Making a difference in someone’s life is my daily goal – honestly. The alarm goes off, I roll out of bed, and before my feet hit the floor, I am asking God to help me be a blessing to someone. I have found that if I put the needs of others before mine, God’s grace helps me to overcome any obstacle I may face.

As I tell my children, “God never promised us a rose garden, He promised to provide us a way out”.


The key to my success is putting my trust in God. In the earlier years, I was not as mature spiritually as I am today. I shared with others my faith, but I never emphasized how having a relationship with Christ makes the difference in the journey. I put God second and my life ambitions first. That is something I am now ashamed to admit, but I do so to let you into a more personal side of me. I’m not perfect and I do not want you to go away from reading this article thinking I put myself on a pedestal – above others. God being second led to havoc in both business and personal relationships. I lived through my day much as we surf the Internet, plugging multiple keys at one time and not getting farther than what is in front of me.

With God first in my day, I see a path that my mind’s eye was blind to all these years. I have wasted more time worrying about what others think of me, than honoring the One who made all of this possible. “God, forgive me”. I made a decision to become that light in the darkness, and help other virtual entrepreneurs who love the Lord, want Him to be first in their lives, and need reassurance that it is OKAY to let the world know the joy that comes from having that intimate relationship with Christ.

As a Christian business owner, you need to crawl out from under the rock you’ve been hiding under all of these years and speak up. Let the entire world know what you believe, share your love for Christ, take joy in the gifts God has favored you with, and put on the Armor of God.
Eph 6:10-17 (NIV)

You will need every piece of this armor. Don’t expect people to be so accepting of your willingness to bring God to the business table. For ages, Religious (Moral) Ethics have been an outcast in the workplace. People will talk negatively about you, business partners may question your boldness, and family will think you’ve lost your mind. Remember with every action you make to honor God, you come closer to receiving God’s promise.

The light at the end of the tunnel is God’s promise. You will succeed in everything you lay your hand to as you (a child of God) have favor in God’s eye. Prosperity is much more than financial rewards and if you give of yourself with the right motives, you will receive ten-fold. The Bible is full of God’s promises to the faithful. You need to make a difference in someone’s life through God’s direction. Become one of the ONE’s and decide to speak up, behave right, and enjoy life as God intended.
