God working in me

Been very busy and tired lately but very excited for the things that are happening in my life. As usual, when I go to "volunteer" or "help" God reveals something to me (usually its me that needs the help!). We had our girl scout cookie booth sales this past weekend. I stepped up at the beginning of year to be the cookie chair (mostly because I did not want to be the leader). So after much drama of finding out that we could not sell at the original location (another test of faith- had to let God handle that one)we sat for 6 hours Sat. and 4 Sunday at the Home and Garden show at the fairgrounds. On Sunday I was feeling very tired and drained. The girls actually kept me going with their enthusiasm and cheerfulness. As I was sitting there, a young lady with disabilities approached me. She proceeded to explain that she was in Girl Scouts her whole life and she was told that she could not participate after she graduated. My heart sunk. As she was speaking I thought about this girl's life and how hard it must have been for her throughout school. I hoped in my heart that she had a good experience with GS and that she had a least one friend that stuck by her. As she was speaking her hand was clutching a big amount of change, pennies, nickels, dimes and quarters. She put the money that she had on the table and said that she wanted to donate to the girls troop. My heart sunk even further. I wanted to do something, anything for this young lady who obviously had some big struggles in her life. I wanted to cry. The only thing I could do was talk to her and thank her.

God reveals so much to us if we just take the time to look. I think he sent this girl to me to make me wake up. Here she was giving everything she had. I cried last night when I thought about it. God has blessed me with SO MUCH and I am going around complaining (in my mind) about 10 lousy pounds? I am complaining (again in my mind) about how this business I am working on won't work and not focusing on HIM, the one that is limitless! Thank you God, for putting things in perspective for me. Once again, I set out to do good and God reveals something pure and good to me.

Update: we put an offer on a house that was accepted! I am now the official owner of my own business: Chickpea Cafe, LLC!
