Investing in gold coins

My aunt loves to collect gold coins, it only started as hobby but when she learned how to use it as investment she never stops collecting them.  From a mere hobby, now  it’s already her business. She buys gold coins and resell them at a higher price. And she’s really successful in that field. So i asked her for some tips and advice because i’m planning to follow her footsteps someday. I’m glad she willingly shares her knowledge and experiences to me.

Let God lead the way

Lead me, O Lord… make Your way straight before my face. ~Psalm 5:8~

Hannah Whitall Smith writes:   ‘God’s voice will always be in harmony with itself, regardless of how many ways He may speak. The voices may be many, the message can be but one. If God tells me in one voice to do, or leave undone anything, He cannot possibly tell me the opposite in another voice… therefore my rule for distinguishing the voice of God would be to bring it to the test of this harmony.’

To know that you’re being led by God you must:

- believe that He has a plan for your life

- spend time in prayer asking Him to reveal it

- step out and obey Him, even though He doesn’t tell you all you’d like to know

- be confident that even in difficult times He’s still directing your steps.

During the making of Ben-Hur, Charlton Heston trained long hours to drive a chariot for the movie’s big chariot race. He improved greatly, but he became convinced that the task was more than he could handle. So he approached the legendary movie director Cecil B DeMille and said, ‘I’ve worked hard at mastering this rig. I think I can drive it convincingly in the scene, but I don’t think I can win the race.’ After a moment’s silence DeMille smiled and said, ‘You just drive, I’ll direct.’ He did, and the chariot race became one of the movie’s most memorable highlights. You don’t need all the answers, you only need to know you’ve fully obeyed the instructions God gave you. Once you know that, just drive, and let Him direct you!

My role as a researcher

My sister’s friend recommended the Lipofuze diet pill to her. Her friend used this diet pill and  because she really trimmed down she’s testifying that it’s effective on her. However my sister does not easily follow on what others are telling her. She wants to be sure especially in taking medicines like diet pill. To be sure she always use the internet to search for product reviews. I know that because i always act as her researcher. lol Anyway, I don’t mind if  i do this favor for her because i also learn a lot of things in doing it.
