Where is God when it hurts

Many of you know that I have been a business owner for the past fifteen years. I have had good and bad seasons. The beginning of this year was shaping up to be a good one. Then came June July and August. These months are traditionally a very busy time, well not this year. My wife Lisa and I would get to the last few days of the month and we would wonder how we would make ends meet. Every month we just would squeak by. God has shown Himself faithful. Anyway last night I found out that we had lost our number one account. We had been doing business with this Restaurant for eight years. What a blow!!! I worked so hard to please the managers, to work as unto the Lord, I gave them my very best, and pouf just like that they hired another company to take my place. It really hurt. So I had to ask the Lord why? His ways are higher than mine. I am still reeling from this whole experience. Please pray for me that I would have the insight I need to move on. I will let you know what happens next time.

Enjoying my family on Vacation

Lisa I and the boys are enjoying a week together at Dolphin Island. It is the southern most point of Alabama. When you think of Alabama you never think of beautiful beachs, incredable sunrises and great sea food. When I used to think of Alabama I thought, Forest Gump!!! I have been spending alot of time with my boys getting to know them better. Its has been a nice break from the demands of my business.
