God's guidance through "impossible" deadlines
Originally appeared on spirituality.com
Have you ever faced an impending disaster you were partly responsible for? That happened to me several years ago when, as part of my job as a commercial real estate agent, I leased office space to a national company in a brand new building. Construction wasn’t finished when the lease was signed, but the owners and the construction firm assured the tenant and me that they would meet the completion deadline for occupancy.
The work seemed to be progressing well. The new tenant had arranged to fly in a team of experts to hook up office equipment, telephones, and an audio-visual system the day before the scheduled move-in. This special team had been booked weeks in advance and was scheduled to move on to a different job in two days.
As this team was arriving, I went to the site to look at the new offices. To my dismay, I discovered that critical construction supplies had not yet arrived. The work was not complete and the local fire marshal was prohibiting occupancy of the offices.
