For over a year now, I’ve had the blessing of starting my mornings by sharing motivational, inspirational, and faith filled posts with all of you. While I’ve been off work recovering from shoulder and bicep surgery, these posts have become an important part of my morning routine. I’ve enjoyed opening God’s Word, spending time in prayer, and sharing something that I hoped might encourage someone else along the way. During this time, I’ve also been working extremely hard on my online business. My goal was to build it enough that when my recovery was over, I wouldn’t have to return to my factory job. I can truly say I gave it everything I had. I’ve worked on my business every day, often 8 to 10 hours a day, learning, building, creating, and trying to move closer to that goal. But things haven’t happened according to my timeline. I’ll soon be returning to my factory job. Of course, that wasn’t what I had hoped for. But I’m learning that sometimes God’s plans and His timing look different from ours. 📖 “The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.” Proverbs 16:9 ESV And even though one door hasn’t opened the way I expected, I believe God is already opening another. I’ve recently become part of a new community and found a new way of learning how to build my business and grow my brand. I’m excited about this new direction, and this is where I’ll be putting my focus now and moving forward. I still believe God has a purpose for me in the make money online space. I don’t know exactly when everything will come together or what the journey will look like, but I’m going to keep working, keep learning, keep building, and most importantly, keep trusting God to direct my steps. Returning to work also means my time is going to look very different. Unfortunately, I probably won’t be able to make these morning posts every day like I have for more than a year. And that may be one of the things I’ll miss the most. My prayer is that these posts have never just been words scrolling across your screen.
