Coffee with Leah

Some days begin with a plan.

And some days are unraveled before the first cup of coffee is finished.

Running a business teaches you quickly that interruptions are not occasional—they’re constant. A machine breaks. A bill is due. A child needs you. The weather shifts. A decision has to be made right now. And suddenly the day you thought you had is gone.

It’s easy to feel like you’re failing at focus or discipline.

But Scripture tells a different story.

“The steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord, and He delights in their way.” — Psalm 37:23

Ordered doesn’t always mean predictable.

Sometimes it means redirected.

All throughout the Bible, God works through interruptions. Moses is interrupted by a burning bush. David is interrupted while tending sheep. Mary’s entire life is interrupted by an angel. None of them were off track—they were being invited deeper into obedience.

When life interrupts our plans, it doesn’t mean God has stepped away. Often, it means He’s stepping in.

Running a business while raising a family and trying to walk faithfully with God can feel like trying to build while the ground is still shifting beneath you. There isn’t always time to pause and figure everything out. You’re making decisions in real time, trusting God in the middle instead of waiting for clarity at the end.

And that kind of faith matters.

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5

Some seasons don’t come with understanding. They come with trust.

The interruptions aren’t proof that you’re doing too much. They’re often proof that you’re being trusted with much. Stewardship doesn’t always look calm—it looks faithful.

Jesus Himself was constantly interrupted. People stopped Him. Needed Him. Called out to Him. And He never treated those moments as distractions. He treated them as ministry.

Maybe the interruptions in your life aren’t in the way of God’s plan.

Maybe they are the plan.

“Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9

If today felt scattered, heavy, or unfinished—God still sees your faithfulness. He sees the unseen work. He sees the obedience in the middle of the mess.

And He is still writing the story, even on the days that don’t make sense yet.
