Bethlehem Blessing

After I escaped a situation that interfered with my job, I began to get excited about making things happen. About doing the work I am called to do by Jesus.

I had so many other responsibilities I was exhausted, burnt out, and unable to conduct the business of the business I had started.

I had to tell my accountant that I didn’t need him for business tax season because I didn’t earn any money last year.

It was embarrassing. I knew something was wrong with that picture, or rather, the state of things.

When I thought about it–the lack of doing business, that is, I felt like I had failed. Yet it was not of my own doing. I had other people taking advantage of me, using me, and dumping on me.

It took me six attempts at freeing myself of this unjust situation. but, finally, I succeeded.

Peace came over me almost immediately. First, I began writing these blogs.

My job in this world is to advance the gospel— to share Bible verses and tell my stories to help others understand what Jesus’ words mean.

I also paint Christian art and sing Christian songs. I am thrilled to do this. It’s like someone gave me a set of finger paints, some number two pencils, and took me back to grade school music class. Everything I do is like play.

The Bible verse John 15:16 speaks about all of us bearing fruit. We work, produce, and earn.

John 15:16 reads “You did not choose me, I chose you and appointed you to go and bear much fruit, the kind of fruit that endures. And so the Father will give you whatever you ask of him in my name.” The Good News Translation Bible (GNT).

Thank you for reading.

I love you,
