“I’m Not Doing This Alone.”

This entrepreneurial journey can feel so lonely at times—especially when you’re walking with God and living in constant anticipation, waiting for the next step He reveals.
Because this business is faith-led, I’m learning that many people don’t understand it. They expect me to move in ways that reflect their strategies, not God’s instructions. But the way I walk isn’t rooted in the world. It’s rooted in obedience.
Today, after what felt like a deep betrayal, I broke down. I walked out onto the patio, tears streaming, and cried out to God.
“Why do people manipulate? Why do they choose to hurt others? What is ever gained?”
As I sat there in disbelief and pain, I looked up—and there it was.
A tiny hummingbird, hovering in front of me. Not flitting by. Not rushing off. Just there.
I wiped my tears and focused in, stunned. I usually see them early in the morning, but this was evening. It felt strange… and yet deeply intentional.
In that moment, I was reminded:
I’m not doing this alone.
Even when I feel misunderstood.
Even when the world’s way tries to shout louder than God’s.
Even when betrayal knocks the wind out of me.
God is still near. He sends reminders—sometimes with wings.
