a while back, i made the decision to go back to school to pursue a career in public relations. i start in august. guess what i found out?!?
businesses pay BIG BUCKS for stuff i've done for free in churches for years!
i've developed and led ministries, systems and teams, worked to integrate people into churches aka assimilation, assisted and coordinated summer camps, trained leaders, produced children's musicals, worked up outreach plans and radio church ads, worked with revitalization teams. i've worked in various ministries including children, youth, adult, music, hospitality, small groups, and i've assisted my husband with his responsibilities and goals. and with the exception of about a year's time, i've done it on a volunteer basis. ...and i did it with 4 kids and all that comes with being a wife and mom.
i'm not trying to toot my own horn. honest!
here i was thinking that i have zero experience and nothing to offer the world. i think i may have been wrong about that.
what got me thinking about this?
i read an article about stay-at-home parents and job experience and resumes and all that good stuff. there are others who have the same feelings and insecurities as i. we have a lot more to offer than we knew. contrary to what i thought, i have been honing those skills needed for public relations for years.
that suprised me and put a smile on my face.
i'm feeling just a wee bit smarter... and experienced!
and if anyone else is reading this...perhaps you know this feeling. perhaps you feel like you don't have much to offer. my guess is that you're more valuable than you realize.
