Thanks for the quotes! They are important for small businesses because of the uncertainty of it. When you start one, you don’t know if it will be successful or not. So its great to find some inspiration somewhere.

Sounds to me that the lord is showing you a potential partner. I say that because it appears you have the creativity covered and this other person likes the event planning and getting the business. Look beyond yourself and see that God will bring others into our life to achieve His purpose and teach us on relationships. I pray for you Numbers 6:24-26.

I thank God for wise individuals like yourself. I remember when I officially started my event planning business…I was so happy, gung-ho about my ideas and i just went at it by registering it, and building my website and the whole nine. Well, after getting all the paper work done and it being officially a business, I realized I had not even consulted God about moving through with it; the steps that He may have wanted me to take or even whether or not it was something He had in His will for me to do. So I dropped everything and went into prayer about the whole thing. Letting God know that if this was not something He wanted for me than I would just let it go; although I love what I do. Anyway, not long after, the Lord began to let me know that this was something that He is allowing me to do, something that He would bless me in.

With all that said, there is a young lady in my area who approached me a while back because she saw that I had my business and she visited my website and wanted to start her own event planning business. NOw initially I was hesitant, but I gave her advice, told her to seek God as I had, and go from there. I even allowed her to shadow me at an event. She approached me about some information on some centerpieces for an event she’s doing and so I told her that I would provide those services so she went with me for her client. Well, yesterday, she texted me and said she was interested in learning how to do the centerpieces and asked me if I would be willing to show her. First, I was hesitant…I still am. As far as my business goes, this is business and creating things specifically is my craft. I adore it…more so than executing/coordinating an event. I know God has given me the skills to do the things i do as far as the creative aspect goes. I want to protect that…especially when we are in the same industry. I don’t want to seem like I don’t want to help her but I have to pray about a way to help her and still protect this vision. My plan is to expand my business with my creativity and at this point, I want to protect any ideas I may have.

Is there a scripture regarding something like this as far as business goes. When it comes to your skill, gifts, abilities that God gives us and utilizing them but not sharing everything. I have to be wise in this without damaging the relationship. Any advice?

Number 7 and 8 jumped right out to me. These scriptures are an answer to prayer, it is Gods time and not mine, I am learning to accept that. It’s all in his perfect timing (I have to keep saying that to get through it right now). This blog was something I just happened to stumble upon, thank you for the inspiration that I needed at this particular moment!

Melinda, I thought these verses were pertinent and immediately applicable. The Scripture is good for whatever business you are in, and it’s principles are timeless. In the Cincinnati area, there is a group called “At Work On Purpose”, that is the largest “living out your faith at work” organization in the USA. Chuck Proudfit is the president, and a capable and exceptional leader. He encourages and lift hundreds of us up in prayer, and there is a major thrust to revolutionize revival in the Cincinnati area. http://www.atworkonpurpose.org will give more info. Great post, even thought I am substantially late to this party!

This post was written over a year ago but that just goes to show you that the word of God will forever stand. It is a definate reassurance of the wonderful things God is doing in my business. Thank you so much for taking the time to write this. It is a blessing.
My other favourite scripture is Isaiah 54:2 – 3
