What do you have that is unique to you? What are your talents and giftings? What are your passions?

No matter what home based business you have, as long as you are using your gifts and talents to bless others while
you are working, that’s a Christian home based business. God created all of us unique and for specific
purposes. When you bring that uniqueness into your business, others will be blessed.If you feel like God is calling
you to a home based business, then search your heart for direction. Even in our businesses, we can be His hands and feet.

Church is not usually where we use our giftings. It's outside of the church walls. I believe God is building up
an army of Christian business owners to take God into the marketplace. We are the church, even in the marketplace.
God has used business as a tool for years to bring souls into the Kingdom. If you have a desire to start a home
based business, don't ignore it, you never know what God is going to do with it.

Discovering what God has put in you is a journey and an adventure! The adventure will lead you down a road of self discovery
and growth. Our passions and skills will change the more we learn about ourselves, learn what God has put in us. The more
we learn about ourselves and the more we grow, the more we will be a blessing to others. God not only has a plan
for you, but for the people He puts in your life, in your circle of influence. We are co-laborers with Christ.

When someone enquired about visiting Mother Teresa to help with her work among the poor of India, she encouraged
the person to find their own Calcutta. In other words, each of us must discover who it is that God has put our
heart to love and reach out to. This makes it personal and meaningful. As we listen to God's voice, we'll begin to
sense that we have a particular group, or several groups of people that are on our hearts.

Think about these things when determining which Christian home based business to start. God wants to change the world
through us. Instead of looking or having a business that is seperated from who you are, create a business that can be
an extention of who God made you.

Do you find yourself wondering which Christian home based business to start? There are several ways
to find the one that is a right fit for you. The most obvious place to start would be with prayer
to see where God is leading us. But what are some practical ways to get started? Here are 5 ways
that can help make this process easier.

1.Make a list of all your favorite interests and skills. For
instance: do you like decorating, are you good with your hands, do
you like to read, are you good at managing money, etc? If you
have a hard time coming up with things, ask your friends and
family. They usually know us better than we know ourselves.

2.Think about the things you wanted to do as a child. Write all of
those down, even if you think you can’t make money with it.

3.What magazines and books do you always buy? This is a good
way to figure out your interests.

4.How much time do you realistically have to put into a business?
If you have small kids at home, you’re not going to have as much
time as someone who has no kids. Be realistic with this. You don’t
want to burn yourself or your family out.

5.Something to visualize: If you had all the money in the world,
what would you want to do? Of course we would probably want to
go to the spa, beach, mountains, skiing, etc. But what is your
passion? We all have giftings and talents in us and if we don’t use
those giftings, we will never fully be satisfied. Use your giftings to
serve and bless others as well as make a living with them

I hope these tips give you a starting point to determine which Christian home based business to start.
Remember, don’t be afraid to dream! Even if something sounds too ridiculous to put down, put it down
anyway. You would be surprised at how some people are making a living.
