I was devastated.  We were severely in debt.  My husband wasn’t working.  The economy wasn’t good.  I felt that we had worked all our lives to get to where we were – and now we would lose it all.

I couldn’t call my husband, couldn’t call my mom, couldn’t call my son and didn’t feel like I could go home.  So I went out to the lake - and I sat and cried.

And then – in an instant – it just stopped.  A calm came over me – and I felt that everything would be okay.

On January 1st 2003, I got a call from a colleague asking me to help (on a contract basis) with maintenance of their database system.  When I finished with that job, I got a call from another company.

In June 2003, I registered my company – Big Blue Water – as an LLC with the state.  By the end of the year, I had paid off all of our debt with the exception of the house.  I now have my son working with me fulltime and another employee part-time.  I’ve partnered with other local companies who provide complementary services.

We aren’t getting rich – but we are surviving – and I honestly believe that God gave it to me.  I don’t know where it will lead – and there are days that I wonder – but I don’t believe that God would set me up for failure - and I have faith that he will see me through.
