New Year, New Direction

Some of you know this, but most of you don't. Daniel put in his two weeks notice to Sherwin-Williams this past Monday. He has worked for them for the past 12 years. They have been a wonderful company and he has learned a lot from all the people he has worked with. Daniel started working there in high school and kept working there through college. He assumed he would leave when he graduated from MSU, but instead became an Assistant Manager, then Manager, then Sales Rep. Daniel and our brother-in-law, Kerry, are forming a company named Col-Tin Construction. They will be sub-contractors, arranging their crews to do commercial finishing work.

I know you may think this is crazy in this economy, but they have done their homework and things are falling into place. For us, this is the right time in our lives to take this leap of faith. I have known that Daniel wanted to be his own boss for a long, long time. If we don't try this now, while we are young, we will probably never do it and then we will always wonder if it would have worked. I never want to look back and regret that Daniel did not try to achieve his dream. We are really excited and really nervous too. Please add us to your prayer list and just ask God to take care of us and lead us in the right direction.
