I’m not sure when you will read this blog, but I can assure you that what you’re reading reflects a very real season in my life. As I turned over in bed this morning, a thought hit me: This is like a dorm room.

The reason I said that is because my belongings are currently confined to a storage unit and what’s inside this room. The university? It’s the internet, if you will. I’m learning from authors, entrepreneurs, financial podcasts, credit experts, and webinars. This has been a season of relentless learning and growth.

The confinement is real because when my wife and I moved from Los Angeles, California, we came back to Georgia without a car. It was the right move when we were in Cali because we lived in downtown Los Angeles and didn’t need one. Every trip now is an Uber ride, costing about $40 out-of-pocket. No complaints here it’s just part of the scenario.

Some days, it can get to youthinking that your whole life is contained in one room. But the truth is, it’s not. It’s just where my body happens to be right now. My mind and imagination are firmly set on the future.

I’m not just writing goals down; I’m doing the deep work to understand:

    •    Where I’m going.

    •    What I’ll do when I get there.

    •    Who I’ll serve.

    •    What problem I’m going to solve to make it all happen.

I’m submitting all my plans to God, remembering James’ words: “If the Lord wills, we will do this or that.” Even as I plan, I’m making sure to surrender those plans to Him.

Although this season gets tough, I’ve chosen to embrace it. One day, I’ll look back and say:

    •    This is where I grew the most.

    •    This is where humility was forged.

    •    This is where gratefulness took root.

    •    This is where I learned the art of budgeting.

It all happened in a “dorm room” at my brother’s house.
