I've done Creative Memories, Tupperware, and Tastefully Simple. The other night I was doing a TS party to jump start my year. I had gotten really excited and made year long plans. When I was up doing the party, all I could think about was how much I hated it and didn't want to be there. I am sure it was God talking to me. I knew I never liked it anyway, but that just confirmed it. I did well at the party and got 2 bookings (the magic number). Well on Sunday, things just got rolling and God kept speaking to me. I have been struggling for years to do a home business, be at home with my kids, and make lots and lots of money. I finally realized that none of that is what God wanted me to do. I was called when I was in 3rd grade to become a teacher (it's all I ever wanted to do) that is until I started doing it and then had my children. I've been fighting it ever since. God finally slapped me up side the head and made me realize that not everyone can be a teacher and that what I was doing was special and important. He also made me realize that it's not all about the almighty dollar. I need only what I need and everything else should be given where needed. I finally asked God to help me out. I was now available, please use me. Now comes the neat parts and how all things do come together if we are just available. The Youth Sunday School lesson I taught on Sunday was about how the wise man built his house on rock, and how we all need a solid foundation. Our preacher then preached about How Joseph trusted God and did what he said, and asked us if we were doing what God wanted us to do. Well no, I wasn't. Anyway, things just happened from there: I work with the youth at my church and have 2 kids of my own. We had made some Pet Rocks a couple of years ago at the school where I teach and I haven't thought about them again. That day I got this crazy idea and it's been flowing ever since. I have come up with a really cute way to encourage kids to read their Bible daily. I'm not looking to get rich here but do need to cover my own costs. I would like to ask for your sopport and prayers that my little idea would do some good and be a way to get kids excited about reading their Bibles. I have begun to feel some peace finally after a very long time.
