I received a nice severance payment
from my job and we were leaving Chicago. I didn’t know exactly where we’d end
up but I knew two things: we were heading west and I was somehow going to start
a new career.
I didn’t want to be an executive
assistant for the rest of my life. After some deep soul searching I decided I
wanted to do artwork. I figured the first thing I needed was a pencil for
drawing.
We accepted the invitation from my
friend Sandy to stay with her family in a suburb of Kansas City. Kansas City
was one of those places that was bustling during the week, but the downtown was
like a ghost town on the weekends. Gray buildings lined the empty streets and
only a few vagrants walking about. But the Holy Spirit prompted us to drive around
anyway.
We couldn’t find any familiar-looking
art supply stores, when my friend spotted the sign: ‘Clark Studio.’ “Maybe you can get some pencils
in there,” she said. I went in for a pencil and came out with a job as a mold
maker for a sculpture studio.
Twenty-seven years later I’m here in
Las Vegas and I am still working in the arts field. We never know which step of
obedience to the Holy Spirit will change our lives forever.
At 211 degrees water boils. At 212
degrees it turns to steam. Steam can power a train. One degree makes a huge
difference. One degree of obedience to the Lord can do the same thing.
Love, Carolyn
