Be Prepared/Opportunities (Pt. 2)

"Prepare thy work without, and make it fit for thyself in the field; and afterwards build thine house." Proverbs 24:27 KJV

Prepare Yourself First:

After having a good attitude, the next thing to do... is preparing ourselves. 

As Christians, we are preparing ourselves for Heaven. (Matt. 25:21, 2 Tim. 2:15)
As single women, we prepare ourselves to be wives and mothers. (Titus 2:4-5)
As moms, we prepare our kids to be independent, capable strong adults. (Deut. 6:7)

I look back with a grateful heart for all the lessons my mom gave me on house cleaning, cooking excellent meals, raising godly children and praying for us. I needed those... they are (now) important and vital to the success of motherhood.

Do you have a dream.... a goal that you want to accomplish? How are you preparing yourself for it? (Excellent Example: 1 Chr. 22)

Read everything you can about it. Talk to godly mature mentors (your Pastor, an older married couple, the CEO of your business/career interests). Study those who have succeeded. LEARN from them. Apply what you have learned. Do those things.

Opportunities:

I laugh every time I think of Christian colleges... It amuses me that many women go there for a "MRS" degree. Why do I laugh? Because I married an amazing Christian godly man..... who has never been to a Christian college (neither have I). I found him at my church where he was faithfully serving God... as was I. :)

We don't need to go looking for "love", "fame", "riches".... for "greener pastures". We just need to stay faithful in that which God has told us to do.

Are you faithful to your Bible reading? Are you faithful to your church? Are you serving God? Wait on the Lord, my friend, and He will give you the "desires of thy heart". (Psalm 37:4)

I worked in a medical supply company that provided special garments. I never dream there I would find out what my true passions are! I discovered that I am a graphic designer, a videographer, a photographer, even a social media manager... an artist of all sorts. In my eyes, I was just being a faithful worker trying to do my job to the best of my abilities...

Be the best worker at your current job (give it your all!) and look for opportunities of growth/development within your company/business! You could end up doing your dream job!! :)
