Holy Frustration

Why have a blog?
I have a passion for ideas. I sleep with a pen and journal at my finger tips for those "middle of the night" revelations. I am an observer and am constantly thinking and creating in my mind, which is a beautiful thing that God has given me and frustrating at the same time.  It has taken me decades to understand that I do not have to know everything, to do something. This has been a huge relief because God did not gift me with the “everything” but did gift me with the “something”. I have journals filled with ideas, business concepts, t shirts, coffee companies, books etc. that sit in their potential marinating waiting to go to the next step.
 I am passionate about the Kingdom of God and the marketplace. I have a desire to walk out the great commission to go into all the world using what God as given me. He has given each of us individual gifts. Imagine with me what a community of believers could do together, sharing ideas and coming together helping each other using our individual gifts and God given talents to accomplish and complete concepts to the marketplace.  A virtual think tank. I love what Proverbs 1:23says, I will pour out my thoughts to you….We are created in the image of God to create. God wants to download his thoughts into us. Proverb 8:12 I wisdom dwell with prudence and find out knowledge of witty inventions. Gods wisdom practically applied is called prudance and leads to “witty inventions”.
 A writer from thefaithlog.com says, witty inventions come from prudence; prudence is the practical application of wisdom; wisdom begins with the fear of the Lord — living in awe and honor of God. When we seek Him, He will give us wisdom for the asking (James 1:5), for His desire is for us to succeed and prosper in all things and every situation (Joshua 1:6-8; Psalm 1:1-3; 3 John 2).
It is my passion to bring ideas and concepts to fruition in the marketplace. To fund the Kingdom of God. To help send out workers,to save the,  provide for the poor, and to solve real issues,  and to do my part. I believe we can help each other in our areas of expertise working together as one body with many parts with Christ as the head over all.
 This is the “why” of Covered Concepts
 How does this work?
 Have you ever been standing in a line at the bank or getting coffee when all of a sudden you have that earth shaking idea or ut that idea that keeps circling around in our brain for a long while that we don’t know what to do with? We can now have a forum to cultivate these concepts  talk them over and gain useful tips, and direction from one another. I have had ideas sitting around for years. So I get it, I’m the idea girl. But what about the process person that loves the process. The computer wiz that loves computers. If you only knew the absolute miracle of God that enabled me to creat this simple blog… The numbers person that wants to use their talents for Jesus? Have you ever thought to yourself, “what can I do for Jesus?” I’m just a, fill in the blank. We have purpose. The bible says that one can put a thousand to flight and two ten thousand. We accomplish more together.
 So what am I talking about here?
 A blog. What can a blog do? This is a place for dialogue and creative cultivating a continual conversation. To put legs to dreams to birth out ideas from concept to market. A place for encouragement and and support to my fellow inventors, dreamers and creators. I have been called a dreamer. I don’t think it was meant as a compliment. But they are right, I am. So here I am dreaming  big!

Let's talk.
