A few years ago I felt the Lord tell me I was going to have my own business one day. My first thought was that it would have something to do with the counseling degree I was pursuing at the time, although I was not sure how that would look or work out. I recently completed my BS in Psychology and will be going for my MA in Pastoral Counseling in January. So I am still on track to accomplishing my goals.
However, the other day a friend invited me to a meeting introducing a new business she was starting. I was intrigued and felt that I might do some research on her business. Another friend who went with me to the meeting was also intrigued and decided to do some research on her own. The owner of the business turned out to be someone I have known for years and trust. He was at the meeting and after hearing his story, I was even more intrigued. I ask the Lord to show me if this was for me and I went home and went back to "life as usual". Over the next week I continued to get confirmations that I was suppose to be involved in this business. So after a week I gave in and told the Lord if He would provide the start up money, I would start the business. This seemed impossible because for the second time in 7 years, my main source of income, the child support I receive from my ex-husband was two weeks late and every bill was already late. You see for many years now I have lived on very little income and watched the Lord provide everything we need and we have lacked for nothing. So even though this time it looked impossible I knew it was just another way for God to show up and prove to us that nothing is impossible if it is His will. I learned a long time ago if I keep myself positioned to follow where ever God is leading He will provide what I need to get there. Anyway, over the next few days, not only did I get my child support and was able to pay my bills, but I also got the money to start the business and someone anonymously gave me another $500.
Needless to say, I started the business and I know because God was so instrumental in making it happen that it will be a huge success.
God is so good!
