When we began this dream to be prepared to serve a mission, we figured on Bonnie's income and mine put together. That amount would rid us of all Bowling Alley debt. As we proceed toward June next year, once in a while we find something else that stems from the BA days. But we feel that we are beyond any further surprises coming for the Bowling Alley. But who knows?
Since we are on a financial path to realize our dream of being ready to serve a mission, I have found another dream. In the last few days I have been blogging about this and that concerning dreams. Are they good? Are they bad? If we have a dream that is a long distance in the future and there is even doubt about it ever being filled, should we still dream it, plan for it and work toward it?
I speak of none other than this new dream I have. As we put in our papers, rather than just be out of debt totally, and having someone else support us, I want to begin dreaming on another financial dream beyond the one just to be out of debt. I dream about having $50,000 in the bank beyond our debt so we can support ourselves. I present that to the world (the small one that reads this blog) based upon the scriptures and belief I have that "There is nothing to difficult for the Lord." The D and C states that there is enough and to spare (speaking of money) and the BOM states that if we have a hope in Christ, if we desire riches for good, then we shall have them.
So, knowing that Father can bless us in that manner also, I want to solidify my dream to have that amount saved to go on a mission. I have a little more than 8 months to realize that dream. I offer my talents, my abilities, and my heart to my Father to use as He sees fit. So we shall see what becomes of that dream.
Elder Holland says to work toward it, and thus I shall.
