Reflections on my Birthday – Yesterday I turned 29
Reflections on my 29th Birthday10 years ago I made a decision. The decision was to study forestry. At the time I thought it would be the best way for me to lay the foundation for my future family. Reflecting back on that, it has been an amazing 10 years – totally not what I expected though. The biggest joy of those years has definitely been that I could marry my beautiful wife. Second to that is the birth of our son. This makes me now responsible for my family. I could also learn a lot about the sorrows of life. I lost my mother and we lost a baby. Those losses definitely take you deeper. The last year I really understood what Job meant when he said: “The Lord gives. The Lord takes. Praise be to the Lord!” On the professional side of things, I have had quite the storm. From forestry and looking for a job – to the eye-opening opportunity of business has been a transforming experience. I have done many things and failed at most. Over the years I could learn many lessons of what it means to become a Present Provider. Starting a business to support and lead my family proactively. I’m looking forward to the next 10 years and all the lessons it will bring. I’m also excited to give and my goal for the next 10 years is to focus on impact over income. I’m glad all of you join me and giving over taking more. So I’m glad you join me on the journey ahead. Provide with Presence, my brother! Jowi |
