Workin' my J E L L Y!!!!!

What a blog post title ey'? Though I like the kind of jelly in the picture, that's not what I've been workin' lately though.....Lol! But I have been jigglin' it though in a good kind of way....(and no I don't mean giving myself away either...lol). 2012 has been very emotional for me so far. I shared on facebook the other day that I have experienced just about every emotion possible but the tears that I've shed have definitely not been in vain. Also, I've been thinking about exactly what I want to do & where I would like to be in my life. I am good at sooo many things that its hard for me to choose just one thing to do that I love. I've always been told that if you do what you love everyday then it won't be considered as "work", and that's exactly where I want to be in my life. Right now, I'm still exploring what I'm good at but I truly think I have found my calling. If I could go back & change the major of my Bachelor's & Master's degrees then I surely would, but my Ph.D will be in exactly what I believe I've been called to do and that is in Counseling.

God peanut butter & bread anyone? Lol! *joking*
So, in "workin' my jelly" I started The SHE |in| ME (Encouragement for Women) page on facebook at which I shared in a few earlier posts, I am still creating invitations, decorating for parties, etc,, still pursing my doctoral degree, and my business, Love, Nina Natural Body Butters is still in session! Oh yeah, not to mention that I'm still active in ministry & doing it all by the GRACE of God....Whew...*wipes forehead*. So I've been a busy bee lately, but I am grateful for it all because I want to better myself & provide a better life for my future family. I plan to do at least one more thing before the year is over, Lord's will, and I wholeheartedly think this will be the answer to all of my frustrations and annoyances with my career choices. I bless God for the opportunity to do alot of what I love and I know he isn't through with me yet.

So I ask you, how are you workin' YOUR jelly? What are you good at? Have you been using your skills & talents to help you bring in extra income? I encourage you to dig deep & step out on faith with some things. Yes, fear has gotten the best of all of us, but you will never know what you're capable of doing if you never try. Its time to work our jelly ladies & gents! We are too great not too. Don't worry about what others will say or think and please don't worry about not having this or that because God WILL supply ALL of your needs. Of course before doing anything, make sure you consult with him first. If he gives you the green light, then GO FOR IT! Its time to work with what God blessed ya' mama to give ya', lol! Time waits on no one.....WORK YOUR JELLY & put those talents, skills, & gifts to good use!

Just doing me.....beautifully! Pigtails & all, lol!

    I love this post! As you may know, I've been workin' my "jelly" when it comes to fashion. I always thought that my calling was just music. God has shown me in the last 2 years that it's fashion too. It's funny because about 6 years ago, my mother asked me had I ever considered that part of my calling would be in fashion. I was working at a retail store at the time and was being promoted rather quickly. God has been showing me that I can minister the gospel through music and minister modesty through fashion. Fashion has become the bait used for being a fisher of (wo)men. (Matthew 4:19)

    1. Lol! Feel free to post as much as you want, anytime. I love your fashion sense and there is TRULY a need for more women to shed light on modest fashions. You can still be cute, sexy, & trendy WITHOUT showing all of your skin & curves. I love this idea. Maybe you could even start another blog or website catered to just that....hmmmm *hint hint* You go girl!!!!
