New beginnings.
Three flowers bakery is a dream that has to sleep a while. Pastry school was a lesson in rebellion and obedience. I told myself I was stepping out in faith, but I was actually trying to force God's hand and timing. I know that when we willfully follow our on stubborn desires God can still use us, and the skills I learned in school are very valuable. I think maybe the lessons I learned about obedience and self-restraint are more valuable. My battle against selfishness continues. I pray now that God would help me to learn to have a content heart and rest in Him. Someday, here or There, I will understand what I am supposed to do with all my ambition. Until then I refocus appropriately, (off myself and onto Him), and invest myself in the great loves of my life.
