On my key chain is a broken key. It is symbolic to me. When I had gotten an office for my business the first key I was given broke on the first day. I took that as a sign that things might not go well. But undaunted I gave it my best shot. This was a challenge, and one of my biggest fears. How would I handle a business loss? How could I pay for everything when I was making nothing? I had a solid business plan that the people at the bank loaning money where certainly willing to borrow me what I needed, just based on my ability to organize my plan. Unfortunately, that is all I did, borrow money from the bank. How is this like the quote. I could have stopped prior to getting the office. I could have slowed down and listened to that ever still small voice that was warning me that this was not going to go well. I had the keys but I didn’t use them correctly. That key would be recognizing the warnings. The key broke because I didn’t use it in the lock the right way. This lead to sorrow on my part. I mourned my business loss. It wasn’t like the key was the only time I had been warned. I was warned before I found the office. I was warned just based on my small customer base. Many times I was warned. I had the key. I didn’t listen to the warnings. I could have been safe from the debt that I find myself in. I could have been safe from mourning my business losses. I didn’t listen to the warnings and I should have. How many times was it repeated, many!! Finally, I closed it all down and moved on. Now the broken key represents the ability to make a fresh start. The ability to continue on and find another way. If this was a sin on my part repentance would have been part of the process, but I also would have made a fresh start. Broken keys equals second chances.
