Earlier today I received a phone call from a client I hadn't heard from in months. Now normally, this would be a good thing, however, this is one of two clients that drive me up the wall. ( I had the other one yesterday! LOL) When she calls, I dread picking up the phone... I have her number programed in my cell so that I know that it is her and I have time to collect myself and get prepared before I call her back. I know that sounds terrible!
She called and just HAD to see me tonight... it was already 4pm when she called... and the irritation began.
I called her back in my nicest most professional voice and was hoping upon hope that she would change her mind and not come in. NO such luck... scheduled for 9pm.
I arrive at my office about ten minutes before 9 to set up and get ready. I am ready right on time and then the text from her comes... I am leaving my house now...
Immediately I am more irritated... After grousing for several minutes about how I should just reschedule her for the next day... she was clearly going to be more than 15 minutes late for a 30 minute appointment.
This strange calm came over me and it was like this little voice inside my heart and my head said... this isn't just a business, it is your ministry...
Ouch! Even though I was kinda grumpy that helped me pull it together before she got there and I was able to minister to her and let her know that I would be praying for her situation. I am so glad that God has taken over my business and my busyness.
