We thrive in crisis
I am blessed to both work for one of the largest utility companies in the nation as well as serve in the military. In both these roles, when natural disaster crises arise, we are often at the forefront. I get to be a part of amazing teams that step outside of their day to day roles and orchestrate the most complex of responses while keeping our communities calm in the storms. Today, as I traveled from site to site, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of pride at my teammates, many of whom had to leave their homes to ensure the safety and well being of the greater community. They are the humble servants that give of themselves so others will have power, clear transportation routes, necessary supplies, and be comforted in the warmth of their homes.
Where do you turn when you are lost?
Not once, but multiple times today I heard a simple question…What do you do when you are afraid or close to losing hope? What do you do when you are lost? I shared where I too had felt lost or without hope and that I had to turn it over to God. I didn’t do it out of reverence or belief, I did it out of desperation and having no other hope. In that moment and the moments that would follow in my life, I saw God active in my life. The answer or direction may not have been what I expected, but it was and always has been God’s perfect plan.
