THE WINNERS

[Iris]

"Let Go and Let God"....I've been working at this for years.  For the past 15 years or so I felt like there was a purpose to my life that was yet unknown to me, and I was waiting for God to show me the way.  Amidst many struggles and losses, I really focused on "Let it Go".  In 2014 my younger brother unexpectedly died (natural causes in his sleep), causing quite a shock to my family.  And after his death, many things fell in place for us, we put our house up for sale, quit jobs, moved out of state, studied, tested and passed dozens of certifications, started a new company, and are now working in jobs where we interact with customers who are so thankful for us we often receive hugs (we now work with seniors). We never experienced that before in any of our other careers!  Throughout we've said this feels as though God has guided us along each step, and we've told many people this as we're just amazed at how everything has happened at just the right time in the past year.

So "Let Go and Let God"...yes, I am a firm believer.  God though has his own timeline, and for us about 15 years passed before everything seemed to come together, and throughout that period we lost a great deal...family members, pets, finances, jobs, health, etc. In retrospect, I believe all the losses led us to turning more to God, increasing our faith, and eventually led to the path we are now on.  So God in his own time, set our direction, and we came through all of these challenges even stronger, focused now on what we believe is very positive work.

Keep the faith!
