Abby Head (Cake Decorator/Entrepreneur)
I am so excited to start this new series and introduce you to my first featured dreamer (and friend), Abby Head! A few weeks ago, we discussed her personal journey and here is what she had to share about her goals, obstacles, and inspirations…
Abby’s Dream: “To open my own upscale cafe and bakery!”
Steps She’s Taking to Achieve Her Dream: Abby currently works at a local bakery in The Gulch district of Nashville. She also teaches cooking classes to children. In January of this year, Abby started her own blog, Creative Crumbs, after a friend’s suggestion. Her website features free-lance cakes that she bakes and decorates for customers, family, and friends. Abby updates her blog every Sunday with the latest tasty and beautifully decorated pieces of artwork that she has created!

In addition to her amazing cakes, Abby also offers her own catering services.
Favorite “God Moment” Along Her Journey: A friend encouraged her to apply for a cake decorating position at a local bakery. Abby had no cake decorating experience at the time, but decided to respond to the job ad on Craig’s List anyway. The owner contacted her and asked her to come in for an impromptu interview. He told her, “If you’re willing to learn, we’re willing to teach you!” She has been at this bakery for the past three years.
Most Rewarding Experience: Abby says that her creations are “little successes” and “constant affirmation.” She finds “joy in making someone’s day more special.”

Most Challenging Obstacle: “How far to trust God to tell you where to go and when do you take the first step?”
How She Finds Inspiration: Abby likes the song “Blessings” by Laura Story. She states that it is a “realistic” view of seeking God’s will. Here are the lyrics:
We pray for blessings, we pray for peace.
Comfort for family, protection while we sleep.
We pray for healing, prosperity.
We pray for Your mighty hand to ease our suffering.
All the while, You hear each spoken need.
Your love is way too much to give us lesser things.
Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?
What if your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near?
What if trials of this night, are Your mercies in disguise?
We pray for wisdom, Your voice to hear.
We cry in anger when we cannot feel You near.
We doubt Your goodness, we doubt Your love.
As if every promise from Your word is not enough.
All, the while, You hear each desperate plea.
And long that we’d have faith to believe.
Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?
What if your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near?
What if trials of this night, are Your mercies in disguise?
When friends betray us, when darkness seems to win;
We know that pain reminds this heart, that this is not, this is not our home.
It’s not our home.
Cause what if your blessings come through raindrops?
What if your healing comes through tears?
What if a thousand sleepless nights are what it takes to know You’re near?
What if my greatest disappointments, or the aching of this life;
Is a revealing of greater thirst that a world can’t satisfy?
And what if trials of this life, the rain, the storms, the hardest nights;
Are Your mercies in disguise?
