Thank you…..after a forced termination in the pastorate due to a power struggle, my husband and I (in our late 50's….35 yrs in full time pastoring) had to start our own cleaning business to meet our financial needs….it has been a humbling experience….but your devotion jumped off the page at me today….Please pray for the little body of believers we pastor now meeting in a storefront….we meet in a storefront…we still clean houses…..trusting God!

Each devotional is so good! I was the school nurse at a Christian school…and that is low paying and not glamorous. Blood, snot, puke, lice, helping a K-4 scrape doggie doo off their shoe…but I loved being there for the kids and their parents when they were ill or hurt. God gave me that love for the job and He went before me to prepare me specifically for what I would do.

Now I am blessed to do clean-up in the kitchen of our church for the Wednesday night suppers. Do I love cleaning? NO! Especially at home (just ask my dh!) Do I look forward to working at church? YES!! God has blessed me with such fun people to work with and it seems like we are there to visit and laugh, and the clean-up is just an afterthought! The time just whizzes by!

Every job is an important job, and God is not a respecter of persons…Bible talk for no one is "more important" than another in God's eyes. All jobs are important in the successful HUM of our world. $$ and prestige are not accurate guages of importance…and do not bring happiness on their own.

Thank you for sharing your testimony with all of us Stay-at-Home Moms. It is an inspiration to me, because I'm exactly in the same place where you were some years ago. May God bless you more.

I love all your great coupon and saving ideas…but I love you the most when you are sharing from your heart about what God is doing in and through your life. He IS able, isn't He…

I couldn't agree more with this!! I believe there is a reason things don't work out for some people who get into what others are doing. It's not God's vision for them. You see God's vision for YOU – which no one else can see. Others can try to follow along, but they'll never see the big picture/vision God has given to you. If we don't know the next step, don't look to others. GOD created the plan for YOUR life – not your friends, family, or coworkers.

I really love this post. Imagine what the world would be like if we were all using our God given talents instead of so many following the leader!

I am new to this blog. A friend in Texas just told me about it today. It never ceases to amaze me how God works in our lives. This devotional was exactly what I needed today. Thank you so much.

I love this devotional! It reinforces what I am walking right now. Keep up the great work!

I started following you on Twitter because you are in my area, then saw your preview on Channel 8. You go, girl!
