Let's review! Over the past few weeks I have shared with you “Four Destiny Discoveries”:       1. Get a job (Gen. 2:15,20) In other words, Adam was being faithful right where he was.  His assignment was to tend and keep (the Hebrew word here...

  Last week I began sharing that when I think back on my early years of desiring to be in ministry, it looked like nothing would ever open up for me.  However, I knew God had called me to my local church for a long season, so I just decided to be faithful right where I was!  Finally a ministry job opened up for me there at my local church but it only paid $5/hour and I was 26 years old!  However, I gladly took it and faithfully served there at my local church for $5/hour for two years until I...
