Divine Intervention

Today I am thankful for the blessings of divine intervention. Ever since returning from a trip to Kenya, I've been wanting to do something, to do more than just give to Food for the Hungry. I'd chewed on a lot of ideas, but one stayed at the forefront: importing handmade goods from the artisans, selling them here and paying the profits back to the artisan. I felt a little overwhelmed, not having a business degree, not knowing anything about importing, etc.

Last night, while searching for Christmas gift ideas for family, I came across a store in my hometown that exists soley to sell goods from around the world and pay the artisans a living wage. Right there I found a lot of information that I needed, and links to organizations that sell these items wholesale. I knew this was God directing me to the answers to my questions. When God intervenes in a big way, it renews my spirit and my faith, and for that I am thankful.
