READY

A very important word that was taught to me before we launched Vinings Lake is "READY".  It remains an important word - over 1 1/2 years later.  

When we were getting ready to launch, I was stressed about getting things "ready" for the target date to begin - obviously wanting that to be sooner than later.  But I was set at ease when this word became a resting point for me to realize - "we will launch - when we are READY!"

This is still an important word today.  As we begin new things, transition and grow - it is not only wise, but comforting to be READY.  It is easier to be ready - than to have to "re-act".  Sometimes this takes time, sometimes focus, and most of the time - both!

And being "ready" doesn't always mean that we know what is coming our way - it involves a "ready" and open heart and mind.  God is in control and whatever He chooses to give us, allow us, and direct toward us - He will provide EVERYTHING we need - as we remain READY and flexible - to receive it!
