Looking for Vision for Your Life?

It’s amazing to me that in a society as educated as ours, we don’t help our young people figure out who they want to be when they grow up.

Schools don’t always offer true career guidance.

And you know what? I think that’s probably a good thing. Here’s why.

Guidance is a spiritual thing. God created you for a particular reason. The duty of parents is to help kids discover what it is for them. The problem is, most parents don’t know what they want to be when they grow up. So our country is full of the blind leading the blind.

We need men and women of understanding to shine some light here. Being a person of understanding means you understand how something works. That’s it!

Well, if you could use a dose of vision for your life, consider joining the families in our Protégé program who are discovering new areas of home business they never knew existed!

This Monday night, I want to introduce you to four families who are about to see the power of God change their entire direction!

Join us on the phone Monday, Dec. 3 at 9 PM Eastern Time to find out what they are doing.

The number to call is 605-475-4150

The passcode is 92093#

And if you want to do your homework ahead of time, you can check out our program at http://www.RheasProteges.com

Writing for the Web Class

In January and February, 2008, I’ll be teaching a class for writers and editors on how to turn transcripts into ebooks.

We have been inundated with requests for editors and I need some help so we’re adding a new department to our already busting-at-the-seams transcription business!

The deadline to register is midnight, Sunday, December 30. But don’t wait till then. The class is filling up and I’ve already started sending the training. If you wait too long, you’ll get behind!

Keep Going!

Do you ever feel like you’re trying to do good, trying to provide well for your family and nothing seems to go right?

In fact, not only does everything not go right, it seems like everyone is against you?

Do you feel like even God is not listening?

Well, guess what?

The same thing happened to Moses. He basically told God, “Why have you dealt evil to this people? Why did you ever send me to help them?”

So many times, it seems like the good work we do doesn’t accomplish what we expect. It could be that like Moses, there is a bigger story happening and we don’t see the whole picture.

It could be that God is trying to show us His power so that after we’ve gone through the trial, we will not just know who He is but we’ll know HIM.

God responded to Moses by saying, “Watch what I’m going to do with Pharaoh. Not only is he going to let the people go, but he’s going to drive them out of the land.”

Then God told Moses to tell the people, “I will bring you out from under the burden of the Egyptians, I will set you free, and I will be a God to you.”

But they didn’t believe it because of their “impatience, anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.”

If you are in a place where you are starting to doubt that any good thing could ever happen to you, realize where you are. You may have been under too much stress for too long and feel like you are starting to unravel at the seams.

You, too, could be affected by “impatience, anguish of spirit, and cruel bondage.”

But God has put you where you are. It could be that He is about to show Himself to you in a very powerful way, just as He did the Israelites.

So don’t give up. In fact, never give up, especially on God.

Even though times are hard, they could be harder. Even though people around you seem merciless, they could be worse. Even though you may feel like you are in cruel bondage, you still have your freedom.

Ask God to give you insight about your situation from His perspective. Ask Him to show you what He is doing in your life and to make Himself real to you. Ask Him to keep you from becoming bitter about life so that you don’t lose your joy like the guys in Exodus 6 did.

Keep going. Make a list of all your blessings. And never give up hope that God loves you and put you right where you are to do something!

Go find it!

So many books, so little time...
