Abba?
Today is a very important day in my life.
After months and weeks of struggling to keep it running, and after being robbed three times in 6 weeks, place cleaned out, after running around for days on end trying to raise a measly 15 million bucks to get it back in operation, after spending countless nights awake pondering the inevitable, after the ceaseless prayers I sent heavenward in my pleas for help, I have finally conceded defeat.
Office 2, a family restaurant that was unfortunately left in my hands by circumstances no one wants to ever experience in their lifetime, has officially closed. Today I go to pick up the remaining few things the robbers were kind enough to leave us.
As the hour to the final reality of closing the doors forever draws closer, tears well up in my eyes for the three little lives that depended on that restaurant.
I can only ask one question:
Abba, in all my years of trusting you, seeking your counsel, enduring your rebuke, and putting all my faith in you… Abba,
Where are you?

I’m sorry. So so sorry.
Maybe this time, Abba is saying a gentle “No”. But he is always there; you know that. Always.
What doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger.

((((((((DK)))))) He is there. Just like in the story of the footprints in the sand: When you are at your weakest, He’ll fill you with His strength………..

Abba never leaves yo side…always there.
A friend of mine once told me that God has only 3 answers to every prayer he recieves..
1. Yes
2. Not yet
3. I have something better in store for u.
So mon dearie, if it didn’t work out, I think we are looking at reasons 2 or 3.
I hope I’ve made some sense. U’ll be fine. It takes little knocks like these to make us greater people.
Bless
