 Colossians 3:23-24
Whatever you do, work at it with all your
heart, as to the Lord and not for people,
since you know that you will recei ve an
inheritance from the Lord as a reward.
Serve the Lord Christ.

I have been blessed in so many ways. Two of the

gi fts God has gi ven me are designing and
teaching, and I gi ve all the gl ory to Hi m! The
awesome thing is that I can merge these two to
create great resources, such as this packet, for
teachers, moms, and students! I want to make
sure that His light shines through me and my work.
I use my packets as an opportunity to let you
know that YOU are l oved by your Heavenly Father!
You have amazi ng talents. Use them for His gl ory.
No matter what you are goi ng through, count on
God to be your rock. He won’t leave you or
forsake you. Ask hi m to guide your path, for He is
the only one that can make it straight. Do
everything you do with all of your heart, as
working for the Lord. God will never change, and
you can count on Hi m to be there. He is FOR you
and l oves you! If you ever have any questions
about this, please email me at
busymepl usthree@gmail.com.
