For the last several months I've worked in sales. Standard production turnaround time varies from 2 - 5ish weeks. In our fast-paced world, I've noticed that frequently people end up leaving things to the last minute. Rush fees and expedited shipping are required to meet the very important event date. But then, once in a blue moon, an order will come across my desk...and I can feel the weight fall off my shoulders as I breathe a sigh relief. This client has planned ahead. They are placing an order for an event that's two, maybe three months down the road. They are preparing in advance. These clients are a little blessing in the swirls of life. Reminds me of… and causes me to wonder, how much easier life would be if we were walking in what God had planned in advance for us to do...
