...A Zillion Years Ago

A funny thing happened the other day while I was shadowing another sales executive; we went into a business and the owner recognizes me from the good old days in real estate in the late 90's and early 2000's. He used to work as a lender at Wells Fargo. He's now running a Pizza House. He's content, however, he misses the days where he would make $50-60k a month...I suppose anyone would.

He went on to explain his story how his his niche market dried up and the 7 houses he had acquired, were lost to foreclosure. He said he is blessed to have a job and makes just enough to feed his family. I concurred, and explained a little of my story, and how through it all God has still blessed us with less but more importantly, that I don't have to worry about what was or is to come. I too, am blessed to have landed a B2B advertising sales position.

It is so comforting to know that God already knew that at almost age 50, I would be starting a completely different career, and He knew that a zillion years ago.
