The past few weeks, I have been forming a routine to start my week off in the right direction. Every Monday, I meet with my friend Jeremy at the local Perkins for breakfast. Jeremy is a friend, a fellow business owner, and a strong Christian. We meet each week to talk about business ideas, see how each other’s past week has been, and see what each of us has for the week ahead. We also uplift each other with prayer and keep each other accountable.
I just got back to my office from this mornings breakfast with Jeremy, and I have a very bright outlook for this week. I have an opportunity in front of me that will grow my business very quickly, but I am in need of financial support to do it. Jeremy gave me the number to the Northeast Entrepreneur Fund, an organization that helps stimulate business growth here in the Northland. He also encouraged me to step forward and call the bank, which I had been thinking about.
One of the things that really struck me today as I talked to Jeremy, is that I need to take action. I’ve already given God control of the steering wheel to my life, but I still need to hit the accellerator to move forward. God can’t steer me in the right direction unless I’m already moving. I need to step forward in faith, and God will open or close the doors that will send me where He wants me.
