Worries......

Are you the worrying type? I am. I pretty much worry about everything, even the littlest thing. I will not bore you all, of what things I worry about. I am just a worrier.

Lately, I have a lot of things that I worry about, concerns that are putting a stress on me. What should I do? Am I trying enough? Should I give up? Should I do something else? What am I doing wrong? Questions that I am trying to find answers to. This have got nothing to do with my relationship, just the situation that we are in right now (finding a job, my business, bills etc...)

"[Cast] all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you."
~1 Peter 5:7~

I am at a point that I don't know what else to do, what and how to feel. Should I even be worried or am I just over reacting?

This morning I talked to HIM, I told HIM everything.....how I feel, my worries, my concerns, my dreams, our plans, my hopes, our goals....everything. I cried... I asked for HIS guidance, for HIS help, for HIS understanding and for forgiveness on how and what I am feeling. I do this a lot of times. All the time, it makes me feel better. I get to look at things diferrently. It gives me a better outlook in life.

"Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin?
And not one of them falls to the ground
apart from your Father's will."
~Matthew 10:29~

It gives me a newer strength to know that HE will always be there for us. He will not give us trials that we cannot bear, that is more than what we can handle. I might just be over reacting. I know we are fortunate, we are blessed. I have a lot to thank for. I know HE loves me, HE loves us and HE is always there for us. I know we will be fine. I might just have to work harder, try harder and make sure to offer everything to HIM. Everything will happen and fall into place according to HIS will, according to HIS plan and not according to how I want it or what I want.

"Come to ME and I will give you rest."

Van's Weather Kid

Yes, Dominique (Nikki as we fondly call her) get to be Van's Weather Kid (FOX 8 WGHP)! She had a blast! It was such a wonderful feeling to see her had so much fun and touching to see her fulfilled her dream of being a weather kid and to be on tv. To see her excitement and how much fun she had is just priceless.

Thanks to Mr. Van Denton for doing the weather kid and giving all the kids a chance to fulfill their dream. I also would like to thank everyone at FOX 8 WGHP for being so nice and welcoming and for giving us a wonderful and memorable time. You can watch the VIDEO HERE.

Custom Wrappers By C

I have been making customized teabag covers and lollipop covers for almost 4 years now (not continuously though). I enjoy making them as much I enjoy doing websites. I got busy with other things like network marketing, online sales and the likes that it kind of take the back seat for a while. But, today, I will be adding this service to my Designs By Charina business. I will offer this service in addition to my custom web design service. These are the two things that I enjoy doing the most and I would be glad to offer these services to you all.

Customized Teabag Covers and Lollipop Covers are a good way to promote your business. Personalized it with your company logo, business information, contact info and current promotion. Include it in your gift baskets as a customer appreciation gift, as a giveaway or just to hand out at vendor events, fairs, flea markets or even leave it at your local banks.

Visit www.DesignsByCharina.com now and let me help you customized a wrapper for your business or special event. Just click on the Custom Wrappers by C in the left navigation of my SITE to find out more info about it.

Guess What?????!

I worked and worked on sample sites for Mr. and Mrs. F. today. And yes, I am back to my old creative self! Yes, the ideas just keep flowing and I am so proud and happy with what I come up with! I can't wait to work on the actual site! That will have to wait till I know for sure what design they want to go with.

The more I work and the more projects I get, the more I realized how much I love my job! Yes, I consider this my job and not just a hobby. It is something that I would love to do as long as I can.
It really made a difference that I asked for God's Blessings. I always pray and ask for blessings for my family and most of the time I forgot about myself. This morning, I asked one for myself too. I offered my day to HIM. I asked for patience and guidance. I asked for wisdom and understanding. It sure made a difference...

Isn't it nice if you enjoy what you do? If it makes you a better person, if it makes you grow as a person? This is my kind of job....

How about you? Do you feel this way about your job?

Exhausted Mind....

Well, it's been a while since my last post. I don't know what really got into me. It feels like my brain is empty and yet it's not. Weird huh? I guess I am just excited...and out of too much excitement, it stressed me out. I have so much things in my mind lately, so many design ideas for Mr. and Mrs. F's website. I feel like am so wore out that I don't want to think anymore. Have you ever had that feeling?

So, I decided to take a break. I finally decided to put my hands up for a while and just take it easy. And guess what, it was just what I needed! For the design dilemma, I finally was able to put together (incorporate) the designs that I wanted. I will just have to wait for their final approval on what design they want to go with. Then, I have another new prospective client that I am waiting to hear from, I hope and pray they go with me.

Construction of our house is a little slow. They finally poured the cement on the porch and have the roof trusses in there. Maybe in a few days there would be some additions to it.

Nikki's first week of school went very well. She is doing great and adjusted very well with the 2nd graders. Today she went fishing with her Dad, my hubby, since she is out of school for Labor Day. Then, we went to town to get an apple peeler, slicer, corer...let me tell you, this little machine is just awesome!

The job hunting? No luck yet. I am still looking. I am leaving everything up to God. I know he have better plans and knows what would be best for me and our family. I know the right job will come along. My goal right now is for Designs By Charina to get three new regular web design/redesign projects a month. I hope and pray that God will help me achieve this goal. I will be forever grateful... imagine, I get to do what I want to do most, I also will get to stay home to take care of my family and get to help financially. I am looking forward to it....

Until next time!
