The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director. Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year.

How true. Unless someone has this call upon their life they cannot fathom the compulsion...the drive...the uneasiness during times it is not fulfilled. I like how Chambers makes the statement that it was..."so strong that nothing else was any longer even a competitor for his strength..." How well I understand that. There is nothing else that compares in my life, that I would rather expend my energy on. And no matter what difficulty comes my way, it is never a question as to whether I will continue. I think of what Mike Murdock says about the fact that nothing great in your life will be achieved until it becomes an obsession with you.
