You will
also declare a thing, and it will be established for you; So light will shine
on your ways.
- Job 22:28 (NKJV)
A
friend of mine retired a couple of weeks ago, and I’ve been so excited watching
her step into a brand-new season of life. It also got me thinking — which is
usually a dangerous thing. 😊
I started working like a lot of teenagers do: fast food, waitressing, cashiering, line cooking, prep cooking. After high school I landed a factory job, and eventually I somehow worked my way into corporate America, where I still am today.
But the workforce has changed a lot over the years. Job security feels more uncertain than ever. The first Fortune 500 company I worked for downsized multiple times. Between the two of us, Randy and I have been “reorganized” — which is a very polished corporate way of saying our jobs were eliminated — three different times. Even after moving to a larger company, we’ve still experienced being “displaced.”
It teaches you pretty quickly that sometimes the ground beneath your feet is not nearly as solid as you thought it was.
So we decided to do what a lot of people do when uncertainty creeps in — we started building something of our own. Randy earned his FAA drone license, and together we launched our little hobby-business, Surface 2 Sky Productions LLC. He records events, creates “then and now” photography, captures drone footage for events and real estate, and now we’ve even invested in a 360 photo booth for fun event videos.
And honestly? It’s exciting… but also scary.
Starting something before you know whether it will succeed feels a little like riding a motorcycle at night. Your headlight only shows part of the road ahead. You can’t see every turn, every bump, or exactly where you’ll end up. But you keep moving forward anyway, trusting the light you’ve been given for this moment.
That’s what faith often looks like.
Job 22:28 reminds us that there is power in stepping forward in faith and declaring what God has placed in our hearts. Not arrogance. Not pretending we control the future. But trusting that God can guide the path ahead even when we cannot fully see it yet.
We don’t know exactly where this journey with Surface 2 Sky will lead. Maybe it grows into something big. Maybe it simply becomes a blessing in smaller ways we can’t yet imagine. But sometimes faith means trying anyway. Planting anyway. Dreaming anyway. Moving forward anyway.
And trusting God to shine light on the road ahead one step at a time.
