Have you every experienced God setting up events in your life and it just causes you to be in awe?  What started out as a burden ended up being the very thing to get you over the hump.  Well that is what is happening in my life now.  I will not be boring you with details, but i do want to to praise the lords name for watching over me always.

I am grateful that the business is now off the ground and boy have we hit the ground running!!!

(shamless plug) PLEASE VISIT The Sardoma Group, Inc. website  for the latest as far as this venture goes; and of course if there is anything we can do for you just email us!  Now, that we got that out of the way, back to how God has turned an “unfortunate incident” into a blessing.

Within a few hours of the website being live we have had a lot of interest.  Needless to say that the next two months are going to be full speed ahead.  With trips to Savannah, Hilton Head, Las Vegas, Philippines, and possibly Guam; I am going to be beyond busy.  I could have never thought that it would be like this.

A couple of years ago, I was sick in the hospital for a week with a sever case of pneumonia.  That derailed my attending school full time and forcing me to enter the workforce.  In that time, i held jobs with titles Store Manager, District Trainer, Sales Manager, General Manager.  The jobs were great and the pay enabled me to support myself and my family with more to spare.  But in the back of my mind, I was always asking myself “why would the lord allow me to be sick?”  Fast forward to the present; I am back in school in line to earn my PhD.  Remember me constantly asking God “why did i have to be sick?”  Well if i wasn’t sick, I would not have been forced to enter the workforce and get real life experience.  Without the managerial experience  I would not be able to pursue a PhD.  In the end, the pain of being sick ended up being a blessing in disguise.  In no way could i imagine my getting sick as the foundation for obtaining my PhD.

As Christians, we are always in line to receive God’s graces.  What we need to realize is that the way we receive God’s grace is not always in a manner we think it should be.  We will always go through obstacles in our lives but with the Lord in your life it is very possible that hose obstacles will in reality be the blessing you are praying for!!!

In his name we live,

PJ
