Be Still.....

For weeks and months Linda and I were caught in a whirlwind talking to people who deal in business and investments, feeling like we were the ball in an intense game of ping pong. Everyone has advice and suggestions, throwing us pointed questions about "customer acquisition cost" and the size of the "evangelical" community. We started out being so excited about our plan and the new exciting world of high-dollar-business we have entered into. After delving into this new space and expending much hard earned cash towards travel, marketing consulting and website development, it all of the sudden took on the face of disappointment and right-out panic over "what have we done!" So I have to stop here and ask, "why is it that the negative has the loudest voice?" We can have 10 good things happen in a day, but for some reason, it is the one negative that stands out in our minds. So it was in the midst of this confusion and madness that we just had to throw our hands up in the air and declare, "STOP!"...not literally, of course. After taking a couple of days break, it was pretty awesome that Linda and I both heard from God in the same way...."Be still and know I am God." The peace sets in and our thoughts can clear to see everything in a different perspective. I do have to say though that we are so grateful to those who have given up their valuable time to talk and share ideas with us. The lessons we have learned from those who have bravely gone before us in this crazy game called "entrepreneurship" have been invaluable. But now, we have caught our breath and have been sorting through the flood of information and have developed a fresh vision of "starting out walking before we run" which is manageable and feels right. But above all, our thoughts have turned to our clients who are the reason for this insanity and have believed and trusted in us which has given us the courage and strength to continue on this journey. Happy Easter! Be blessed.
