I have been blessed with a scholarship to attend the Affiliate Summit in New York City in August. I am excited about that possibility.

For those of you who don’t know what affiliate marketing is, it is a way to try and bring some income in for us bloggers. It essentially is an avenue where we can provide excellent shopping options for our readers while gaining a small commission for ourselves. This does not cost our readers a penny but many times I can offer discounts for them which are quite remarkable. To be quite honest it is a win-win.

So I was praying about this opportunity and thanking God for the scholarship. As I prayed I at first prayed that God would direct me to the right vendors and the right programs so I could make tons of money.

Then something happened. Today as I was praying I walked down a different path. I felt as if God may have someone in New York City that He needed me to witness to. I started praying that He would give me the words to say and that He would guide my every step while I was there. I prayed that people would notice that there was something different about me and I would be able to tell them about God.

I realigned my goals and making money didn’t even make it on the list. Showing God’s love to the lost was really the only thing that made it on my list of goals for this summit. If God wants to bless me financially through this blog then that is up to Him. It is up to me to minister to the lost and to go find those sheep that are in danger of falling off of a cliff.
