Thanks for sharing Marcellino - a lot of ppl will read and be skeptical, mostly bc they have not yet undergone something similar. Some situation where God clearly shows you that you're not in charge.
As Catholic Entrepreneurs, I think this is the hardest thing to accept: not everything can be WILLED into existence by US. We need to follow the path that God has for us and gratefully accept the crosses that come along the way.
AMEN. That's the core lesson that I learned in this past four years. My will was insufficient to say the least. God wants us to build with him, not for him.
Thank you for writing this. I know well the challenge of asking why things don't seem to go your way, even though you "did everything right". You said that God works in centuries, and generations, not minutes, and that is such an important thing to keep reminding ourselves. We see things in the finite, He sees them in the infinite. When we surrender, then the work can truly begin.
I finally got around to reading this and it was so worth the wait. One of the insights I’ve developed in Lent is that our God is a jealous god, which means he wants everything, even the bad stuff. As a semi-entrepreneur (currently), some things are easier to surrender than others.
Thank you for your continued vulnerability in these spaces. It’s so inspiring and so, so needed.

that should be framed "Build with God, not for Him."
