate feeling unproductive. I feel like this has been a pretty productive week, but I absolutely hate feeling any other way. I want to feel productive today so  out of the inspiration of reading another person’s blog I’ve decided to clean out my van today, trust me this will not prove to be an easy task. I practically live in my van. SO… it is quite a mess, and we live on a gravel road so it is quite dusty. This should be fun though and its going to be hot outside, so I’m thinking of getting in a bathing suit and getting Baker in his LIttle Swimmers and going at it with the water hose.  I am also planning on finishing up the laundry, and ironing all my capris. Every pair of capris I own has to be ironed, and the weather is going to be in the 90’s for the next week so I”m sure I”ll be needing them.  Tonight Greg and I are going to take Baker to the ballfield to watch some of the kids from church play baseball.    Tomorrow I’m going to BeautiU in Jackson, it’ll prove to be a LONG day.  I’m meeting Jan in Winona at 5:30 AM… yes I said AM! We have errands to run after class so it’ll be 9 pm before I get home.  Greg and Baker are on their own.  Sunday will be a busy day too, we have the Missions Recognition Service at the church the GA’s and RA’s will get their rewards and the YOuth will share about our mission trip to the coast. We made a slideshow of it Wednesday Night. I am excited about showing it.  Well, that’s my weekend plans…Hope everyone has a good one.

Plan your work and work your plan.

Published by Alyssa Avant under Uncategorized

As the old saying goes, “Plan your work, and work your plan.”  That’s exactly what I am planning to do. (no pun intended)  I have a plan for my ministry and for my BeautiControl business and it feels good.  I know if I STICK to it that I can make it work, so I am asking all my online buddies out there to hold me accountable.  July 25 is the day of delivery and I hope that that day I”ll look back and say I did it.  So… please keep lifting me up in your prayers and please encourage me to stick to my plan.  Thanks so much!

Wow

Published by Alyssa Avant under Just Me

I’ve had a good afternoon and night!  Finally things began to take shape and some of my prayers are beginning to be answered.  I have been thinking and praying all day about my Beauty By Design Ministry and BeautiControl beginning to take shape again.  Today I booked 2 spas and I am talking to one potential recruit who I hope to sign up at her spa on May 27.  Also, my newest Recruit from March signed her DIQ at a Regional meeting in Atlanta tonight! WOWEEE!! I’m so proud of her!

ALso my Beauty By Design Website has had 29 visitors today!! I posted a new blog there go check it out at www.beautybydesignonline.com/.  Thanks for all your prayers today keep them up.  I was reading The Cure for the Common Life tonight.  Here’s a quote from it.  “THe Devil is determined to bump you out of your strengths.”  You’re not bumping me… MR. DEVIL!
