Write Right celebrates its one-year anniversary this January. (LinkedIn says five, which is correct if counting the years the site and character have been around.) I’ve been in business for a year!
It seems somewhat unbelievable. Oh, I knew I could be a business owner — my past boss prepped me wonderfully for the work — but the step was still scary. It sometimes still is.
I occasionally feel out of depth and uncertain. I experience a certain level of frustration when it comes to figuring out insurance. (Who doesn’t?) Underneath those surface emotions, though, lies a steadiness.
I know I’m where I’m supposed to be for the moment. God wants me in this place of the unknown. He desires that I follow after him as Abraham, Moses, and Daniel followed. He wants me to trust, to find security in him.
I fail miserably much of the time. I still fret and stew about things. Molehills become mountains. My brain whirs and whirs for days on end. The issue resolves, and I wonder why I worried.
The answer comes: I focused on the wrong thing. I lost sight of God and all that he has done and is doing. With the answer comes a solution: return, re-center on God.
It does occur, if only in the minutes of authoring this post. I remember God and give thanks for how he has gone before me this past year. I praise him for how he will be with me in this one—in the good and the bad. He is with me in all things.
Happy anniversary, Write Right. Thank you, God, for blessing me with work and success. Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. Amen.
To God be all the glory and praise. You are more than enough.
