I’ve had to pinch myself a few times!
Ask myself, “Did I really get that phone call?”…
Talk about it… so that I know it’s for real..
Keep thinking about it and smiling…
Saying “Thank You” hundreds of times to my Lord…
You see… I finally got the job I’ve wanted ever since I was a little girl…
My dream…
My hope…
My talent put to use…
and just perfectly fits my life at this time…
God is good!… and when the time is right… prayers are indeed answered…
I have to give praise for this wonderful happening that has been given me…
I had taken a painting class about two months ago… and while there… I happened to ask the owners, “Do you need someone to teach the painting classes?”…
and they said, “As a matter of fact we will need someone!… in a month or two when we move to a larger location”…
What was so surprising… they were quite impressed with my “natural” talent… and took my phone number…
Painting class I took with daughter-in-law…
The new location was only a store over from their immediate shop… so the location was ideal for me… less than 15 minutes away from my home…
I was elated!… that they seemed interested…
and this past week the owner called and wanted to now if I was still interested…
YES!… I wanted to shout!… Yes, indeed! …
I bet I was grinning from ear to ear!…
She wanted me to come in for a class and just paint again along with the customers that had signed up… taking some mental notes as to how they did things…
I had been one other time for a class with a friend of mine… so I was learning their ways already… and liked what I saw…
We painted a Lake Scene… and I talked to all of the customers just to get a feel of what that would be like…
I love that part of course!… I love people… listening to them… and connecting…
I do think I have a natural teaching ability too…
I’ve never had the opportunity for college… but, the jobs that I have had… have prepared me well…
This company will also be opening a new shop in Elizabethtown, KY… not too far from Louisville… So, I feel I am getting in on the ground floor as to speak…
( There was a movie called “Elizabethtown“ out a few years back… filmed in this small town)
The company called KOCH and CO. … have become busier since I first painted with my daughter-in-law over two months ago…
That’s a good thing for sure!
So it will be part-time… Money is good … will have a helper and all I have to do is teach the class…
I will have a couple of practice class sessions to begin with… being critiqued as to where I might need some help…
but, then will be on my own…
My goal / dream being reached in my lifetime…
