I can still remember the feeling of excitement and anticipation as I would sit below the stage to watch the models walk out on the runway. Or "self-timer camera" moments of taking my model shots steaming from a childhood dream of becoming a model. Why? I don't really know. I just had a desire. This desire carried over into adulthood but I never really pursued it. After going embarking on the journey into ministry, I really knew I would not pursue it because I just did not see the correlation. I knew God could bring you the desires of your heart but I didn't have the time to make it happen.
Fast forward to December 13, 2009, I now was one of those models strutting her stuff on the runway. I had an opportunity to walk on the runway with a company I am working with; Sebastian Fashion Model Management. It was not necessarily something I had to force to happen but rather the door opened to me when I relocated to Dallas. (In which I promise to share how it all happened at a later time)
As I look back over how this was/is a desire to me that I am not actively pursuing, I am reminded of the scripture "delight in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart". I am reminded that God is the one who puts desires in your heart and as you obey Him, He'll bring them to you. You don't have to force things to happen but rather walk through the doors He open. What I use to say I will....model.........I now can say I did. So let this serve as a encouragement to you, as it does to me, that if it's in your heart then one day......I Will.......
