Inner Blessings is a Christian Bible, book, and gift store. We are here to provide books and Bibles to help our customers grow in their faith journey.
What first inspired you to get into your line of work? And what motivates you to do the work you do still today?
My husband and myself realized that our little town needed a Christian bookstore. We were inspired to open our store after going on a 3-day Christian retreat, believing God was speaking to us as we attended these retreats on separate weekends.
How did you come to faith in Christ?
I came to faith in Christ in my mid-twenties after joining a women’s Bible study, and the women shared that I only need to have faith in Jesus as my Savior. I had grown up believing I had to be a “good person” to go to heaven.
How does your faith impact the way you do business?
My faith reminds me every day to treat others as I wish to be treated. To be fair, honest and kind. And to always have an ear ready to listen to people that are going through so much grief and hardship.
What ministry/cause do you champion and why?
We really don’t focus on just one ministry. We get a lot of requests for donations from churches, schools, and other organizations and we try to help them out when possible.
