Every Product Represents a Changed Life! That slogan for Heavenly Treasures applies to me in so many ways and I am so thankful you have allowed me to serve God through my career gifting to help the poor! God broke my heart to serve the poor. At first I thought it meant just to help people in developing countries. As Heavenly Treasures reaches its 14^th anniversary, my eyes are being opened to a whole area of ministry of sharing my testimony. 

For the past 6 months I have been praying about what God wants me to do. I met with my spiritual director, Kathy Noling, and devoted myself to seeking God’s direction.  This is one of the ways God spoke to me through HIS word:

"If you don't go all the way with me, through thick and thin, you don't deserve me. If your first concern is to look after yourself, you'll never find yourself. But if you forget about yourself and look to me, you'll find both yourself and me. We are intimately linked in this harvest work. Anyone who accepts what you do, accepts me, the One who sent you. Anyone who accepts what I do accepts my Father, who sent me. Accepting a messenger of God is as good as being God's messenger. Accepting someone's help is as good as giving someone help. This is a large work I've called you into, but don't be overwhelmed by it. It's best to start small. Give a cool cup of water to someone who is thirsty, for instance. The smallest act of giving or receiving makes you a true apprentice. You won't lose out on a thing." (Matthew 10:38, 40 MSG)
