THIS IS IT!

For about a week now, I've been doing a test job for a New York-based jewelry designer. I am continuously praying for the Lord's will on this. Out of all the emails I've sent for part time job applications, she was the only one who responded! I couldn't believe my eyes. I never imagined to be as close to where I am right now. But the Lord is giving me a glimpse of this kind of life which I am ever so thankful for.

Here are the reasons why she shouldn't have taken a second look on me:
    1. Fresh from college
    2. Graduated Electronics Engineering (waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay off course!)
    3. Available for Part-time only and she specifically asked for Full-time! (currently doing review school for the October board exams)
    4. No related professional experience whatsoever
So by standards, I couldn't just fit in.

My desire to be in the fashion world has been around since I was little.
My mother told me that when I was about 3 or 4 years old. I visited her in her workplace. Our maid had taken me there. And lo! to my mother's surprise, I was wearing a frilly little gown! Our poor maid got scolded for choosing the gown for me. And all she could say was that, I had picked it myself and that I would burst into a fit if I didn't have my way. I couldn't stop laughing! But then, I remember well how much fashion created my childhood playground. I was the one who wrapped a towel around my body, imagining it was the beautiful long gown  I saw on TV, and danced to the music in my head.

When I was about 10 years old, I learned to draw Anastasia (Disney). That was where my designing career began. I was drawing and drawing and drawing different designs almost every single day that I sat in class. We had cable back then and I would just be content to watch Fashion TV all night! Then I grew up and became "practical" and buried my dreams with my childhood memories.

Despite being of course for a long time, my desire to travel back to my passions has led me to where I am now. The future is scary because I don't know what lies ahead. Typical me. Most people think that this'll be easy for me because I have the talent. But the reality is, I'm just a girl with big dreams. But the Lord continuously gives me encouragement. This is where it matters, more than my family's support and friends' cheers.

A friend once told me that the Lord remembers our desires even if it was from a distant memory. And it hit me how it's happening bit by bit. And I thank the Lord for remembering mine each day.

As for now, I'm starting to make baby steps for my passions. I pray that the Lord will guide me in my endeavors. I would just be so happy to do just this.☺
