God humbles me at just the right moments, this time showing me
that I’m not as efficient as I pride myself on being. Last Friday, I waited at
the wrong restaurant for my friend and Faith Alive family member K.J. McCorry,
professional organizer/author/speaker/trainer/recycler extraordinaire whose
businesses (Officiency and eco-officiency) epitomize…you guessed
it, efficiency! Dare I reveal that I was the one who suggested the restaurant
where she was and I was not? Thanks to KJ for extending grace to me, a result I
imagine of living with “over the top blessings” that she said she’s
experiencing in her life.
KJ remembers fondly her two visits to Faith Alive and hopes
to one day return. She asked about a lot of people by name and wants the Faith
Alive staff to be prepared to take efficiency exams when next she visits! She
wishes health, happiness, safety and peace for them and their families, people
she remembers as showing warmth to her and loyalty to Faith Alive. One of her fondest
memories, however, is playing the “Killer Uno” card game in the dark with
headlamps.
Not one to let good advice go unspoken, KJ gave me some
about my book (i.e. put a few people’s faces on the cover, start writing more
on your blog about your Faith Alive book, use specific key words that people
search for online, etc.). She had so much more to tell me, but we ran out of
time as another person who plans to travel to Faith Alive arrived. At least I
was at the right place at the right time for my next appointment.
