Stepping Out in Faith

I've been doing a lot of prayer and pondering over the last week. I have an awesome opportunity to bless those around me, women in particular, through my Mary Kay business. I have found that the things that stretch and grow you are things that are worth doing. My business is one of those things. I'm constantly being stretched out of my comfort zone and often times I fight it. This time though, there isn't time or room to fight the urge to run from being stretched. In fact, I'm applying a principle that I've known about, but I'm really learning through a Bible study I'm leading with a of couple girls. The study is Beth Moore's "Believing God". One of the things that has been sticking to my brain is this act of believing God. This word believing is a present-active participle, which calls me to continually believe God through each and every circumstance. It's not that I don't believe Him or the Truth, but am I truly living out this concept of continually believing Him--for all my needs? I have come to the conclusion that I havn't been present-active participle believing nearly as much as I'd like to. Where am I stepping out in faith and taking that big leap that I know God has asked me to make? Well, I've made a big leap, and taken myself out of an area in which I am comfortable. I'm putting myself out there, being bold and asking people to help me with a challenge I've been given. My challenge is to have a $2,000 week!!! I have not done this before, and it excites me to step up to this challenge!!! I know I have the capability to reach this goal, but it is not something that I can do on my own or out of my own strength. It requires me to believe and trust God that as I work for His glory and do my best to bless others through my business, that He will provide the results. My job, is to joyfully do the effort. My deadline for this 2k week is this Saturday at 5pm. What I am asking is if you would please consider helping me to reach my goal and share my goal with family, friends, neighbors and co-workers. All you have to do is sign onto my website: www.marykay.com/danielledearborn and make your selections. Also, be thinking of your mother's--Mother's day is coming up and I do complementary gift wrapping! Other occasions that you might consider are birthdays, anniversaries & I love you gifts--gift wrapping is included in those as well. I so appreciate your willingness to help me with this challenge and when you do, you will receive a gift from me! Remember orders need to be in by Saturday at 5pm!!! Are you taking that step out in faith and present-active participle believing God? I sure hope so!!! Philippians 4:13 "I can do all things through Him who strengthens me."
