Take note of the bumblebee. “According to a theory of aerodynamics, as demonstrated through wind tunnel tests, the bumblebee should be unable to fly. Because of the size, weight, and shape of its body in relation to the total wingspan, flying is scientifically impossible. A bumblebee, being ignorant of scientific theory, goes ahead and flies anyway and makes honey every day.” - John C. Maxwell, Attitude 101 - What Every Leader Needs To Know” #soulfie #attitude
Sometimes I struggle with asking for the big things in prayer. I find myself asking for the most basic of needs. I forget how grand our God is. I forget that he spoke the stars into the universe and He calls them all by name. He spoke me into creation and he calls me by name as well. He loves all of His creations, but he especially loves us. We are created in His image. We are created to do GREAT things with these beautiful minds. Ask Him for knowledge to complete that degree, ask Him for guidance to find a Christ-centered spouse, ask Him for wisdom to LEAD. He wants you to be the BEST version of you. I dare you to ask Him, be obedient, and be ready for His blessings. #soulfie #prayer #askGod
My uncle found this article in his collector papers today. This was back in about 1977. My father was selling gas for $.10 a gallon to the first 50 customers. It was during a major oil crisis, and my dad was going to stop selling fuel because the insurance was too high. This gentleman was customer 51 and decided to argue with Dad. I’m sure he politely let him have it. 😂 My father was always a very fair man. The customers were lined up and down Haines Road to get fuel that day. The Lord intervened in this situation and provided enough income for my father to insure fuel pumps for another 30 YEARS. Every time he thought he had to close the doors, the Lord stepped in and said, “Not so fast, Robert!” My dad‘s hardware store was created after the great depression. This business survived World War II, Vietnam, the Gulf War, oil spikes, recessions, burglaries, deaths, good and bad employees, and all kinds of business cycles. He was able to open the door every day until he just couldn’t do it anymore in 2011. He was just one little man, but this one little man supplied income for many people for a long time, supported our family, and helped many people in the community. My father was far from a perfect man, but he did love Jesus. When you turn difficult situations over to the Lord, he steps up and steps in! I know this to be true. Carry on. #smallbusiness #smallbusinessowner #survivor #oldschool #giveitalltogod #jesushears
