God Blesses When We Ask Him

God is blessing me greatly at work. I was hired for outreach/marketing/center promotion. So God gave me the wisdom I asked Him for to treat it like a brand new business. So I found and wrote letters to all the senior centers and homes with an offer to do a free heating loss and hearing aids powerpoint presentation (which I developed) and a list of our services and free hearing screenings, etc. Then I sent a second letter with more services we offer. Then I pitched a proposal to do balance testing in partnership with the hospital. Then I went to the shooting ranges and inustries with custom hearing protection. I attended every network meeting I could find. Several patients came to us from health faira after failing their screenings, including one child. Meanwhile, 11 directors book me to do hearing preaentations and 3 more want me in the fall. And this is my 4th week of working 30-hour weeks. God is blessing me as I work and do my best. Not because I am something but because He is and I asked for His help. God is so good, just one more example of His great care and answers to prayer for this little girl. Praise God!😃❤️

Sometimes I’m Samson, Sometimes I am the Blind Man

I realize I am not a man, but the fact remains that sometimes I am strong and sometimes I am weak and vulnerable. I think we are a lot more like David on his roller coaster emotions but trying to put God first, give Him glory and honor, and obey the best we can. Sure, we screw up. Jesus covers us with His holiness, His perfection, all grace. Lean into Jesus.😃❤️

Praise be to God

The day yesterday was fabulous. The day today was frazzled. But despite these things, our precious Lord never changes, never leaves us alone, never withholds grace or mercy, never gives up on us. Instead, God always loves, always remains true and good, always gives grace and mercy generously, always provides strength and gives wisdom. Praise God from whom all blessings flow! 😃❤️
