I've decided!
COME WHAT MAY!
I'll perservere till the end as financial planner.
I know that only here, I can achieve what I want in my life.
-Financial breakthroughs in my family situation.
-Being able to help and serve people. (really be of help, rather than just giving words or phyiscal affirmation).
-My own financial freedom.
-Fulfilling my God-given calling and vision: missions for children in poverty all around the world (ECH pasion)
I know to give up is easy, and I don't want to even make it an option.
I know I'll make it because Jesus said so.
STAY FOCUSED!
AND BE TEACHABLE TO BECOME BETTER EACH DAY:)
It really takes sacrifice.
Lord, I thank you for the wonderful calling you have given to me. It represents your grace and love for the people I can impact and love on your behalf. I pray you'll use me, daily as I come with helplessness and weaknesses. I know, through you I can do anything and anything is possible because you are the beginning and the end. You use the weak to shame the strong. Thank you for your promises for each part of the career. I pray that daily I will lean upon you, for strength, courage, love and even more and over flowing of anointing and wisdom in how I make decisions in my life and in my relationships with people around me. I pray that I can be a strong witness for you and let your name be high exhalted and glorified. Amen.

God said, Let Us [Father, Son, and Holy Spirit] make mankind in Our image, after Our likeness -Gen 1:36

Fact findingIn the morning sow your seed, and in the evening withhold not your hands, for you know not which shall prosper, whether this or that, or whether both alike will be good. -Ecc 11:6

PaperworkAnd He said, The kingdom of God is like a man who scatters seed upon the ground,And then continues sleeping and rising night and day while the seed sprouts and grows and [b]increases--he knows not how. The earth produces [acting] by itself--first the blade, then the ear, then the full grain in the ear. But when the grain is ripe and permits, immediately he [c]sends forth [the reapers] and puts in the sickle, because the harvest stands ready. And He said, With what can we compare the kingdom of God, or what parable shall we use to illustrate and explain it? It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when sown upon the ground, is the smallest of all seeds upon the earth; Yet after it is sown, it grows up and becomes the greatest of all garden herbs and puts out large branches, so that the birds of the air are able to make nests and dwell in its shade. -Mrk 26:32

For whom the LORD loves He corrects, Just as a father the son in whom he delights. -Pro 3:12
