Navigation

I have officially been unemployed from a 9-5 job for two months and while completely liberating, I am thwarted into the realistic world of entrepreneurship 24/7. Now I eat, breathe and sleep my nonprofit and for profit business, constantly thinking of what the next steps are, how to better market myself and what is really the most important thing right now. I have so many wonderful ideas that I know are God inspired, but I also know that I have to rely on Him to reveal when it's time to do what. True navigation through a time in which although seems familiar, is nothing like I have ever encountered. Navigation in deep waters is something that takes more than just a gut feeling, it takes know how and candor, the ability to know when to ask for help, knowing when to go with or against the waves, knowing that sometimes our compass may not be on target and we can't rely on our earthly tools.

My nonprofit is off to the races...it amazes me that God has blessed us with so much, and we haven't even received our letter of determination that entitles us to solicit other organizations for donations and sponsorships. God can certainly stretch and keep us, Selah.

So, I am thankful for not being the captain of my ship for no longer being in the driver's seat and for navigating through the roughest seas I have ever encountered.
