My Routine

A new habit for me has been to listen to the audio Bible. The YouVersion App allows me to play it on my phone and listen while I drive. Recently, I ran through a bunch of the prophets. And you know they are short and you can listen to them in one sitting. I did Habakkuk and Malachi. I did three or four back to back. And then I thought lets start back at the beginning so I went back to Genesis.

Hello, I’m…

At age 25, I was so moved by the generosity of a few of my Christian friends that I wanted to know the God they worshiped. That realization eventually led me to Christ and so my faith journey is one and the same as my generosity journey.

Hello, I’m…

Susan Peterson. I live in Atlanta with my husband Todd and am a Co-Founder of karamacollection.com. Karama alleviates poverty by restoring dignity through creative, purposeful work for artisans, beginning in Africa. I grew up in a home that didn’t talk about giving really at all. Todd and I learned to give as a married couple, from Scripture and from older wiser couples the Lord placed in our lives.

Giving

God has been teaching me that generosity is not a giving away, because that would imply that I am the center or that I'm losing something. Instead, generosity is a giving towards the work of a loving King and His Kingdom.

Dangers of Wealth

Saving comes naturally to me, but I am being trained by God to make saving a lower priority. I am learning that my security is in Christ, not in my savings account. He wants me to put His resources to work now vs. putting His priorities on hold.

Treasuring Jesus

Jesus tells us in Matthew 6:21, "For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."  We can help lead our hearts to truly treasure Jesus by giving our money to what Jesus cares about. Generosity is a gateway to intimacy with God.

Dangers of Wealth

Wealth can be an idol on various levels and also a cruel and deceptive mistress. It pretends to satisfy our need for security. It woos with the status it buys. And it seduces with the temptation of luxury and an ‘easy life’.

Hello, I’m…

I never graduated from high school and I’m self-employed. I’ve been poor. I’ve been rich or whatever rich is defined as. But for me giving is one of the best feelings I could have. It’s very freeing. Giving is really after the heart of God.

3 Words

It is not three words, but these words from 2 Timothy 4:7 I would hope to be remembered by: “I have fought the good fight. I have finished the race. I have kept the faith.”

I thought about the meaninglessness of life for a man who has everything to live with, but nothing to live for.”

―Billy Graham

My weakness is my greatest strength, for then I trust alone on Jesus, when I feel my own dependence.”

―Charles Spurgeon

If we have a right view of ourselves in this world as pilgrims, as children of God going to our Father, everything falls into its true perspective.”

―Martyn Lloyd-Jones

thought

The Christian is traveling on business through a strange country…if it be rough and rainy, he cares not much, he is but a traveler.”

―William Wilberforce

thought

Work is not primarily a thing one does to live, but the thing one lives to do. It is, or should be, the full expression of the worker’s faculties...”
