It all started with a passion and dream for something amazing. I want to encourage people with sharing my life and views with others, like how I have struggled with anxiety and OCDs. I also have been very hard on myself my whole life and always put myself down for what I wasn’t, rather than being thankful to God for all that he created me to be. I always have dreamed big I just never knew what my calling was. One of my biggest fears was that one day I would wake up and say I wish I would have used my skills and inner desires in my heart to fulfill my God given purpose. I have always wanted to have my own business I would always try something then give up to easy if it never worked out. I made up my own business cards and filers and sent them out hoping someone would need help in their home with cooking, cleaning and organizing for people. I also thought I should start my own catering company, because I love cooking so much it comes to me so natural and I love nothing more than to create something healthy and delicious out of nothing and have someone truly enjoy it that brings me so much joy. It’s funny how I always beat myself up for my mistakes or how I would give up on jobs because I was dealing with so much anxiety. I know now that what may be hard for us at the time, It’s ok because God uses are struggles and experiences in life good or bad to help us help someone else. When I was off work for so long just searching and waiting for my time for something to come together for me and my dreams, I realized that that Gods purpose for was to share my heart and encouragement with those that needed it the most. When I wasn’t working I was going through a tough time just because I would beat myself up because I felt like I wasn’t doing making money or moving forward in life. I know that now moving forward in life has nothing to do with what your doing for work it’s how your moving forward in trusting God and growing closer to him. I am a very busy person my thoughts race and I just can’t sit still I always have to be doing something. It never was hard work that I was a afraid of it was just my anxiety of knowing I was created for something much better then what I was doing. Working in restaurants was what I thought I had to do because I loved cooking so much I tried working in kitchens for a while but I always knew that no matter where I was working I was being taken advantage of because I worked so hard. Someone told me that I needed to safe my energy and dreams for myself because I would be wasting my time giving all my good ideas a way for free. I didn’t know what to do so everyday I would ask God who needs my help what can I do to make someone’s day a little bit better, So I would always get out of the house and go for a walk or run and talk to God and do some soul searching, then I would eat a healthy breakfast and go on with my day I would try to meet the needs of others and encourage people in anyway that I could like do moms nails by someone flowers make my family dinners and whatever else I could do. I have so many people in my life that listen to me and I know it’s not always easy because I talk a whole lot. I have so many people that would help me and support me. I always appreciate everything my family does for me but I would still beat myself up because I wasn’t earning my own living. I have always dreamed of buying my own house and being very successful, not only for myself buy for others to benefit from I truly believe that our gifts are meant to been shared with others because when you give a gift someone has to receive it. really is amazing how making someone else happy can really make you happy. I want to have a show that I can talk and encourage people and help them through what they are going through. I want to bring the outdoors inside and have a different spot and backdrop for people who don’t have time to get out there. Then I would cook something in my kitchen something healthy and fresh and easy to learn to make for their families. It’s funny how all a long I was praying for things that I thought I wanted like to have my own catering company but God know what my real calling was and that is helping people in anyway that I can and if that means using my past to encourage someone else s present problems. I was thinking one day what do I love to do the most and what brings the most passion out in my life and it just came to me use all your gitfs and passions and do them all to bring joy to those that need it most. I will not let this dream die, I am going to start my show called Andrea’s recipes for life! I’m going to take a chance and dare to my dream a reality. I am going to have my own show, and if this is Gods will for my life then nothing can get in the way!
