I still remember in 2013 when a lady contacted me through my Facebook page because she wanted to do a mini interview to feature my jewelry in her article. I was so nervous, but I did it. I was so nervous. In my mind I thought why would she be interested in my jewelry when there's tons of jewelry designers out there with more established and known business. I had just recently opened up my fan page, and didn't even have an Etsy shop yet. But that definitely gave me some confidence to keep pressing on with my dream, which is to share God's love through my creations while I have an extra income. So here I am, two years after the interview. I've made some sales with friends and family, and finally opened up my Etsy shop. Even though I find it very challenging, I spend many hours researching and asking questions to the experts to be knowledgeable in this online business world. My next adventure: craft shows.
It's amazing how God glorifies in every step of the way. Being as shy as I am, I find confidence to do the stuff I'm doing knowing that God is on my side. It's like a training to actually do God's work. If I find joy in standing in front of an audience and be judged and criticized by my works, I also should find joy in speaking the Word of God to those who need it without being afraid of being judged or mocked on. Just food for thought.
