How to make hair wefts on your sewing machine
Don't Be Boxed In
At Joppa there was a certain disciple named Dorcas. This woman was full of good works and charitable deeds which she did. And all the widows stood by him weeping, showing the tunics and garments which Dorcas had made while she was with them.

Don't try to put God in a box by thinking that everyone has to do the same thing. Not everyone who serves God in ministry went to seminary or Bible school. Not everyone who is the president or CEO of a major corporation went to college. Some people get on-the-job training. They are simply not book people and learn much more quickly by the hands-on method. However we learn, we can be assured that God will prepare us in His own way.
Microsoft czar Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard in his junior year. Instead of going to college, Truett Cathy started a chicken restaurant with strong biblically-based business principles and Chick-fil-A is now the second largest quick service chicken restaurant chain in the country. Our youngest son did not go to college; he is the CEO of our U.S. office and does a fantastic job. God equips some people with very strong natural skills and a lot of common sense. It is amazing what we learn in life that we don't even realize we are learning until we need to put it into practice.
Lord, I don't want to copy others because I'm unsure of myself. I want to follow You and be trained and used by You in the way You have for me. Amen.
