The "Death” of My Cookie Shop? (part II)


The Lord answered my prayers when I asked for His wisdom concerning the shop. One way this happened was through the sororities at UGA. One of my workers invited her friends on Facebook to like our shop. This small gesture led to me visiting the sororities during their chapter meetings. I’d introduce myself, tell them about my shop, and bring them cookie cakes and goodies. 


     As I was running out of contacts to help the shop, the Lord sent another person. I asked Him twice if He wanted me to do the work or if He would, and both times, He sent more people to contact. He has a sense of humor and constantly reminds me He is in control. It is incredible to see Him work.


     I set foot in the gym for the last time as a P.E. teacher in the spring of 2008. I’ve given up so much for my shop. Quitting teaching to run the cookie shop has also been like a death. It makes it harder to think about moving the shop.


     I am here with my Isaac to sacrifice. I will sacrifice the shop to help someone reading this book if necessary. I would love the Lord to bring the business needed for the shop to stay open. It will take a miracle, but I believe in a God who does miracles, and He does them well.


U What “Isaac” may you need to sacrifice? U
