For years I have
told others that I have been following Jesus by faith daily.
That was my
reality and has become more dramatic during recent weeks.
By the grace
of God I have had a place to sleep each night for the last month.
Where I stayed
was revealed as my life unfolded.
I have
stayed for as long as 10 nights at missionary housing.
At this
minute, as I write this, I do not have the funds for housing tonight.
I hope that by
enrolling prayers God will guide me in right actions today.
I want to
stay at the homeless shelter for a few more nights.
I need to
check in a pay 10 dollars per night by 800 PM tonight.
Hopefully I will
arrive and pay before that deadline.
Last night three
short videos were finally published online.
I had
expected to have those and others online 3 weeks ago.
There had
been logistical, technical and emotional obstacles.
I call that
playlist of 3 videos Broke the Ice with These.
On my mind
maps I have prioritized lists of a few dozen more videos I plan to publish
online.
It will take
hours to tell the whole story effectively.
That put me
back to one of my ongoing challenges.
How can I
keep it simple?
What needs
to be told in the first place.
Then
providentially I came on an email in my inbox this morning.
I had
subscribed to their updates years ago.
I had
forgotten about this organization.
The bottom
line is they help people like me start businesses and nonprofits.
They have
recently put online lots of short videos to give general guidance.
Those
instructions are exactly what I need today.
In essence
they have found what works is to lead with an expression of your passion.
Then they
give guidelines for how to enroll support based on that.
So that is
my homework for today.
That is what
will be used on the crowd funding platform.
They even
teach how to leverage that funding option.
Meanwhile I ask
for your prayers.
May God
guide my thoughts, words and deeds.
I need to
both raise money for tonight and to
Based on the
fund raising goal of 173 dollars I set before 83 dollars remain.
That would
pay for 3 more nights at the shelter.
I can pay
for the storage of my things and have a little margin.
May the Lord
connect me with generous donors and give me favor with them.
Shalom
