Give Credit...Where Credit is Due


Sunday, Mark had a few men come to Kaffe Blue
 to pray for our business. It was awesome how these men:
  •  walked around my dining room praying over each chair. A prayer of prosperity for the customer that would sit in that spot. A prayer for authentic relationships to be experienced inside Kaffe Blue as well as in their lives. That a positive environment would prevail. 
  • in my kitchen a prayer of efficient work, healthy food, a great new design that promotes teamwork and energy. 
  • in the breakroom-employees would find this workplace a sanctuary where God moves. A safe place. A place to learn leadership skills, positive character traits, integrity, loyalty, balance. Financially be blessed.  
  • in the office - that knowledge would come quickly.  Finances to be healthy and prosper. Relationships to be steady and firm. Ability to invest in my suppliers more than just by purchasing food. 
  • Meeting room - that businesses that used this room would be successful. Grow and expand to create opportunities for our region. 
  • Private Room - that intimate milestone moments are created, engagement questions asked, announcement of coming grandchildren, anniversary celebrations. All to be beautiful moments blessed and covered by God. 
Well that was Sunday. Tuesday however did not appear to bring any of those things. Tuesday was a day straight from hell.  At first I was tempted to say the typical "satan is attacking what these men had put in place through prayer". Then I decided why would I give satan any credit for anything that happens in my business. ALL THINGS WORK FOR THE GOOD. I believe that every experience that came our way this week is a move of God. A sifting of the the bad from the good. I am reminded of the vision for KB and what our goals are. We will stand strong. We will be steadfast. We will honor and give credit where credit is due and that is to my God, Jesus Christ. 
As for Wednesday, Thursday and so on......Bring it!

Goalicious



Yes! February has come and gone and Kaffe Blue reached the amazing goal that was set! Thanks to all the hungry people who came in and put your dollar down. I am amazed at God and how He continually delivers even when our doubt takes over our brain. Great things are happening:
  • architects are looking at kitchen and getting back to me with quotes
  • gearing up to be open on Saturday for lunch
  • bringing in a professional barista for coffee cuppings coming soon (tasting) 
  • a new 52" tv has been added to the dining room
  • a new 46" tv has been added to the private dinin room
  • bar stools with backs are being picked up Monday
A new month, a new goal, the same great adventure!
