Stepping Out

It’s the top of the week and once again I am full of joy and excitement! I’m looking forward to all of the wonderful things that the Lord has prepared for us. So, I just got off of the phone with one of my close friends from college. I am so happy for her and proud of what she’s doing. On this weekend we will celebrate the grand opening of her boutique right outside of Atlanta, GA. This blessing has been such a long time in the making and the best is yet to come!

When we were in college she was a Fashion Merchandising major and always had such an incredible knack for fashion. She worked for Macy’s corporate office as a buyer for the past several years. The longer that she worked in that position, the more her yearning for owning a boutique grew. We had several conversations about her stepping out on faith and opening her own store, but fear of the unknown stood in the way. Well, while on maternity leave with her second child earlier this year, she received news that her department was being downsized and that her position would be phased out. Fortunately, there was a great severance package that would help fund her dream!

She was still a little apprehensive about starting the business, but she received so many signs of confirmation from God. In our conversation today she explained how the rest of the pieces of the puzzle came together so easily. I am so blessed to see God’s hand working in her life. This is just another example of how stepping out on faith and binding the spirit of fear can work in your favor! We should always walk by faith no matter what things look or seem like. The word tells us, “For we walk by faith, not by sight.” (2 Corinthians 5:7).
