Break or make depends on what your thinking

One of my "wedding godfathers", a good friend and a godly man, concerned about me and my family and how I handle my job as a "provider" recently challenged me with my decision to embark on my latest business venture. - silkscreen and digital printing business. 

I understood what he was saying, and the facts that he presented was hard to ignore. But throughout our  conversation. My conviction of "investing in many" and "do-what-you-love-to-do-as-long-as-the-Holy-Spirit-leads-you"  remained steadfast. Our conversation ended with me feeling a bit happy and elated that I stood by what I believed in.  

But then when I got home.

I suddenly had doubts. 

Could he be right? Could it be that he was sent by God to tell me that I am in the wrong path??!?? 

And the timing of this could have not been more perfect. My mobile was cut-off because I could not pay. We we're late for rent and we needed to pay utilities asap. 

The one hour conversation with my godfather had made an impact to me which lasted several days. I could not move,  I put on hold setting-up my business altogether for the time being. 

I tried to find encouragement by calling out verses in the bible about "conquering enemies" being victorious etc. But somehow, I was still not moving.  

Then one of my printing project deadline caught up with me.  I had to come up with a print that was technical, something I did not know how to do. All the sudden, the voice of "get out of this venture, this is not for you!" rang in head again. But since I've  already committed myself to this client I decided to to do it anyways.

I had to learn asap via youtube.

Going thru the motions of researching in youtube, preparing the prints, burning the image etc. I suddenly felt the joy again, something about "just do it" perks me up out of catatonia  and I was super excited when the prints turned out to be better that I expected.   

I asked God. Father what happened???

Then he told me this. 

"My grace is sufficient upon you. Even my favor. Remember Matthew 6:25-34. The whole sermon about "do not worry". 

Your biggest inhibitor is your mind. When you have the wrong impression about me. - That I sent someone to talk to you to tell you DO NOT. That I'd want you to do something else that you do not enjoy or else I will not provide. You fail to tap into my abundant riches and glory. 

I am your God, but because of what Jesus did, I am also your Father. When I speak to you. I always do it in love. Not in fear. Not in uncertainty. But in LOVE."

I gotta get more into thinking the right things always. Even when people who I respect and love tell me otherwise. Maybe I should make that into a T-shirt print.

"Right place, Right time - God's job

"Right thoughts"- Your job.

Or something like that.. lets see.  anyways. Here's a sample of my test print for the project. Thats my son on his first haircut:)
