Now, we'll most certainly STARVE!
As a single mom of 3 on social assistance most of my adult life, I had taken a step of faith, and began to pray 2 Corinthians 9:8 over my life~
That God is able to make all grace (every favor and earthly blessing)
come to ME in abundance, so that I may always and under all
circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient [possessing enough to require no aid or support and
furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation].
OH that I would be self sufficinent! To be free from the burden of the "system" and provide for my chillies.
But RETAIL GOD?!?!?
What do you do when the God of the entire universe, takes you completely out of your comfort zone and places you, smack dabbers right where you SWORE you would never go again!
Commission sales.... I think PRESSURE!
I thing AGGRESSIVE! I think "sell-up or get-out"
And now quiet little, meek, peace making me, was dependent on BOLDNESS, STRATEGY and MANIPULATION to put food on the table.
Is there a balance? In the world cut throat world of retail, commission sales, is there a place for the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Can I still be like Him? Can I trust Him to be my source?
