Yep. It’s my birthday. [cue music] Along with that came one of the best compliments, a birthday card from someone whom most would call a client. Joe and I have worked together for a bit over a year and one of the things that I love about our relationship is that I see him as more than just a client. Even though I’m not technically on staff or part of the leadership team, he, and the entire staff, treat me like one.

You may not see the birthday card as a compliment, but I really do. I’ve said before that because I value the ministries I work with, because I truly want to be more than a vendor, that the ultimate sign that I’m seen as a part of the ministry is when I am invited to the staff Christmas party. It hasn’t happened yet…but today that birthday card is darn close.

It may seem silly to you, maybe even trite … but you see, what I do is really about relationships, it’s about people.
