Mrs. Dowd's Testimony
For many years, I wondered if God had decided that I needed constant pruning! For after a very successful first company, it seemed that I was tossed from job to job - in all types of fields.
What did I do?
Yet, the question kept coming back to me: Lord, why haven’t you settled me in a good paying job that will pay my kids’ tuition at Christian schools? The cars kept breaking; the back porch on the back of our house was about ready to fall off; we had very little furniture to speak of; and our "net worth" was no doubt zero. Okay, I thought to myself, you Father God, are definitely trying to tell me something!
Finally, God spoke to my heart. What I believe the Lord was trying to tell me was that it didn’t matter what you did in life, as long as you served the One who created the foundation of the world. In a way, I was His ambassador, and so I began to think of myself as part of God’s Temporary Agency. If He needed me somewhere, I simply showed up and served.
But somewhere in the serving God process, a plan to emerge that He did indeed have a steady, real job for me - a teaching service that would serve teachers, students and their families. I began to put the word out to those teachers I felt led to approach, and all of them were enthused. They were also all Christians.
As our first and then second meeting took place, and the idea of a viable teaching service, ie, tutoring with standards, came into being, I began to see that Our Father wanted to be the CEO of the company. So that is who actually runs MDTS: God. Yep, and he is the one we honor, and the one we serve. To God be the glory!
Blessed by His Presence,
Mrs. Eileen Dowd
