Big Love
It was fun to put their little treats out on the table before we went to bed...I loved the idea of them waking to proof of our love for them :-)
My heart...it overflows... Read more...
You might already know Becky - she's my sweet friend and neighbor, and I'm so blessed to have her in my life. And recently? She wrote one of the most beautiful things I've ever read...go read her "New" post, and leave her a comment to tell her how wonderful she is!
Read more...I found a new blog. It's simple and beautiful and...profound...all at the same time. I encourage you to go read what Ellen has to share about her interactions with God - sure makes me think! Tell her I sent you :-)
Ellen's Little Visits With God
My new R+F business has been a constant test of my faith -- on the one hand, it seems like an obvious opportunity to jump on. On the other, it seems too good to be true. I step out each day...in faith. This is where I am. This is what I have. I know I'm His. I know I'm in His will...so this is what I'll do.
Each little (and not so little) milestone along the way makes this business more solid...more real.
My first customer.
My first partner.
Realizing that I love this "work" (doesn't feel like work at all!).
My first paycheck.
My second partner.
Customers contacting ME to thank me for the incredible product that they love!
My third partner.
My second, bigger paycheck.
This thing is working! This is not too good to be true...it's incredibly good (great!), AND it's also very real.
Nothing solidified it's reality more firmly in my head than a recent business trip. MY business trip. My BUSINESS trip. My business TRIP. No matter how I said it, it just didn't feel right. Didn't feel possible. It left me thinking, 'whose life is this?!'.
I bought some new clothes. I packed my bag. I got on the plane...and I didn't have a single packet of fruit snacks or anyone's spare set of undies in my carry-on "just in case". Will wonders never cease?
As I looked out on the Chicago horizon as we came in for a landing, the fact that I am building a business that's all my own, for MY family, really began to sink in. The plane was headed gently toward the ground, but my dreams began to really take flight in that moment.
