Opportunity Knocked...did you answer?

Do you answer the phone every time it rings?  Do you answer the door every time the doorbell rings or someone knocks?  Do you read every email that comes through your inbox?

My best guess is that the answer is 'No' to these 3 questions for most people.  I'd love to hear from someone who can honestly answer 'Yes' to these 3 questions.

With every missed phone call, unanswered door or unread email, there's a chance for a missed opportunity.  Yes, we live in a society where we screen everything.  This is so we can choose and decide what we do, who we talk to and when/where we do it.  That much control prevents the 'unexpected' from occurring and yes,  for the most part, that is a good thing. 

But what if you an unexpected opportunity was trying to make it's way to you and you kept pushing it away?

I pray everyday for the opportunity to do better for myself, so I can take care of myself and my children, so I can live an honest, fruitful life that is full of fun.  God was listening to me because an opportunity was delivered to me.  I knew it was right because that night, I could not sleep.  The butterflies in my stomach kept swirling and my mind raced at all the possibilities.  There was not one reason I could come up with that this opportunity did not make sense for me.  All the check marks in the positive column completely eliminated those seeds of doubt that can grow like wildfire if you let them.

My favorite part is that I get to provide the same opportunity to those that are looking for it, especially moms that want to work from home.  I'll probably send the email, I might make the phone call...I won't come knocking but will certainly present it to anyone that asks.  Check your email and take the call...ask me the questions.  Not every opportunity presented is for everyone but if you're receptive you could easily miss it.
