After way too long in keeping up with your market, I find myself in an area I did not expect. The handle I was holding on to in our business snapped in two a while back. I kept telling clients to stay active and be positive. Things beyond most of our control has forced me to change the way I do business. The bank took over control of the two subdivisions I was involved in and the builder was foreclosed on, effectively stopping business as I knew it.
Therefore, I have moved into commercial real estate as I had a couple general contractors and property owners who had been attempting to bring me on board with them to assist with management and overseeing remodeling project's. I know that our Father has His hand in the market/buusiness that I had been in and can see His closing of one door to provide the opening of a better one. I keep thinking how awesome our Father is and still find awe in the fact that He takes the time to see each one of us as we walk through life.
Isaiah 40:31 (The Message)
27-31Why would you ever complain, O Jacob,
or, whine, Israel, saying,
"God has lost track of me.
He doesn't care what happens to me"?
Don't you know anything? Haven't you been listening?
God doesn't come and go. God lasts.
He's Creator of all you can see or imagine.
He doesn't get tired out, doesn't pause to catch his breath.
And he knows everything, inside and out.
He energizes those who get tired,
gives fresh strength to dropouts.
For even young people tire and drop out,
young folk in their prime stumble and fall.
But those who wait upon God get fresh strength.
They spread their wings and soar like eagles,
They run and don't get tired,
they walk and don't lag behind.
Through this entire changing of the way I see things, our Father has been putting things in order and I am learning to expect more and better things from Him while learning to trust in Him more. This does not mean everything is peaches and cream. Finances have fallen way behind and we stand to have the opportunity to give our current home back to the bank, but can you just imagine what living totally in His care will look like? It is hard for me to imagine given I am human and He is God.
If we all would walk hand-in-hand with each other and our Father, what joy, peace, and fulfilment we willl see. Know that I am still alive and well beyond human understanding and will attempt to keep up with you all again.
Persistance!
