    I just quit my job in the beginning of April. I believe God had been directing me to do so for many years. I spent the first few weeks traveling to various churches and will be returning home tomorrow and have no idea how my days will look. He has told me to read and study the word and get to know Him. We serve an awesome God and I believe He is using this time to teach me to trust Him amongst other things. ❤

      I'm so proud of you for taking that step! Good thing God knows the full picture, even when we don't. We just have to TRUST hi. Saying a prayer for you now. X

    God really gives us new opportunities. I am almost finished studying paralegal and law jobs have been very shaky and I am feeling as if God is leading me to study medicine, as opportunities seems easier than law as I am working as an elderly caretaker now. Sometimes we get fearful starting over because of our age as I am 37 years old but we must trust God and his plan because he is never late. I am still praying about it and thank you for sharing your content it was very helpful.

    Elise ! I want to say, Thank you for sharing your journey !
    I'm in a season in my life right now where I have to choose between my job or serve God full time ! I can relate what you felt. What you say about getting sick when you think about working full time, it's exactly the same for me. My heart gets heavy when I think about working full time again.
    I started blogging in 2016, a blog to help young ladies to see themselves through Christ, through His word and to see His heart for each one of them. And I feel a deep call from God to give more time to this.(like full time)
    God's desires are taking more and more space in my heart and I feel like pursuing that.
    It's a really big step of faith to take ! But I must say that I'm really inspired by your testimony !
    God is talking to me through you ! It's amazing !
    And the verses you quoted went right straight to my heart because God gave it to me as well ! I am amazed !
    Thank you !!!!! May God bless you !
    You are a light !

    This was such a confirmation for me. Just graduating from college and having the passion and desire to be a public speaker, more and more people told me told start a UA-cam channel. I have been so against it and although I now have a channel and am LITERALLY buying a camera tomorrow, I keep getting afraid of what others will say. I needed this video and appreciate all the tips you give.

      Hey Mo. I'm so glad to hear this was encouraging for you. Good for you. Follow those nudges, and give it a go! God has a good plan and a future for you. I'm excited for you, and I look forward to seeing your videos. All the best with UA-cam! :)

    I don’t know what to do. I need to leave this job. I want to quit so bad but don’t have another job waiting for me. I’ve been applying for a new job for almost a year. I want to leave and trust that God is going to open a new door

    LOVED this video!!! To answer your question, this year I am taking bold steps in my faith by STARTING MY OWN UA-cam CHANNEL💗💗💗 I’m just so excited about it already😂😂😂 AND IM BEING WATER BAPTIZED IN TWO DAYS!!!!!! I’m somewhat newly Christian, being that I only started regularly attending church a little over 6 months ago. (I wasn’t brought up in a Christian household.) & I couldn’t be more excited about what God is doing in my faith!!!! Strong women like you really make it easier & just bring so much comfort & confidence to me. Seeing you be bold in your faith just inspires me to be bold in mine!!! I only posted my first video a little over a week ago but the way I can feel it touching the people around me already is AMAZING. Thank you for being so inspiring💗💗💗💗

    Would love to take the bold step of quitting my job because it gives me so much anxiety, but I haven't been given permission from God to do that yet. I wish my story could be your story. I have an online business as well. Hopefully one day it will pay enough that I can quit my current job that I am so uncomfortable in. You mentioned peace, but the decision that gives me peace is the one that God says no to. So, I don't know. Thanks for sharing.

    • @EliseHodge
      @EliseHodge  6 років тому +1

      Hey Caroline. I am sorry other that. I completely understanding the feeling of feeling so uncomfortable at work and wanting to quit but it not being the right timing. I've been there for the last few years! It can be so frustrating and upsetting... I really do get it. I will be praying and believing for you that you will get to work on your online business. God knows the desires of your heart and he won't let you down. Xxx
