Going For It

Under Westbrack Marketing, I decided to create what has been a seed in my brain for years.  As of yesterday, I published FaribaultShopping.com - an e-commerce retail website where customers can go and shop local businesses.  The response has been great.  FaribaultShopping.com

I wish I could say that it all came about because of my talents.  What really has happened is that I have asked God to just put me in front of the right people at the right time.  I just looked up and said, "Your will".   In the process, I have worked hard, challenged my abilities and even physically pushed myself.   When there was a doubt, God would just send someone to let me know to keep going - putting a small signal fire at the end of the tunnel so that I may keep plodding steadily toward it.

A few days ago, I ran into my good friend Jason Polzin.  Friends, I have to tell you that if God puts someone in your life that so easily shares His love and word - you better listen.  I told Jason about my adventure and he said, "Isn't it great to just leave it all in God's hands?"   and then he said he had been praying for me every day.  I was humbled.  Here is a guy with a business to run, a mom who is battling cancer, a wife and a life and he is taking time to include me in prayer?   Me?  Wow. 

I walked away thinking, "Ok, Ok, I get it God."    First, you put the seed in my head to start my own marketing company.  I did.  I got the tax info, the logo.  Then, you had my employer put my job to part-time.  Then, you gave me the idea for e-commerce.  Then, you put me in front of the chamber for partnership.  Then, when I STILL was not fully engaged, you had people come across my path and say "maybe you should do this"  "we want to work with you".    And, then, YOU iced the cake and sent Jason across my path to remind me of faith and love.

I get it.  I am on the ride.  I published.  I only pray that as I go from business to business and job to job that people can see God working through me.  Me?  Wow.  Humbled.
