Thank you Lord! I'm quite happy to be working again. Mind you, my current work
is really God sent. Not in an "i think so" way. But, in an "i KNOW so" way.
I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me - Philippians 4:13
I really thought being a WAHM had become a far stretch. My cost of living had
gone up. Naturally, my rate just had to be higher... Suddenly, I found myself
competing against "native" speakers. Sure, I was confident I was as good as them.
I wasn't as confident that people will look past "heritage". And so, I considered
going back to work. I had to think long and hard about that. After all, that meant
sending our 2y.o. M to daycare!!! But he's so young!!!
Then I realized, maybe being a WAHM wasn't just a matter of convenience.
Maybe being a WAHM was really part of God's plan for our family!?! So I
said, "Lord, I will give this my best. That's all I can do. If you want me to be a
Work-At-Home-Mom, then you will give me a work-at-home project/job."
As soon as I meant it, the opportunities arrived and my current work materialized.
Once you're lucky, twice you're good - Tim Ferriss
I have to admit it's taken me quite awhile to share this. And by that I mean I've
been working online since July 2010; fellow Virtual Assistants normally share
their good news much much sooner. It took time for me to share this because
I thought my previous VA work was a stroke of luck. Add to that "well
intentioned" people who hinted that working online was not a viable career.
Thus, it's only now that I'm back working that I can say for sure, this is the
real deal.
And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people
permission to do the same. - Marianne Williamson
The good news that fellow VAs shared in our Facebook Group, really
inspired me when I had my doubts. If they could do it, so could I. Now it's
my turn to pay it forward.
I hope that in some way I have inspired you. Nope, I am not telling you
to quit your job and work at home. Work at home is not for everyone.
Pray about it and discern if this is the direction that the Lord is leading
you. If it is, do know that you are not alone. We are doing it, so can you!
I would like to give special thanks to Jomar Hilario for being an excellent
mentor. Thank you for generously sharing what you know to us all. Thank
