No More Excuses!

I'm so tired of myself! It's always...."When my house sells ....I can give more!" "When I have more time....I can serve more!" I'M DONE! I have spent many hours sitting around on the computer, watching TV....etc. I'm pretty sure that God is calling me to do WAY more than that!
Not that there is anything wrong with a little of both. Especially because that is how God spoke to me about what I'm about to do. Isn't it amazing how He knows how to get to each of us?..heehee. Here's the raw truth on how my new adventure has come about. I sell Scentsy and my dear friend Jodi was the first in the area to start selling. She put her heart and soul into her business with the firm belief that if she was supposed to succeed with her business that God would bless her. AND HE DID! Her business WAY exceeded any expectations she ever had. She does wonderful things with her blessings! (Thank you for helping us bring Mario home!) I of course didn't pray much about it...just dabbled around with it and am still having fun. But since I didn't do as she did....I was jealous! "Why can't I do that!" Poor me! I have to be totally honest...until yesterday I was still feeling that way! Money was my driving force! UGH...that makes me sad! I was looking at my computer trying to find other new businesses that I could be one of the early sellers so I could really make a success of it! Well.....I found it! But "success" has taken on a completely new meaning in the last 24 hours. I know I'm rambling....but hang in there....this is good! Yesterday....In the middle of having a huge garage sale to get rid of all the STUFF that is cluttering my life....I got on my sister's blog and read a message that my 15 year old niece had written....BAM....talk about knocking some sense into me! Please take 5 minutes to read her post here...
BUILDING THE BLOCKS...: Kids helping kids in Ethiopia#links#links . Seriously....can you read that and not be changed? Can I just remind you again that she's 15 years old!!!!! Thank you Amy for raising your children to change the world! Now back to my story(haha)....I found this awesome Faith-based company that was started by two Christian women like me that just wanted to serve Him more. They began a jewelry company that is affordable sterling silver jewelry that is gorgeous and allows His message to be spread in homes all across America in a whisper sprinkled on their website and in the catalogs. They also donate $2.00 of EVERY charm sold to Steven Curtis Chapman's organization...Show Hope... to help families bring home orphan's home!! Love him!!! The name of my new adventure is called Inspiranza Designs. My idea of success for me after reading my dear nieces post has changed! I'm starting this business now and 50% of my profits will go to Lifesong for Orphans. 3 ways you can help....1. Pray for a blessed business 2. Join my team. 3. Buy jewelry! This company only has 1000 consultants in the United States....(remember Jodi...she has 1000 under her in Illinois alone) Join now and you can grow a huge business. Join me and you can change a life of a child forever! By the Way....for those of you who aren't convinced that God sends clear messages....I googled my blog and what first came up under it and I don't remember where or when I quoted this bible verse was 1 John 3-17 If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him? Thanks for that reminder God! (Thank you Nessa for our new friendship!) I love you Brian for all your support and patience in my life!
