What Are You Chasing?

What Are You Chasing?

On this blog, T’Edra shares how observing her fiance’s career journey has helped her gain a clear perspective on her career. She is learning through watching him that it's not ao much about the money or title change in your position. It's truly about being in a place that will allow you to make the biggest impact. That impact is allowing Christ to shine through whatever you do. Her fiance’' has declined roles because those roles were not in alignment with what he was seeking and they would not have allowed him the type of freedom he desired. Chasing money and a title change can bring much frustration, but chasing the place where people can experience much more of God through you brings eternal treasures and rewards to you.

He told me that it would take at least 10 years to get into the industry that I love. In actuality, it took me one degree and 18 months to get into Human Resources.

T’Edra, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
Being the grand-daughter of the late Emmett Lee King, my grandfather taught my sister and me the importance of continuously educating yourself. There was a moment where I forgot all those lessons and lost my way. At that moment, I experienced brokenness, heartache, depression, and low self-esteem.
