I read this statement again recently...
"all things consider equal, customers want to do business with someone they feel like they can trust..."
I also read the following statement...
"all things not considered equal, customers still want to do business with someone they feel like they can trust!"
So all you folks out there is sales world ... or really anywhere ... don't forget how important it is to be trustworthy. Trust is not something you request... you earn it!

but God...
Just re-reading some things from past experiences this morning and was encouraged again by this verse...
Romans 5:8 "But God demonstrates His own love toward us, in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us."
Through my years of following Jesus, these two words have become some of my favorite ... and I whisper them to myself often... "But God..."
When I feel like I have messed up... feel like I have failed... feel like I have come up short... "But God..."

L.I.P. back on track...
Last week threw the L.I.P. program off track a bit. My schedule had me travelling all over the state... I didn't miss by much driving 1,500 miles last week... whew! But today I took an hour and went to the gym to get back on track. Got my hour in...
L.I.P. for Mon Aug 17 complete! Feeling good about it!

learning to pray...
I've been so challenged recently by the Elijah series that Jon has been teaching at True North Church. I've become extremely motivated by the words of James 5:17... "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours..." or maybe better said... "Elijah was a man JUST LIKE US!"
Elijah offered up some powerful prayers that produced powerful results. His prayers were humble, specific, persistent and expectant. I want my prayers to bold like those of Elijah. I want to be persistent in prayer... pray until God does something like Elijah.
We had a couple of areas set up for prayer yesterday at church and several folks took shifts to pray over prayer cards and other needs. My 15 minutes was challenging for me. As I read through all the hurts, needs, and challenges that people in my own church are experiencing I was convicted of how much I get distracted by my own busy schedule and tend to ignore the needs of others. I want to be one who prays bold prayers to God and expects Him to do great things. I have decided to position myself to be displined to pray for others, for our country, for my church, for my business, for my employees, for our mission and purpose. Join with me and let's pray together and believe God for some great BIG things.
Elijah did it... and he was a man just like us!
