It is sure interesting to me how the Lord works with us. I am constantly trying to be dedicated to the work I do 40 plus hours each week. I am good at what I do, and that is providing for us a slow way of getting out of debt. What a blessing. I enjoy what I do, for it is an opportunity of meeting and getting to know people from all over the world. I believe I was sent there as a means to work toward our mission.
Since creating a new goal to have money in the bank for when we leave on our mission, I have commented that I have to pursue every opportunity that is presented to me. I mean, as I stated a few days ago, plagiarizing what is said in the Book of Mormon, "by small things are great things brought to pass," I feel I have to check everything out. Who's to know if one of those small opportunities that are placed in front of me is the one thing that will turn into a great thing?
So I have to pursue everything. If Father gives me a small thing to pursue that may result in our $50,000 and I don't check it out, He will question my dedication to realizing this dream, right? Will He continue to try and help me? Or will He decide that I am not earnest and give up on me?
Since I have started over 60 businesses, I have much experience in failing, and a little in succeeding. But I need to use that experience in what I daily do. I also spend a few minutes each day pondering what possible "little things" that I should pursue. Father has eight months to help us realize that dream. He can do it all in short order, so I am trying to practice patience, knowing that even little things can turn into blessings rapidly and with little time.
I was asked why I am doing this blog. I have to reconsider that. I feel it is a good thing to pause every day and consider if we are progressing daily toward our goal of serving a mission or two. I also feel it good to pause and record thoughts, ideas, and where I am each day. Still thinking of it? Of course, but this blog helps me recommit every day to the end result coming in 238 days.
Those few who read it, and comment on it, I thank you for that which is another things that also keeps me going, keeps me writing every day, and keeps this goal in my mind vibrant and alive. It also gives me a moment to review the day, the last few days and record thoughts, frustrations and even any progress, or lessons I am learning.
I am learning many, for the period of our life living where we do, working where we do, is all combining to prepare us for what is coming. Thanks for reading and responding, keeping me active in this goal to record every day. LOTS OF GOALS, right?
