| Picture I know what it feels like, you think you are doing everything right, and then stuff you can not control trips you up.  A market starts to crash and you see your money dwindling and that fear that you haven’t felt in a while comes creeping back in. I want to encourage you today with a couple of truths: 1.   Don’t react, respond. In other words, don’t make hasty decisions because things are going the wrong way, stay calm, remember who is REALLY in control, and respond from a position of strength.  2.   It is NOT as bad as it seems in those fearful moments. There is a lot of strength in our economy, and I speak to hundreds of businesses. Most are very optimistic about the next 6 months, even if they had a rough first quarter. Drive around, and look at all the drive-thru’s still full and the restaurants still full, construction happening everywhere, there is a LOT of money in America and it has not fallen off a cliff. Business is still working!  3.   Remember who you are. Not the negative stuff the devil is trying to convince you of, the good stuff. Remember the good things you do, remember that God loves you-yes you, just as you are. Cling to that truth when things get tough and scary…you have to KNOW it deep in your bones. 4.   Give thanks. Remember all your blessings. Everything matters so much until your health goes, and then nothing else matters. Thank God today for your health. For your life, for I promise you, many people would love to be in your shoes. Life is not a destination, it’s a journey. And sometimes, the road is rocky, but stay on it…for a smooth road may be right around the corner.
