As a master planner, I think in blueprints and phases.

You start with a concept.

You test the numbers.

You adjust for reality.

You phase the build so the whole project doesn’t collapse.

Life works the same way.

There was a time when I had a very clear blueprint for my life, my business, my land, and my legacy. Then zoning issues, lawsuits, money, timing—and my own human mistakes—hit that blueprint hard.

For a long time, I believed happiness meant getting back to the original plan.

Now I understand something different:

Sometimes God doesn’t restore the old blueprint.

Sometimes He sits you down and says,

“I will still honor the promise…but we’re redrawing the picture.”

That feels like a setback, even punishment, at first.

But often, it’s protection and correction.

What looks like a detour is usually a revised master plan.
