And then she called. One of my seven, YES 7, business partners called to talk to me about a few projects that are in the works. She heard it. My frustration was all over the tone of my voice. My normally quick-to-answer, silver-lining-pointing-out, love-to-strategize brain was DONEZO. "I hope I'm not adding to your frustration," she said. On the contrary, she has no idea just how much she relieved it.
"Ryn, you are capable ... So strong ... So impactful ... So business minded ... Your presence is strong and so well received ... And you have an approach that nobody else has. I can promise you that you have nothing to worry about in regards to the opinions of others. You're a natural and people know it."
I. LOVE. THIS. LADY. LIKE. SHE. IS. MY. SISTER. That conversation literally turned my day around and my afternoon went off without a hitch. Even better, the office staff in my precious offices followed up her encouragement with encouraging words of their own without even knowing that I needed a pep-talk.
See, the Lord knows exactly what we need to calm our spirit. He knows how we operate best and He can manipulate situations to help you out, you just have to trust.
He's really, really good ... All of the days. But most days we fail to look closely at how He works to benefit us. So that's what I've made this thirty days of thanks about. I'm thankful for my wonderful family and friends, but I think that this year the Lord's actions in my every day life need more recognition. So for the next 24 days, you get a front row seat to the happenings in my life. Not that you care to know or that I'm airing a reality show about little ol' Ryn ... But I do hope it motivates you to look every single day at the silver linings that God places in your life to cushion your days. He's real, real good.
