contemplations of a dad, husband and entrepreneur
27 Jun
In talking to a friend about walking through my last week at RELEVANT, i wrote this:
It’s weird and very exciting all at the same time. Honestly, God has dropped a lot into my head lately so I spend a lot of my off-time thinking about what could be. At times, that’s fun but can be equally frustrating. It’s weird when I hear myself talk about starting a small ad agency but quickly following that up with a comment/dream of starting a nonprofit too. Everything seems to be available for consideration. I’ve never dreamed like this before. It is exhilarating in a lot of ways but overwhelming too. Where do you start? What will it look like? What does God really have for my future? Am I thinking big enough; or too small; am I even on the right path? Everything is up for grabs and the details still remain unclear.
But.
I know that this is exactly where I’m supposed to be. Why? Because it keeps me relying on Him. It keeps me focused on His dreams, not my own. And its all overwhelming and a bit out of control.
I’ve heard it once said that if you’re feet are on the ground and everything seems easy, then you’re not living God’s best. If that’s true, then I’m definitely walking down the right path.
So that’s it. That’s where I’m at.

we’re excited to see what god has for you!
congratulations.
…I would like to beg you dear Sir, as well as I can, to have patience with everything unresolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language. Don’t search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps then, someday far in the future, you will gradually, without even noticing it, live your way into the answer.
Rainer Maria Rilke, 1903
