Trust in the Lord with all your heart;
Do not depend on your own understanding.
Seek his will in all you do,
and he will show you which path to take.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Here's my view from my New Room in my New Life... can you see the reminder I am given daily that God is right here with me???
My computer is small and my cell phone takes tiny pics, however, on the left, just above the house in view you can see a steeple for a church...popping over the house is a cross on a round base... it's absolutely beautiful and in "real" life is quite prominent.
When I first arrived amid all the excitement I did wonder...are we on the same page God...is this where you want me??? And then yesterday as I took time to look out my window there it was...the cross...the answer of
"YES YOU ARE!!!"

| mi casa is in red on the right ...my room in back of house overlooking the backyard. |
Well tonight was no different.
I am truly exhausted...legs sore from biking around lower Manhattan yesterday...
champagne helps!!!
But lets get back to the "real juice"!!!
THIS IS SO JUICY YOUR'E GONNA LOVE IT!!!!
So...tired me was just about to turn off computer and I see the link to craigslist...I decide to "peek" in and see what jobs are around in the design/media/art field and there...posted just today:
Part-time millinery production/sales (East Village)
Well... I know exactly who's shop that is because just a few months ago, in fact the night before I bought my ticket I saw this exact job!!!! I sent an email to her saying...I'll be there in May...I figured it couldn't hurt.
AND She wrote me back and so I was planning on going to say "hello" next week and then I saw today's post.
Obviously I went to my email to write her and say "It's Me...remember me???" BUT SHE BEAT ME TO IT and there in my mailbox was:
Dear Katherine,
You might recall that you answered an ad I placed on Craigslist for an assistant back in February. As it turns out, we've been really busy, and I'm looking again for some extra help. I came across your email, where you mentioned that you were planning to come to New York in May.
Are you still interested in talking? Please get in touch,
Thanks,
Barbara Feinman
HOW ABSOLUTELY AMAZING IS THAT!!!!!!?!!!!

SO... I just may be hopping into the city in the morning...I did email her back ... God had definitely lined this one up and it doesn't matter if I get "the job" or not... God is simply showing me YET AGAIN..."You are EXACTLY where you need to be because I personally placed you there!"
To this I say...."Thank YOU GOD!!!!"
"Thank YOU! Thank YOU!Thank YOU! THANK YOU GOD!!!!"
So gratefull YOU ARE AT THE WHEEL!!!!
I would totally appreciate YOUR prayers as I step into even more unknown territory. God may have lined this up but I think mass prayer will make Him smile and just one of those gleems from His Teeth just may illuminate My Destiny.
Thank You!!!
I will certainly keep you all posted.




This just in as I posted this posting!
ReplyDeleteHi Katherine,
I'll give you a call tomorrow or Sunday. Welcome to New York!
Barbara
Praise God!!!!
Our prayers are being lifted up for your success. Isn't it wonderful to know that God is in control! Mom & Dad
ReplyDeleteIt is so refreshing the confidence God gives me to take chances no matter what... if one door does not open it saves me the heartache of going down a path to nowhere. I am grateful of the pace and that she will simply call me and I can slow down (for likely just a moment) and the wonderful thing is...I AM meeting my community of hatmakers in NY!!! So blessed, so refreshed!! And... literally God only knows what He has in store for me... I'll just stay open. What a wonderful day/eve/life!
ReplyDeletetruly and VERY cool, katherine. WOW!!! all lined up. you did the prep work and it is paying off. how exciting!!! looking forward to hearing of the next chapter. is barbara the woman's name? or...other. . .
ReplyDeletegoin' dancin' tonight because i said i would. beautiful catherine lefoyer won't let me forget that i said i would come months ago. i know it will be great. i need to dance. jack will be there taking pics. denni with her daughter. may be goin' to the big island around birthday time. wondering how i'm gonna pay rent. no worries GOD is on the task, i'm sure.
LIFE is a trip.

love love love love!!!

So... Today, Saturday May 14th I spent the afternoon in the East Village as an appt was made to meet Barbara and one of her team, Kim.
ReplyDeleteWe were all a match! CUTE little corner store filled with all sorts of fabulous hats that they make. They need help 2-3 days a week which would be idal for me as I continue to persue my business.
I liked them, they liked me...so come Monday I will go in and learn how to block a straw hat (SOMETHING I CAME TO NY TO LEARN HOW TO DO!!!)
GOD IS SO GOOD!!!
It's sort of my 'trial run" so let's pray I catch on quickly!!! This is UNFAMILIAR hat territory for this 20 year veteran...but they know that and so we are on the same page.
I have no fear here for God has set this up and He will follow it through for however long I am to be there.
I am there to be a blessing and to be blessed.
And Barbara... she thinks so too!!!!
That's the update and now to continue my dinner of roasted lightly salted almonds, red wine and let my feet be unbound from all the bandaids that they were wrapped in (getting used to wearing shoes whilst walking endless miles)...
I feel like an athlete...so grateful for tomorrow's day of rest!
I am grateful for your prayers!!!! Very!!!
Here's the website of where I will be come Monday:
