Looking to Jesus Christ Again

I trust the Lord Jesus Christ to guide and provide again.

This is just another test of my faith in Him.

He is been faithful in taking care of me for decades.

He promised to never leave me nor forsake me.

He is always my Good Shepherd and knows how to guide me.

Two weeks ago I had no idea I would be here in these conditions.

The last week has been an adventure.

The next weeks will be more of an adventure too.

I have been praying and requesting many prayers.

God has been with me in super intimate ways.

When I felt anxiety I turned to Him in prayer and that dissolved.

The central challenge has been housing.

I spent 1 night in a homeless shelter.

I spent 2 nights in a motel.

The other 5 nights were in missionary housing.

I had this missionary housing reserved until Monday noon June 30.

Then I talked with the manager and got an extension to July 3

Then I will owe 450 dollars for the 10 days.

I have already raised 200 dollars toward that 400 dollars.

Please pray earnestly that all the money will arrive on time.

My plan had been to move to a garage apartment on Monday June 30.

I had a good lead on that but that door has closed.

The owner is going out of town until mid-September.

That was going to be rent in exchange for services and utilities.

Surely there are other possibilities like that in the Dallas area.

Besides garage apartments there other kinds of options.

Those options include a trailer or lake house a family is not using.

I am seeking a place to stay for the next 30 to 90 days.

During that time I will build an online crowd funding platform.

Also I will prepare for the road trips described previously in Phase Two and Three.

Those cities are College Station, Plano, Arlington Texas, OK City and Colorado Springs.

After I have gone there and visited leaders I expect God to lead me to one of those.

Or God may lead me to relocate to India, Philippines or Australia.

I talked with my brother at length last night.

He works half the week at home.

The other half he goes into the office.

His employer offers cloud based computer services to huge corporations.

They have employees and clients all over the globe.

One the assignments my brother does is to coordinate of the weekly conference calls.

There are many players that need different kinds of information before and after the call.

This kind of global communication is happening every day all around the world.

So on one level where I locate is important due to who I will see face-to-face.

On another level it is not important due to the proven teleconferencing tools.

Besides talking to others together in a group there are many other tools.

I shared links recently to online services I can use for a modest fee.

They will allow sharing files, collaborating, forums, wikis and much more.

NEXT

I replied to the owner of the garage apartment that is leaving town.

I requested referrals to other garage apartments that are open.

I am asking you if you know of any in the DFW Metroplex.

Do you know of anyone with a trailer or lake house I could rent inexpensively?

I can conduct online research and I ask your special prayers for God to guide that.

I have made some progress in planning the crowd funding platform.

My best notes are on my desktop computer and it is in storage.

Pray for me to connect with that key and get a ride to pick it up soon.

I need to connect with my ATM card that was sent in the mail.

That will allow me to quickly get funds from donations sent to Pay Pal.

UPDATE

That garage apartment option did not work out.

I have extended my stay at the missionary housing until July 3.

May Jesus Christ lead me to suitable housing for the next 30 to 90 days.

May God to guide my thoughts, words and deeds.

May the crowd funding platform go public soon.

May God connect me with many generous givers.

PRAYER

May I make time daily to be still and wait on You.

May I meditate on Your Word day and night.

Teach me Lord how to best claim and stand on the precious promises of Your Word.

Shalom
