Self Employed Update 1

As promised here an update on me becoming self employed. It actually is a longer story but here in short:

While working on construction I spent 12 – 14 hours a day out there and although I love construction work God had another plan. The idea to become self employed was put on my heart over a year ago but for the odds that one faces here in Germany when becoming self employed I was not pursuing it.

Well, God, of course had His ways and gave me te time to figure it all out and get a traders permit while being home sick with my bruised leg. So I quit that job as construction-worker to take care of my own business. Still, as anyone knows who got self employed, you don’t start making money immediately and so I needed a job that gives me time for my business and supports my livelihood.

Here is where my former and now again boss came in. As I had mentioned in other articles before, he is a newborn Christian and owns six companies including the employment agency. This man hired me as house technician for the buildings of his companies on a 25 hours per week contract. 

I already believed God would bless me becoming self employed but as we know Him, He always has more for us than we can imagine! My boss not only gives me the time to take care of my business, he also is helping me with great advices and takes time to sit with me to explain stuff like book keeping to me. Remember he owns six companies! And if that would not be enough blessings, one of my boss’s companies is doing book keeping and taxes for small (like mine) and medium sized businesses.

I am very thankful to God for He is blessing what I do in far more ways then I wrote about here today. Just one more example; God has made it possible for me to work together with the leading wholesale company for toys here in Europe which has its HQ just a half hour ride from my home.

As I believe this is God’s will and for the reason that it is my hearts desire to use what I do to benefit to God’s kingdom I trust that  His will in this will prevail. Although I do not know where or to what this will lead, all my trust and faith in in my Lord Jesus!

Honour the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops;  then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine.  (Proverbs 3:9-10)

wish you all a great week
