Most of my life never “went viral.”
No overnight success.
No hockey-stick charts.
Just decades of showing up.
Working jobs.
Serving people.
Doing the “unsexy” stuff when nobody was watching.
Back then, it didn’t feel strategic.
It just felt like faithfulness.
More like an automatic pilot.
Keep your word.
Outwork the problem.
Doing the right thing when it costs you.
I didn’t realize God was stacking skills.
Sales.
Storytelling.
Relationships.
Operations.
Resilience.
Refusal to give up.
Now, in this season of building a founder-focused brand,
I can see it~
None of it was wasted.
This isn’t a weekend idea.
It’s a decade-in-the-making mission.
Every chapter, every layoff, every late night
is baked into the fabric of what I’m building now.
If your life doesn’t look flashy on social media,
don’t underestimate long obedience in the same direction.
The grind that didn’t go viral
might be the very reason you’re finally ready,
for the thing God asked you to build.
I am no stranger to life's ups and downs.
And then I thought, in my 68 years of life.
Whatever was thrown at me... and didn't kill me,
made me stronger.
I know that it was my mother's faith and example
In how she lived, that set the bar.
I will share her message she wrote in my little Gideon's
Bible back in 1988. I, like her, am not ashamed of the Good News.
We'd better get this right, because Eternity is a long time.
