Please pray with me
by adustyframe ~ October 1st, 2007Today, my store turned 5 years old.
Tonight, I sent out an email to my customer list informing them that my store is for sale.
It’s official. I am praying for God to send a buyer for this store and that it will be a seamless process.
I know that running the store is not what God desires for our family.
I do not know how he plans to accomplish that or what he has in store to provide for us.
I am seeking to obey him and honor my husband’s wishes. I know it is the best thing for me physically as well.
Arriving at this decision was a lot of work. It was a long, difficult process. Now that I’ve decided it’s not difficult at all.
I’m looking forward to seeing what God will do in this situation. If his will is not for a buyer, but for me to close, then I’m praying that he will make that very evident as well.
Please include this request in your prayers if you’re led to pray for us.
Thank you!

Don’t think I’m being nosey but what are you going to do after you sell your store?
Amy, I will probably teach piano lessons, learn photography, do more Ebay, maybe care for a child or two part time. Our monthly bills are actually very small, so I don’t need a ton of money to live.
If I sell the store that will give me money to live on too!

Lizzie,
We will be praying for God’s will. Continue to “TRUST GOD IN THE DARK FOR WHAT HE HAS SHOWN YOU IN THE LIGHT”. God’s Holy Spirit leads us as individuals or when married in agreement with our spouse. Sometimes we have to take a first step of obedience in order for the next step to become clear. Don’t worry if others don’t understand, just keep obeying Him. Each step we take in obedience leads us to higher ground.
Each Step I Take
Each step I take my Saviour goes before me, And with His loving hand He leads the way,. And with each breath I whisper “I adore Thee;” Oh, what joy to walk with Him each day.
At times I feel my faith begin to waver, When up ahead I see a chasm wide. It’s then I turn and look up to my Saviour, I am strong when He is by my side.
I trust in God, no matter come what may, For life eternal is in His hand. He holds the key that opens up the way, That will lead me to the promise land.
Chorus:
Each step I take I know that He will guide me; To higher ground He ever leads me on. Until someday the last step will be taken. Each step I take just leads me closer home.
He is leading it is our job to follow.
Thank you for your prayer and encouraging words!

Sounds like a great plan! Both would bring in some decent money and still allow you to be home with James and work around his activities. Not to mention far less stress.
I’ll be praying for you.
Thank you for praying!

Kudos to you for running a shop for 5 years! A true test of a business is making it through the first year. Great Job!
Prayers for a speedy resolution.

Holy God, You are Sovereign, Good, Just. I call upon Your wisdom and justice to cover Lizzie … to wash all over and in and through her as she makes these choices … so difficult to make all alone. I pray that everything about this process will raise her up and fill her with value and respect … for herself … and from others for her. You are so good, God. Thank You for enabling Your faithfulness in Lizzie … may she see the blessings that come from Your faithfulness as she walks through this process
Thank You for how You have already worked all of this out for Lizzie’s good 
I love You, God, Ame
Thank you, Ame. I am so thankful for each prayer sent up to the throne on my behalf.
