Today was not an easy day. Missed opportunities, lost revenue, performing a necessary evil (my least favorite of this business ownership gig) and suffering the unexpected loss of a century old client and friend stood as unwelcomed reminders that the road continues on and it’s not always yellow. It is another story for another time.
Praise God for the moments of reprieve, the snippets of blue amidst the grey, the grace to forgive myself, the confidence to move forward, promised homecomings, the reminder that Christ will return soon, and for placing me in charge of the vineyard while He is away. His provision, the timing of it and the reason why, puts me on my knees as His faithfulness remains solid even when mine is anything but.
Praise Jesus alone for the metric ton of daily bread that came through the door over the last couple of days and for the constant reminder of Who is the Strong Tower in the storm.
