Yesterday, I believe I shared that I had a new dream. One that would require many miracles to accomplish. I am certainly not saying that miracles do not happen, in fact they happen often, almost every day if we looked for them. Anyway, as I said yesterday, I have a new goal, a new dream to have $50,000 in my bank when we are ready to go on a mission. That is in 257 days.
One friend of mine shared with me a few years ago that he was a witness that if Father wants to bless us, He can. He shared that within six months he went from totally broke, ready to file bankruptcy to having $75,000 in his bank with a couple of houses, etc. He bore a strong testimony that there is nothing too hard for the Lord. If He agrees with the dream I have chosen to pursue, there is nothing to get in the way of it.
Well, as I said, I set this goal to have the money to support myself on a mission and not have to depend upon someone else. So within the last two days, three things have "happened." Miracles? You judge.
ONE: I was reminded of an investment that I have that we have sort of forgotten about. Those things often do not happen, but this one could mature about the time we will be ready to leave. I witnessed a neighbor in a previous ward bear witness that his stock matured right before he and his wife left on his mission. It certainly can happen to us.
TWO: My sister told me of another possibility of being trained, and work as a counselor for those with ADD syndrome. It is being done with others and she is going to direct me how to at least pursue the possibility.
THREE: I was talked to by a fellow high priest on Sunday and he said he was thinking of working with me on a project he had. I knew nothing about that, but again, I will pursue it.
These could just be a confirmation that I am on the right track, or they could be dead ends. Either way, I still have that goal to have $50,000 in my bank before we go. We shall see what becomes of these three possibilities, or any other ones that come my way. Why not dream big? Why not set a goal to have sufficient to pay for our own mission without depending upon anyone else?
It totally depends upon Father's tender mercies and what happens in the next 257 days.
