I asked God to do something big.

Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the RSS feed for updates on this topic.

Frustration often brings me to my knees. I was in a such a state earlier this week, praying for guidance and wondering where to go next. I’ve had a flood of questions on my mind lately and it’s gotten to the point where I just need to trust God that He’s got things covered. Still, some days, I question whether or not my dreams are lined up with His.

I was having one of “those days” on Monday. You know, when things just don’t seem to be going right. A lot of my stress lately is related to trying to operate a business by myself. It’s a huge responsibility and quite the load to carry, especially since I’m so young and just learning.

I was browsing through countless Facebook updates on Monday when my eye caught the latest message from the Dave Ramsey page. It was an update requesting folks to email Dave with their questions for a special “Be Your Own Boss” episode. Hmmm. What the heck? It was worth a shot. I typed a quick email up and sent it out. OnÂ Tuesday, when I saw an email with “Dave Ramsey” in the subject line, I didn’t think much of it. I’m always getting auto replies in response to my questions. But I clicked it just the same, and to my utter delight, this email was in fact from the assistant show producer asking me if I’d like to talk to Dave on air during the recording on the “Be Your Own Boss” episode. (**insert ginormous smilie icon here**)

By now, I’m realizing that God does big things…bigger than I ask for. He makes me wait sometimes, but I can appreciate that His answer was fast and so obvious this time. Why do I doubt? He’s always got my back.
