Why is cement so beautiful when it is really very dirty?
Dreaming big can be dirty! As we've worked on opening our smoked meat, BBQ restaurant, we needed a place to "house" our smokers. We live in Utah and it snows here. The week they were to pour the cement pad, it snowed a heavy and very wet 6" of snow! The ground took 3 weeks to dry with a lot of tarps and prayers.
Dreaming big is all I think about! This dream has been overwhelming for me as I am supporting my husband's biggest dream!
We have had another major week of absolute blessings. We were contacted by @ministersofsmoke and they offered to come to our grand opening. We don't have any idea how this guy from Dallas found us in little ole South Jordan, Utah. We also have been contacted by another company to do collaborations to bring people together for a beautiful cause. Also, this week we were able to purchase a box truck to haul our wood for the smokers from Las Vegas to our restaurant at a much cheaper rate.
My husband, near tears, said, "Why do people have faith is us?" It has caused a lot of reflection from both of us. Anyone can smoke meat. Anyone can do what we are doing. Finding what makes you happy, what your dream is, this is a gift!
President Dallin H. Oaks shared what a father told his son, “All that I have I desire to give you—not only my wealth, but also my position and standing among men. That which I have I can easily give you, but that which I am you must obtain for yourself. You will qualify for your inheritance by learning what I have learned and by living as I have lived. I will give you the laws and principles by which I have acquired my wisdom and stature. Follow my example, mastering as I have mastered, and you will become as I am, and all that I have will be yours.”
Our children may want to take over this restaurant when we retire but to instill in them that our legacy is what Kenny J's BBQ is all about. They way we make people feel, the way we serve others, this is what we hope to reflect from this "BIG DREAM".
