This is what is getting me through
We are pressed on every side by troubles, but we are not crushed. We are perplexed, but not driven to despair. We are hunted down, but never abandoned by God. We get knocked down, but we are not destroyed. 2 Corinthians 4:8-9
It's truly amazing the work God is doing in our lives. During these uncertain times, we find enough hope to take us to the next day.
At our boutique in Brea, we experienced great success. At one point, I stepped back and to look at our booth...and there were 20 people there with others waiting to look. A friend stopped by and was amazed. Her comment, "it's great people are drawn to God during these times." Though, we had success in sales...our greatest victory was opportunity to talk to the customers.
Meeting a woman who shared what God was leading her to do in her life...asking her to some how start a ministry for the sick and dying.
Meeting a teacher who is not sure she is going to be working next year...and just need a bracelet with "HOPE" on it to get her through the day.
Or the man who starting a plumbing business after he was laid off...and realized it was God's plan he lost his job.
This is the most rewarding part of the business God had blessed us with.
We enjoyed some family time on Sunday. With our busy schedule, we don't get the chance to gather the entire family. But, today, I was with my parents, my siblings, our partners, all our kids and a 2 close family friends. There is nothing like being surrounded by the people who love you.
May God bless your week...and you find peace in knowing God does not give you anything you can not bear!
No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you can stand up under it. 1 Corinthians 10:13
Miracles and Blessings,
