Me in front of my construction project!
Lately it’s been the usual schedule for me work, church, community group, lunch with kids, work on make-up lab construction, etc. Last week, I got a phone call for a job only 5 minutes from my house. A cake job. 4 days with just two people to make up for high def. I told the lady I would call her back. Something in my spirit made me feel uneasy about the job. I had had a small one day fall through two weeks prior. It was on a weekend, so it didn’t interfere with my work at my regular gig. I talked to a friend from work and told her about the job. To do this job was going to require me to not work my regular job and this past week was the once-a-month heavy week! I started getting afraid that if I took the job it could be cancelled. It was a lot of money. I knew there was no one available to cover me at work. She said and I knew that if your spirit is uneasy about this, it can’t be from God and God will bless me if I don’t take it. See, I had been praying for a big job because they had cut my hours at work. It made things here at home very tight as far as, bills are concerned. It came on an inconvenient week. Everyone at work would have to pick up my schedule and it was already a jammed week. I called the lady back and thanked her for offering me the job, but there wasn’t an easy way to clear my schedule to do it. I sighed and went on through the weekend knowing I did the right thing, but I sure needed that money. I know,God will provide!
Monday morning, I get approached by the guys in Marketing to help them out with a project. They will be doing a morph effect for a spot from a mannequin to a human. Not a big deal except the mannequins do not look like the actress. They look Asian with eyebrows in the wrong place. They asked me if I could fix them. I will have pictures next week of that project. I fixed the mannequins, but I get to do the mannequins’ colors on the actress as part of the morph! I am so stoked and I thanked God for some creativity. My job is the same everyday. Same makeup with no change ups. That is very hard for me to not get to create.Then I got asked to put hair on the head of a man who shaves his head, but used to wear a ponytail just in the back with the rest of his head shaved. I am venting that to have ready for Friday of this coming week. Once again,I thanked God for letting me use my gifts for Him. So you see, God blessed me with these projects. It gave me overtime hours on this past week and this coming week. It’s not as much money as I wanted, but God knew what I needed.
