Tough Going

I have not posted recently because I have been a bit distracted with work, or the lack there of lately. When I started my Company almost 5 years ago it was on a VERY slim budget. See my extended family does not have a lot of money therefore any money I had, which was not much, had to come from me. The Lord was more than gracious to us and we have been successful for 4 years now. Well, this year is a bit different, as it is for many, many people. I have watched friends lose jobs. Long standing companies go out of business, and many people much, much more established than me call it quits. Recently we have been hit with a "lack of work". It is a VERY tough market right now. Many people are acting scared and just trying to hang on and are doing some very foolish things which will only hasten their demise and possibly take some other people with them.

All of these things have forced me to re-look at my company and the direction it is going. I have not particularly enjoyed the type of work we were doing but it has made money. That is not the case any more. Times are tough and Uber-Competitive. So I have decided to essentially totally change my company. Like someone once stated as the definition of insanity: " Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result." It is a little un-nerving, but this much I know. I may succeed or I may fail, but I know the Lord will look after me always. As He always has.
