Howdy y’all!
I know it has been a while since my last post. It has been a busy month for me. I spent a week in Florida with my family, helping my little brother move out of his apartment, celebrating his graduation, and exploring the Orlando area, including two days at Universal Studios. Needless to say, I am very proud of Jason!
Since I returned to College Station, I have been busy working my business as an independent contractor, doing mystery shops and audits of stores, mostly in the Bryan/College Station area. I am also looking forward to working my business as a Mary Kay Independent Beauty Consultant. I gave my first party over the weekend, which was very exciting! I have also been making arrangements to store my furniture and belongings here in Texas, as I intend to return to Texas next August or September. I have been very blessed to find a place locally where I could store a few larger pieces in a place where they would also be a blessing, as well as a place in Houston where I can store the rest at a very reasonable cost.
On a slightly more serious note, I would like to ask for your prayers. My allergies have been acting up horribly for the past few weeks. I even had a bout of allergy-induced pink eye for a day or two, and am having some trouble sleeping. Please pray for patience with my allergies and for good rest. Also, pray for patience, because I am still waiting to hear from Latin America Missions. Although I have called them, I have yet to actually connect with a human being, which means that my Mexico fundraising is at a stand-still until further notice. Pray that I would be obedient to God’s call while I am waiting on him.
As I continue to be without a formal job, my financial status is still shaky at best. While God is providing in amazing ways, I am still considerably behind where I would like to be right now. My parents have asked that I not sell my car for two reasons – first, I will not be able to find a five year old car with only 42,000 miles (adjusted to the end of summer), with a complete history and consistent maintenance within the price range of what I would be able to get for it currently; and second because I would lose over 20 years of history by canceling my insurance. So I ask that you would pray that God would provide the money to pay off my car and pay the insurance while I am gone. I am only $1400 away from owning my car free and clear, and my insurance agent is giving me a great deal for maintaining my insurance, and my awesome insurance history, for only $30 a month while I am in Mexico. So, in total, I am in need of $1730 for my car.
In order to pay for my car and insurance, I am running a sale on my Mary Kay website – 10% off anything this week! When you place your order, put “CAR” in the notes section and I’ll give you 10% off of some amazing products! Check it out – www.marykay.com/nicoledietzel
I want to leave you with the song that has become my motto for this crazy, stressful season:
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve You while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting
I will serve you while I'm waiting
I will worship while I'm waiting on You, Lord – “While I’m Waiting” by John Waller
Love and blessings!
Nicole
