Jesus knew exactly what He was doing when He sent two disciples ahead to find a colt. He gave specific, even strange, instructions—go to the village, untie a young donkey no one’s ever ridden, and bring it to Me. If anyone questions you, tell them, “The Lord has need of it.” Did Jesus just steal? 
No miracles. No thunder. Just quiet obedience. And yet, that simple moment helped fulfill a prophetic mission.
I spend a lot of time thinking about what’s next, evaluating what I’ve done, sometimes spiraling in the process. And often, I miss what God wants most from me in the moment—my presence.
Meanwhile, Shelly has this uncanny ability to live right here, right now. It’s a gift. And the more I think about it, the more I wonder if that is part of what God is trying to teach me through her amazing example.
What if the greatest mission of our lives isn’t the businesses we build or the platforms we steward—but the foundation we lay for our kids?
What if the primary call on our lives is to set the stage for their calling? To give them the roots we may have never had, the covering we always longed for, and the presence we often fail to offer to ourselves?
And what if, in doing so, that is the mission?
I carry this same weight in business. With dozens of employees, contractors and clients, my walk with God isn’t just about me. If I’m aligned with Him, they’re protected, empowered, and blessed by extension. If I’m not… they might still feel the impact—but not the kind I want to be responsible for.
It all circles back to this:
Obedience, presence, and trust.
That’s what Jesus modeled when He sent the disciples for the colt. That’s what I’m learning to practice—how to let go of the outcome, listen for the next step, and trust that if I show up in alignment, the impact will ripple beyond what I can imagine.
My role may not always look epic. It might look like showing up in the living room with my kids, staying present with Shelly, leading with integrity when no one’s watching, or simply pausing to be still.
But if the Lord has need of it—then it matters. And that’s enough.
