One area of our marriage where there is division is in William's business. I talk about it as being separate from me. I operate like it's separate from me. It's his thing.
What if I treated the business like it was ours? What if I operated like we couldn't survive without it being successful? What if it were my business?
Here are some choices I'd make:
1. I would have a website yesterday.
2. I would place Kendall in daycare at least 2 days a week to allow time to work on my business.
3. I'd commit to a plan of action daily to attract others to my business.
So why is this an area of division? Frankly, because its hard. I don't want the stigma of having a business that's not successful. Business requires clear investment choices...we would have to dig in and spend our savings differently, operate our home differently, be different in our weekend activities. We'd have to be committed to the business. It would have to move beyond a lucrative hobby.
My prayer...Lord, help us to choose to invest in the success of our business. Change my thinking, my language, my attitude about our business. Help me to trust you more, knowing that you can meet all of our needs and desires through our business. I pray that you would give us a plan of attack, that William leads and I fully help to enable. This is my prayer....
