I hit the ground running Saturday afternoon and had meetings every single day and night I was there until I left the following Saturday afternoon. And every single meeting was amazing. Really. (If you <a href=\"http:\/\/instagram.com\/amy_c_gross\" target=\"_blank\">follow me on Instagram<\/a>, you got a taste of my adventures. Pretty amazing&#8211; right?)<\/p>\n<p>My mind was blown. I got so much great insight and advice&#8230; and tons of encouragement. We are definitely\u00a0on to something with <a href=\"http:\/\/wine4.me\" target=\"_blank\">Wine4.Me<\/a>!!<\/p>\n<p>My go, go, go week (two nights I was up until after 4 a.m. and then ready for meetings a few hours later) has taken a bit of a toll, though. I think adrenaline carried me through so much and now, I&#8217;m one tired mama.<\/p>\n<p>I loved coming across this verse this morning:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.&#8221;<br \/>\n<strong>&#8211;Isaiah 40:31<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Not only did God have my back and hook me up with so many amazing people in NYC, He&#8217;s got it now and always. I just need to remember to ask for strength and then listen. His response might be to rest, to read, to meditate or to plow through.. but I won&#8217;t know unless I ask Him. And listen.<\/p>\n<p>Today I&#8217;m going to do my best to be still and listen for a bit.<\/p>\n<p>Are you feeling weary? If so, wanna join in on the asking and listening?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week I had an absolutely whirlwind\u00a0week of meetings in Manhattan.
