"Let's take the Bus!"

"Lots of people want to ride the limo with you: but what need us someone who is willing to take the bus with you when the limo breaks down."-Oprah. 

 

 

For ten years we were making hundreds of thousands a year. We took in people, ministered..gave away cars, clothing, helped people get into houses. Whenever we had a business idea, we got friends and family involved (although most times it bit us in the end) and after all that...when our business went south in the economic crash, we had a hard time getting return phone calls! WOW..

It really is interesting how people disappear when you are 'down'...the good thing about going through trials: you learn who your TRUE loved ones are!!!When we were UP, everyone wanted to be up with us...and when we come up on hard times, you cant REACH these same people who 'vowed' to be there for us always. But there are a select few that have come out of the wood works with love, encouragement, and a helping hand. 

One thing it all taught us was to depend solely on God. He is the one who has been sustaining us, and we are going through this 'Wilderness' for a season: to teach s something..and boy, are we learning!! It amazes me who God used to give us comfort and assistance. To them, I will be forever grateful. They know who they are.~ ;) #blessings..these people have shown that not only are they willing to 'take the bus' with us...but they would WALK with us if needed!! Rest assured, when God blesses us again...they will be the first we call to sow into!! ;)
