“What more can I do to lift up others?”

Dear Friends,

There is a quote that I like from missionary Hudson Taylor:

“When God’s work is done in God’s way,
for God’s glory, it will not lack for God’s supply.”

For when God calls us to serve, He will equip us for the task. And when the time is right, He will bring the desires of our heart to pass, getting us where we need to be.

What an honor it is for me to be able to write a ‘blog’ to you and to tell you a little about myself. It’s my first time attempting this, so bear with me. :)

For 15 years, I have been writing a weekly inspirational newspaper column. In addition, I worked in radio. I loved my career in radio and my clients, but having received so many heartwarming letters from my readers of my newspaper columns and books, I often wondered, “How else can I help people?” as I had questioned time and again. “How can I carry on my message and make a difference in their lives?”

Life can weigh us down sometimes, “What more can I do to lift up others?”

We all need positive reinforcement and encouragement every single day. We need to be reminded that we are winners, and of extraordinary worth. So believe in yourself. You deserve the best and have a divine purpose to fulfill. Don’t give up on your dreams or let situations that happened in the past bring you down. Follow the dream of your heart, for God can help you to make it come true. With God all things are possible.

Ever since I can remember, I’ve always loved collecting inspirational quotes, scriptures and Biblical stories. Reading about people who triumphed over their challenges taught me about the resilience of the human spirit, the importance of being thankful and the beauty of life. In my home, office, backyard…and all around me, I choose to be surrounded by inspiration.

My husband and I have been married for 11 years. And having three young daughters, another one of my favorite things to collect is ‘matching dresses’ for them. It also seems that we are ‘collecting’ pets. We have three cats, (could a new kitten be in our future?) a hamster, a bunny, two frogs, a turtle named, ‘Chip,’ and 26 fish.

So back to my question: “What more can I do to lift up others?”

Well, stay tuned: After many years of persistence, patience and sacrifice, there is much in store for you. Whether it’s my inspirational products featured on QVC Television and QVC.com, with each creation designed to encourage you, to comfort you and to fill your heart, your home and your life with hope and inspiration or the release of my upcoming book, God Will Do The Rest my goal is to lift your spirit and help you live a joy-filled life!

May the Lord bless and keep you.
Blessings,
Catherine
