Blessings in the small stuff today

Day 222: "Our life of poverty is as necessary as the work itself. Only in heaven will we see how much we owe to the poor for helping us to love God better because of them."-
Mother Teresa.

This quote absolutely summed up everything I was experiencing today.

Several times today, my thoughts were on the how I was not doing enough to get more business. I was concerned that I was spending more than I had budgeted and worried that God was thinking He still can't trust me with wealth....ahhhhhh. If you read this blog you know I constantly struggle with distractions all around me. They seem to come out of the woodwork on any given day. Today was no exception as I fought hard to get focused and back on task. We women are so use to multi-tasking that it's usually not until the end of a thing that we realize we totally missed what we were aiming for.

Being in a network marketing business will expose lots of things about yourself and those whom you call friends. This business for me is about adding new business partners weekly to achieve my financial goals an assist other' in reaching theirs.

I want to move as well I need a new car but I seem to be struggling on how to actually get these two things that I want.The banks are being impossible about lending anyone money and the down payment for a new home is enormous. I have a dealer looking for me a car but he is having a hard time working within my budget. Even though I have the funds to go higher I don't want to move on what I'm willing to spend.

All in all, I just don't want to compromise so I've chosen to stand still for now. I actually don't know how to move ahead and that is simply not like me. I believe God is shifting things for me right now and I need to just stand down until He shows me my next steps.

This evening I got text messages from relatives asking to borrow money and the first one caught me totally off guard. This person has never asked me for anything and I could not believe I was on their ask for money radar. At first I started to get offended and then when I asked what they needed it was so insignificant and I felt so small. I was then reminded how much I tell the Lord how I just want to live in the overflow so I can bless others. I immediately began to thank God for being in a position to bless my relative.

No sooner had I gone to Western Union than I would receive another text from another relative asking assistance. This time I did not hesitate and I could feel the joy and relief coming through the airways because of my response.Sometimes we ask God for things and when He shows up in a different than we expected we sometimes miss it.

I thank God I did not miss the opportunity to be a blessing to others this day.
