Slippers-n-Sangria

It seems like I started this whole Silpada thing purely out of selfish reasons, to become more financially independent. At least that is what sometimes creeps in. How can this silly jewelry business, when all you do is have parties and entice people to spend their hard earned money on pretty jewelry, really do anything to glorify God in my world or just beyond me. I think I am feeling some guilt, and worry that God won't bless me because this seems a frivolous venture. But even though I haven't earned a red cent yet in my little business, something is truly happening, and if I sit back long enough to look at it, I can see it. It is changing me. I pray all the time that God could please bless me through this business in many different ways. Yes, financially. I really need to feel secure, and I need some freedom. But also I pray that what ever I do in this business, God is glorified because of it. And you know what, it is happening, and it is even spilling over into my full time job. I am seeing myself differently at work. I am putting more effort into the people I work with, the children I work with, and am not just getting through my day flanked with frustration. I could still find myself fired, that could still happen, but it doesn't seem to matter as much lately. I pray that I can put myself firmly in his hands everyday, and he seems to take care of the rest. I am opening myself up to possibilities more and more everyday.

My first party for Silpada, my Open House, is this coming Thurs. I already have many different people coming, than came to my party when I was only the hostess. I am praying that people bring people who are not a part of our agency, so I can begin to branch out. I see this taking off, even if it is in steps. And there is so much I want to be able to do. I want to take care of my dogs, because they are my family, I want to be able to see friends & family more often, I want to be able to Tithe at church especially since I am a member now, and I want to make my house special for me. Not to mention that it would be nice to be able to save for my little coffee dream. Thank you, my blog friends, for your support and prayers. I know I will have a great turn out at my party, just on prayer alone!
