How I started

How I started is today's  #marchmeetthemaker story... So I guess this has been a slow burn journey, I graduated from uni nearly six years ago studying fashion. In that same month I got married and upped and moved from Birmingham down to Banbury. I struggled for the first year to find my feet in an industry that just seemed dog eat dog where most places you guessed it wanted experience, but no one wanted to give you experience 🤔 
So scarred and bruised from doing many interviews and receiving rejections I did manage to land myself a lovely retail job 😍 which had also a very lovely discount, one that I do really miss 🛍!! I had been working at this well known English brand as a Visual Merchandiser for 5 years and I knew I was comfortable, I have good relationships there but I wasn't being challenged and didn't feel I could progress from where I had landed. I have felt God speak to me about my position for a couple of years as I knew this wasn't where I was supposed to stay and He was calling me out, but out there was too much for me✋... 
The funny thing with God I have found is He obviously knows you and knows what you can handle and when the time is right you are ready for it, He prepares you in that waiting time, it's not wasted, He's telling you because that's the ultimate goal... To be out, so He continued to make it be a persistent pain in my side, my invisible rose thorn 🌹... So the last straw was my friend decided to leave our team and the overwhelming thought of why is it not me going hit, so numerous convos with friends/ family, praying on it and then the decision was made... What was I waiting for, He would provide for me what I needed, and reminded me with Isaiah 54 to stretch what skills I already had acquired, so I handed my notice in, gave myself a Christmas break as it had been years since that happened. And the new year was the start of @edgehouseuk and boy oh boy am I watching Him work out things in me. It also means I have more time to give in areas I was torn or worn out from being able to do, I can now give more time to youth work that I'm called to serve and help out at our church where I can. So here to long slow burners, where God is transforming us always, and to stepping out slowly but still going forward!! I can't wait to see what this year holds!!
