The Abundant Life

Most people lead "lives of quiet desperation." How can this be since Jesus said he came that we might have life, and have it more abundantly? The two chief gifts of the Holy Spirit are power and love. Wow, how awesome that is!

Sadly enough, much of my employment life has been one of quiet desperation. I have been a registered nurse for 31 years. Initially, I became a nurse for idealistic reasons. I wanted to help the sick and dying in our world. As time has passed, my idealism has been tainted by many factors. Hospitals have become big corporations with profit margins being the main focus. Litigation and huge lawsuit awards have caused health care providers to spend more time, money, and energy on "risk management" than on patient care.

I prayed for an alternative and we were blessed with an answer. Our new business allows us to work from home, take time off whenever we want to, and help people become healthy and whole. In fact, I feel so much better about being able to offer people a way to achieve health, wealth, and spiritual wholeness now than I did as a nurse. I have more resources to live the abundant life in work and in missions than I ever saw possible working as a nurse. And the best part is that I haven't stopped being a nurse. I can use those gifts in missions when and where the Holy Spirit leads me. God, not my boss, is in charge of my life.

If you are looking for an alternative to what you're doing, I would love to help you explore some solutions.

To Your Abundance,
Sandra
