Recently my husband was taken

Recently my husband was taken by ambulance to the local hospital for what turned out to be kidney stones. I was also scheduled that day to hold my first workshop for my angel stamps. Well, I wasn’t sure if I would be able to do the workshop or not. I was off to the hospital. I grabbed my catalog just in case I had any down time to fill. (I did put my workshop supplies in the car too, just in case it turned out to be nothing and I would be able to do the workshop.) After getting a diagnosis and getting my husband comfortable, they were going to release him to pass the stone at home. I had to make a decision whether to cancel the workshop or stay at home with him and the rest of the family. My husband was in favor of me going ahead but to be honest I felt a little guilty doing that. I also was worried that perhaps he would have another bad episode of pain. So I decided to ask the nurse her opinion. I explained that I was scheduled to do my first workshop and did she think my husband would be okay or should I cancel. She said to do the workshop. He would be comfortable for quite some time and there was no sense to cancel it. After that she asked what kind of stamps I sold. I told her I sold for "The Angel Company". She asked if I had a catalog. Well, of course I had just happened to have it. So she took my catalog and looked through it. When she brought it back she said she really liked the stamps and did I have a business card. I gave her one, then she asked for two because another nurse was interested. I am telling you all this to say this. As I was leaving the ER area the Lord reminded me of covenant. Whether or not the ER nurse becomes a customer or not, the Lord taught me something through the event. I have been trying all sorts of ways (my ways) to get customers for my business. I have asked perfect strangers if they liked to rubber stamp etc. All of the people I have approached have looked at me dumb founded and said things like "What is rubber stamping". The best ones have looked at me like I was some kind of an idiot. The Lord was clearly letting me spin my wheels. I have even gotten a little discouraged thinking this was never going to work. How on earth am I going to build a customer base. But as I was leaving the ER the Lord brought the following revelation to my mind. I realized that He could build my customers. He will put me in the right place at the right time. He will bring the right people to me. He will do it ALL if I just trust Him and obey Him as He shows me things to do. I believe He allowed those strangers I approached to respond that way to me so He could show me something. Just as I can’t build my Angel business apart from Him, I can’t live the Christian life apart from Him either. So you know what. I am relieved once again. If God has led me to the Angel Company (and I believe He did) then He will build the business as He desires. Just as God saved me, He will complete the work in me that He has planned. All I have to do is wait. Isn’t that a freeing idea?? Have a wonderful rest of the week!
