One year ago today they were putting up our sign on the outside of the building. Along with that we declared a soft opening with Dec. 1st scheduled as our official grand opening. I was scared, excited, and honestly, a little bewildered as to where my friends were. This isn't your average one year post. It's raw, real and honest but I am writing it with a hope of healing some unmet expectations that I had going into this adventure.

I had blocked out not only her fear but also the KMART building that we were seemingly destined to smash into. I did what needed to be done. And I did it well. Then and only then after everything was secure and she and I were safe did I allow myself to feel the emotion and process what I had just gone through. Little did I know that this was how I would handle every crisis that I would encounter for the next 37 years.

I hear Him whisper that I am not to try and be them or copy them. He made them unique and anything that I do to try to recreate them will be a massive failure. I must develop myself. But I’m struggling.

It's nothing for me to now have several projects going at a time but with progress being made, usually on a daily basis.

Trying to be enough? Telling yourself you are enough? Guess what? You can’t and you aren’t. Only with Jesus can you be enough. If you have Him then don’t worry because He is enough and THAT is what makes you enough.
