Bravery: Jamberry

Hey my purple girlfriends!!
I just want to chime in and share a little story of bravery. 
 I was living at my in-law's for what was supposed to be two weeks and the opportunity to join Jamberry came my way. I thought it would be crazy of me to join right then with the big move and house closing but I was being challenged to be bold, to be brave, to embrace me a little bit more so I jumped in the fun.
I thought I would get trained in during those two weeks and launch once we were 
moved into our house.
That was over two months ago now and we're still waiting in limbo.
I want to be transparent about this season of struggle because I KNOW some of you ladies have gone through similar struggles of waiting but I also KNOW God really does have a plan through it that we can't see. He keeps asking me "Heidi, are you willing to TRUST 
me still and PRAISE me still?"
Jamberry may be silly to you but to me, it's been the thing that's made me brave. I am pushing myself and challenging myself a little more everyday. It took a lot of bravery for someone like me to even join something like this. Over these two months, I've been slowly realizing I NEVER want to settle for less than my best or God's best for me, I never want to become complacent.
I want to face FEAR straight in the face.
So what does that mean for me next? We have 3 directions we could go and I know one of them is not just scary, it's terrifying, but if I am going to be a brave woman and be a woman who isn't all talk then I guess that means I have to take the terrifying path ahead.

I can't share what that terrifying path is quite yet but I can tell you we are seeking God and his direction for our lives, and when we know what it is, it's going to be good because it's going to be God's best for us. We haven't had all these closed doors this year for nothing.

I may not know what tomorrow holds but at least I have pretty nails!! :)
What is the thing in your life you have to face bravely?
