&lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;Since starting this business, we haven't had to do hardly anything to make our presence known.  God has just sent people to us to give us work.  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;We had a couple weeks where we had no activity.  I continued to believe and the three of us never became discouraged.  Since last week, we have had more people contact us to do work for them than we thought possible.  And these are not people that we have actively pursued.  They basically found us because someone referred them to us.  That may not seem like a big deal, but I believe everything happens because God planned it to be so.  &lt;/font&gt; &lt;p&gt;&lt;font size=3&gt;The best part is that God is teaching me trust Him when things are going according to plan and when they are not.  If I have nothing else, I have right standing with almighty God and I have free access to Him.  I don't deserve either, but He gives them to me.  I look at the world and it's no wonder that people are going crazy.  They don't have the blessed hope that I have.  For them, this world and whatever it offers is all there is to be had.  Praise God that He wasn't content to leave me lost, but made a way for me to be forgiven, renewed, and spared from the penalty of my sin.&lt;/font&gt;
