Someone asked her how much money she made. “Nine dollars an hour,” she said. “I’ve worked here over two years and the pay has been $9 an hour. I’ve asked for a raise. I work hard. I’m here almost all the time. A manager from the chain of stores always says, ‘We are looking into it.’ I have to find another job because I can’t take care of myself…

We have to put numbers aside and go with our hearts. If God is in it then don’t worry about the number. What do you want to do? One of the ways to know the will of God is to determine…
