One week is a long time in politics, so they say. It is equally long in the business world. My week started last Sunday, when we distributed some relief to some flood victims.
The drama started as soon as we entered the village when dark storm clouds began to gather and all of a sudden, strong winds began to blow and the heavens opend with a torrent. We finished our task at hand and left for home unscath and with some relief (pun not intended) that we able to get out of the place.
We reached home safely, thinking that I could have some Sunday siesta. It is not to be. I received a call from my client saying a structure we put up had been blown down and is now partially blocking a busy dual carraige way. We have to do something. We did, over the next few hours in pitch darkness except for the headlights of a giant crane and in driving rain. Thank God nobody was injured!
Then the next day and week was a mad scramble to rectify the situation, appeasing the client and meeting the deadlines for this particular client for an on going project. It is like walking in the eye of the storm,
where everything is flying, messy, churned up and yet I feel peace and calm amidst all the stress. I had favour from Jesus and favour from men.
The damage was not too great and the client was not too mad to sack us from exisiting projects. The projects at hand are now proceeding smoothly though I had to give more time than normal to manage and pull things together. Staff and suppliers have been very cooperative and despite hicups here and there, the end of the tunnel is sighted. Next weekend should see the completion of the current project.
Thank you Jesus.
