God's Ladies in the Workplace
Susan McCarter is a wonderful friend and business associate, as well as one of "God's Ladies", one He used to open a door to my heart and mind He continues to use to transform my life and the life of others.
Susan had been mentored in business by a wonderful lady and as we sat in our hotel room enjoying the views of the ocean she shared something spectacular with me. The funny thing is, as with so many of us, we speak blessings into the lives of others, without even knowing it. (Speak what the Lord teaches you through His Word and others, God will use you)
We were talking about our dreams, goals and aspirations, what we were doing and how the things we were learning would get us closer to the places God had chosen for us; and how He would draw people to us for His purpose. (It's amazing the blessings people allow their minds to keep them from, until they truly UNLEASH the Power of CHRIST within)
Then came the blessing, we were discussing a book we were reading business wide, when she began to talk about the author. (Personally, I had not stopped to read the forward muse less the information about the author of any book before) So I paused to listen. She said her mentor had biographies and or autobiographies on many books she suggested to others. (That may seem extreme, but how great would it be if we stopped and learned about the people we are suggesting to others, before we promote them)
What a wonderful concept, what a fabulous challenge God gave me through my friend Susan, it changed my life and the life of our readers; because we search not just speak!!!!
I give you my friend and sister in Christ Susan McCarter. I love you Susan and thank God for you, your words of wisdom have forever changed my life!!! Thank you for sharing your life and family.

Susan McCarter Testimony
To begin, 24 years ago after a divorce from a 20-year marriage, I was seeking. I didn't know I was, being from a Jewish family, it never occurred to me that God wanted something different for my life. I can't say I knew Him intimately, except for the occasional prayers, asking for help in terrible situations, and thanking Him for coming through with my requests.
But, one day I met a man who offered me an opportunity to become more than what I was through a business called Amway. I knew nothing about the company and certainly nothing about the life altering change I was about to encounter. But on a Sunday morning after a long weekend of learning to dream again, a gentleman by the name of Bill Britt offered up an explanation and requested those who fit the bill to come forward and accept Yeshua (being Jewish I had to justify Jesus' name, LOL)
My life was not to be the same ever again. I knew this was where God wanted me, to help others understand how their life could change by KNOWING who you are in HIM! Well little did I know how the Lord would work in my life daily to meet people, share a "business" and on Sunday mornings have them hear the same message I did and their lives could be changed and for years this went on, being an example to others and having them be open to God.
God continued to work after I was saved to put the most wonderful man in my life. One who totally shared my vision of helping others, whose children adored him so much I knew he had to be an amazing man, one who loved my children as his own, and has continued to be an example, even having been diagnosed with Parkinson's of what God is doing in our lives.
Eventually through my real estate business, I would touch so many more lives. Church gave me an opportunity to meet people who knew people who were in trouble. Upside down in their homes, I became the expert on how to help them avoid foreclosure by learning the words "short sale". For the past almost 8 years word of mouth has spread to keep my real estate business moving forward, even when so many have had to quit and find "jobs".
It is, not only "other people" who face all types of distressed situations; it is your Church families, your work place associates, your uncle, parents or even yourself. Good people who are, through no fault of their own; facing a loss of their home. The Lord has continued to put them in my path month after month; again for me to be a light to them, as He was to me. They always know He is the center of my life and what I can do is through His help. You find out really quickly who is saved and who is not and can quickly move forward to eventually let God work and have them realize there is a God. He did help keep them from their foreclosure, they are ready!
My husband and I are continually working on our walk with the Lord. Ever praying to be an example for our families. Only one has been saved at this point on my Jewish side of the family, and on Donnie's side, four have been saved but not yet baptized, we are praying God will lead them to a good church home. We pray every day for all our family members to be saved when their time to make the decision comes. Pray for them all please!
Blessed and Highly Favored
