I feel like I begin each day the same way. But I cannot help recite the words yet again how amazing God has been in my life. Yesterday was a breakthrough day for us. So many doors are opening and so many opportunites are coming our way. I remember walking around with a notebook in my hand when this whole journey began on July 5th and I remember the Lord kept saying , entrepreneur. I took the meaning to be that I would be involved in many things not that I would become rich. A lot of people comment to us that we have nice ideas but they won't get us rich. Whoever said we wanted to be rich? I believe the only reason my husband and I would ever want to be super successful is to give more to people that need it most. Much given, much required. The bible also cites that we are to tithe 10% of every penny of income that comes through our household to the storehouse. We really needed the yard sale money for our car yet I knew tithing and the Lord had to come first. Let me give you a quick testimony to this very principle belief. I was home sick Sunday from church and had already made arrangements not to serve in the early morning children's class because of my cold. A friend had spent the night so impulsively I told my husband I was going to open the sale up again and see what happens. With no advertising and in less than 2 hours of simply opening up our garage doors and sitting in my driveway with a friend we made back the money we had just set aside for our weekly tithes! So for our household whether it is an ebay sale of $12 or $300, we tithe 10%. It is our act of faith in God. And God wants it to be yours too. Don't ever think to your self that you cannot afford to tithe, you should be saying you cannot afford NOT to. I know how scary it is to do when you barely have enough to pay your bills or hardly any food money. But when you entrust your tithes to God, he will multiply it in so many ways. So trust Him in today and experience the wonderous works of the Lord. Be blessed.
Malachi 3: 8-12
