Well, I recently felt the Lord telling me to start my own bussiness...I dont know why but I just have this strong desire to be out from under the wings of a "boss"...Now Don't get me wrong...I love my job at the animal Hospital, and I love working at the farm up the street... But They both are so time consuming, and I truly want to have more time at home with my family...it seems like I am never home anymore...But see, here's the catch...I have to pay for my own horse, my insurance, and my gas, and anything else that comes up my path...so just quiting would be a huge leap of faith...Plus I do not even know what I want to do in my bussiness...I wrote down all of my strengths, and yes, I know how to do a lot of things, but my sister Hannah is the crafty one in this family, and I would hate to steal that from her...aside from the crafty part, I could train horses, but I wouldnt get that much bussiness, if any at all...for one, I do not have a farm...or a place ot keep any horses...as my horse is boarded somewhere else...I could babysit, but that wouldn't work either because I would still be under the wings of a "boss"...I could teach guitar lessons...but I am not the best at it...though I know the Lord is the one who gave me that talent...and I know that I could very well do it, but would not be able to teach very much...I could....and so on and so forth...

But still no matter how many excuses I give the Lord, I still have this undying desire to establish my own bussiness...So please pray that I will rely on the Lord...and if I am to quit my current job that God would provide...because as of right now I do not have enough to keep me going till my bussiness brings in enough to be my main scource of income...

Thanks all!

When I read your blog post, I immediately thought of this verse:

Titus 2:3-5 "The aged women likewise, that they be in behaviour as becometh holiness, not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;

4That they may teach the young women to be sober, to love their husbands, to love their children,

5To be discreet, chaste, <u>keepers at home</u>, good, obedient to their own husbands, that the word of God be not blasphemed. (underlined mine)

You can still have a job at home, like you mentioned, teaching guitar, or sewing or cooking. My sisters have done such stuff.

I pray the Lords will be done. Just trying to encourage =]

On the brighter note, come check out my blog; I wrote an entry on if you think regular Philadelphia cream cheese is sweet or sour. Let me know what you think.

May the Lord bless you in finding exactly what HE wants you to do! Yes you can honor the Lord and your parents with a home business. Remember the proverbs 31 woman knew how to consider a feild and purchase it, among other things. I have some articles on my website http://www.mommasheart.com about young people and business you might like. Also, have you ever heard of Crystal Paine? She is a wonderful young homeschool grad who has very good business sense and encourages young girls. I can refer you to some of her writings if you like.

Starting a business may be hard at first, but in the long run it's really worth it. Did you think of starting an online business? Thats what we have right now.

Obeying the Lord is harder than it seems sometimes. We think we will just do whatever God asks us, but He always has a way of asking of us things that take us out of our comfort zone and make us... GROW!

Hey Heather,
That is a big decision! I'm sure it would be great though, to do something on your own like that and be able to be at home more.
If this is what God wants for you, He will reveal all the details in His time. Ask Him to give you His desires... and if you know this is what He's asking you to do, it might require a leap of faith! But He is Jehovah Jireh (God will provide)!!
I'll pray for you!
