Weakness:
Well tonight I had to sit and write out my official business plan for the restaurant. YES, I HATED EVERY MINUTE OF IT. I think I would rather have a tooth ache. It is crazy how I can sit and talk about my plans in vivid detail all night long but struggle so much to put it on paper. I know the benefit (and I appreciate benefits) but the drive still had to be motivated by cash. No, I didn't con Mark into paying me to write it, I just knew that if I didn't, then the goals I set for redesigning the kitchen and ideas for change in the restaurant would never happen. For some reason Banks like Business Plans. Go Figure. Now to the point:
I am focusing on the "buts" in the Bible for my personal study. (Idea from Michael Robison)
Today it is:
Romans 12:12 Do not conform any longer to the patterns of this world(myself), but be transformed by the renewing of my mind. Then I will be able to test and approve what God's will is - his good, pleasing and perfect will.
If I can handle the little things then God will continue to allow me a chance to experience the BIG things.
The reality is:
It is an exciting time to be me for me. God is confirming things in me that I had put on the back burner. He is setting up people in my life that will coach me to success. He is opening doors and closing others with His perfect timing, though I don't understand it at the time.
Thank you to all who are supporting me in this adventure and I am glad to have you here experiencing it with me.

15-16 let's keep focused on that goal, those of us who want everything God has for us. If any of you have something else in mind, something less than total commitment, God will clear your blurred vision—you'll see it yet! Now that we're on the right track, let's stay on it.

Ephesians 3:20 (The Message)
20-21 God can do anything, you know—far more than you could ever imagine or guess or request in your wildest dreams! He does it not by pushing us around but by working within us, his Spirit deeply and gently within us.
