Success on Every Side of the Battle

You’ve been there before…sucker punched.

A deal falls through.

Something fails.

A hope comes crashing.

Broken, fear filled, painful, heart stricken.

The blue October sky turned bleak.

My son comes in to hurry me as I stand, struck hard. I wasn’t prepared for this blow. I didn’t realize a battle was ensuing. I forgot that battles were never ending. I kiss my husband, ask if he is good and he reassuringly says he’s not worried and that it will all work out. I trust Him. I can’t disappoint my kids, I have to keep going, so I grab the keys and go.

To the zoo. On a beautiful October day. Heartbroken.
