Better Hands

My employer came to me before Labor Day and said that due to money they were cutting me to part-time.  They loved me and wanted me to still do marketing but were going to take over the office jobs.  I had a rush of emotions.   Shock. Anger. Frustration.   I am a good employee  - no drama, on time, great work and had brought many things to the table.   Still, as I reflected, there were signs that times were tough.   I had chosen to ignore them.  So, what to do?   Well, I had a marketing company that I had just kept on the back burner.  Was this God's way of telling me to get with it?  

So, I set on a path.  Dusted off Westbrack Marketing and am going full force.   With the adventure comes trust.  Not in me but in God's plan for me.  I laugh sometimes because I think I have it all figured out.  Then, something happens.  My knee gives out and I can't walk.   My job is cut to part-time.  An unexpected something happens.  Then, I realize that there is One who is in control and it sure as heck is not me.   You still have to work hard and pursue your dreams with all you have.  Yet, you can put the guidance in God's hands.  

I have loved Natalie Grant's music for a long time.   Here is a link to hear a sample of her song  "Let Go".   So cool.
