New business, new form of discipleship?

Lately Masha and I got involved in a team of business men and women who have a heart to mentor others in business. I have always blown off these dfferent schemes and funny money making businesses. But lately Masha and I have made this our ministry to encourage and equip those who like ourselves nee financial help and spiritual guidance. What a blessing it has been. God is teaching me daily to follow Him even more close. The other day my wife says "what's wrong?" My response, "nothing." This word is a lie. There was so much I was thinking about, worried by and consuming my thoughts. I broke. Finances! School! A new Job! No benefits! It is a perfect time to be at the bottom, depressed and lonely. But did I forget that I have all of these needs met. How foolish have I been. I am blessed daily by the presence of God in my life...this is health benefits, eternal benefits. Security of not just physical money, (like a 50 dollar bill I found in my mail box at church) but the eternal riches in Christand in the brothers and sisiters who help, pray and care daily. I could write so much more as my heart is overflowing with wonder in the awesome refining our God is doing in the life of us and many more.
"God, as we seek to honor you let us not take these blessings for granted but let them be a fuel for our service to you and others. Keep us obedient to silence our hearts and find you in our every move. May your spirit move us, teach us and empower us to glorify you."
Brothers and Sisters be blessed!
