Bumps Along the Path

VIDEO

I failed to get the last video online today by noon like I had hoped.

My accountability partner has been very busy so we will meet at 445 today.

I will have it online by then.

PHONE

My cell phone bill is due tomorrow.

10 dollars was needed and 7 dollars was contributed.

There is just 3 more dollars needed.

That is the money needed beyond what I have in my Pay Pal account right now.

Please pray for God to make that provision soon.

SHELTER

I talked with the clerk at the homeless shelter.

He forgot to talk with his supervisor about my account.

The supervisor can pull the records.

It will show how much I have paid and how long I have been there.

That will reflect if I still have nights already paid.

I think I am paid until Tuesday or Wednesday.

But the current record says only until Monday.

Pray for the truth to be revealed clearly.

Pray for God to provide more money for next week.

WATER

It has been very hot and I have not been able to afford bottled water or Gatorade like at first.

Pray for God to provide funds for that too.

EXTROVERT

This morning I realized another big reason why I have taken so long to raise funds.

All my life I have been content to remain behind the scenes.

I have been a silent observer.

I have hung out in libraries.

I have had customer service jobs and failed at sales jobs.

I can deal with people who come to me with problems.

I dislike going to strangers and pitching an item sell.

I have operated the video camera and TV camera in church services.

I have rarely been on the platform and held the microphone.

This is the hyper introvert becoming more of an extrovert.

The pressure of money and housing is forcing me to confront these matters.

The times I did present brown bag seminars on topics I researched I enjoyed that.

What is in my mind and heart are literally many dozens of lessons.

But those Christian lessons assume I have a platform and an audience.

The last week has helped me to sketch out the many short videos I will make soon.

PLATFORM

The pressure is on me to do what it takes to just launch the crowd funding site.

It will not be super-duper amazing.

But it will be an important step forward.

It will be a critical step toward gaining better cash flow.

I will need to overcome internal resistance during the next few days.

Please pray for courage and strength.

Shalom
