Rain

I have a business concept that I am researching, in between doing some freelance consulting work. Like all new business ideas, some people are very enthusiastic and others probably think I've lost my marbles. Many small businesses fail, and the risks are high. An added dimension is that I have a deep sense of God calling me in to this, but then I wonder if I'm making it up as I go along. I wonder if I can do it, I look at all the gaps in my abilities, and I question if God, that other voice in my head, is really just me after all. This morning I went for my early morning bike ride with my neighbour. it was freezing and windy. A little way into the ride, a big drop of water landed right in the middle of my nose. I wondered what it could be, it was very large and there was only one. I thought - could this be rain? It seemed too random! There there was a second one. This one fell in my ear. Again I asked myself - could this be rain? It seemed more like a bird dropping than a rain dropping! And then that "other" voice in my head said; "When will you believe that it is going to rain? Only when it is raining? Is there no sign that you will believe?" And I said; "Yes I'm afraid so, I only believe it will rain when it is raining. Please forgive me." And then it rained. Heavily. Okay, I get it.

Is God real?

Recently I left my big corporate job because I had a deep sense that I needed to change the way I was living. I yearned to work in my community, spend time with my family and had a small business idea that I wanted to pursue. The problem is I am the sole bread winner and was on a 6 figure salary. I am regularly being approached about similar roles. I have a deep sense that God is real and is calling me into something different- and an equal number of doubts! Follow me as I wrestle with the dilemma - is God real?
