Stealing the Preacher

Stealing the Preacher by Karen Witemeyer is the first book I have had the pleasure of reading by her.  The story of a fathers love for his child is very heartwarming, especially since he is an outlaw Make that former outlaw.  The characters’ are very experienced in plan Bs of life.  The daughter wants to breathe life into the church. The father reforms from being an outlaw for the love of his deceased wife.  Everybody is experiencing an interrupted life.  We all need life interruptions.  They are what make life exciting.  The whole premise of the book is hilarious.  It also has some heartbreaking moments with the little boy across the way.

Getting Paid to do What You love

May 10th 2013
Since moving to Texas nothing has gone as planned.  Of course my life seldom does.  I have spent most of my life this way.  We all have seasons of life and it has been a while since I have experienced a bad one.  On here I have tried to be cheerful and motivating.  In those small moments I really felt that way.  I tend to try to be positive   I usually don't write a review for a book that I don't like, unless seriously provoked. Such as a book I read (part of).  The book was listed in the Christian genre about a preacher.  It turned into a very steamy novel. I wrote a review on Amazon to watch out it was not what it represented.  
That was a rabbit trail wasn't it. I have my I hate days. I hate Texas. I hate this. I hate that, blah blah blah. I look around and see all the blessings I have and I need to pray for forgiveness for not counting my blessings and not focus on what is honorable and what is noble for those are the wellsprings of life.
God is faithful.  Just when I start to run out of money something comes along.  Would I like a job where I went in everyday and made a steady pay check with insurance etc, sure.  I have talked about my love of social media and now I am paid to tweet and monitor a Facebook page.  My official title is Social Media Community Manager.  I am also working on the SEO for the company.  I guess if you put the hours togehter and divided it by what he is paying me I am making approximatly 2 dollars an hour. I will however get the bonus for each person that found us on a Social Media site. After time that will add up.  I will putting together some thing to create community among the other angels and creating a reach into the community. So needless to say I am getting paid to do what I love.

You know the phrase 'Find what you love then figure out a way to get paid for it".  Well I have done it.  I am now the Social Media Community Manager for Visiting Angels. That means I manage the social media pages. Finding relevent content is harder than I thought it would be.  You have to find relevant and lots of it.
