For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. (John 3:16)
After 15 years, on December 1st, my two co-founders and I sold Fantasy Postseason. It was a bittersweet moment, as so much love, time and effort were poured into it over the years. However, the time had certainly come to move on.
Unfortunately, the sale has made an already busy time of year that much crazier. The days around the sale were extremely stressful and at times overwhelming – thankfully, each day I took out time to pray about it and on some nights, I’d get woken up around 2 or 3 am in the morning – with an important tip on things that had to be added to the ever-expanding to-do list (or how they should be handled).
Thankfully things have started to calm down as the weeks have gone by. Today I even had a chance to smile as we received a follow-up email from a long-time user. In April, he wrote in to share his sorrow after hearing the news that we decided to move on. Today, he wrote back with a much happier tone after hearing the site had been sold and would continue with new ownership: “IT’S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! Congratulations and thank God. This is the best gift I’ll get for Christmas this year.”
What a powerful statement and one that certainly makes me think we did something right for 15 years. However, I hope this user and all of us discover the greatest miracle this Christmas…and that is the realization that over 2000 years ago, not only did we have a loving father in God who was willing to give us His only son, but we had a loving Savior in Jesus who was willing to leave Him behind and come suffer and die for us.
