Finding Joy in Christ Alone

When God confirmed for the um-teenth time that I was meant to be an entrepreneur, I was flooded with anticipation.  I had a countdown on my phone with the number of days I had left at the hospital and I couldn't wait to leave.  I longed to be a full-time entrepreneur instead of building my business on the side.  Building Humble and Whole on the side often meant it was pushed to the back burner to make time for the sleep I was sorely lacking.
