As a collaborator/connector I always find myself searching over social media sites and business forums for new potential connections. As I was on one of the business social sites last week I was reading through an article that a peer of mine had written on generosity. I am not one who usually reads through the comments section of posts, mostly because of my distaste of the many internet trolls out there who are just filled with ignorance and hate, but there was one really great comment by a lady who is a consultant to businesses. She was speaking about generosity in the workplace and a certain new initiative she was working on to assist companies in their expressions of generosity and care. Well my bell was ringing now because one of my major focus areas with the Foundation is to create giving structures within the workplace environment and we have been seeing great results. As I closed the article I felt this prompting in my spirit to find a way to get in touch with this lady. I went to another social platform and found her profile and sent her a message along with a connection request, to which she immediately responded and recommended that we get together to see how we might be able to collaborate. As I arrived for our appointment I was a few minutes early and had the opportunity to meet the individual she had been meeting with prior to me. Turns out he is an attorney that specializes in something I need an attorney for, and he is going to prepare the documents that I need for our charity to start a new project in Sarasota, Fl.
At this point we are all feeling very strongly that God had preset this specific set of people meeting, and we said a prayer right there in the coffee shop and asked God to continue to bless each of our endeavors. Continuing on with my meeting and sharing with each other what our individual organizations can do it became very apparent that we knew a lot of the same people and that each of our services complimented the other’s without doing exactly what the other person does. Needless to say this was a great moment to watch God at work and we will be moving forward with some more discovery of how we will begin working together on some generosity projects. This was indeed an answer to my prayers for new avenues to expand this program. Thank you God for your prompting and for my being a willing and obedient steward of your resources.
Gratefully,
