I just read another one of my favorite scriptures in Alma 26:12. This is when the four sons of Mosiah met up with Alma. Ammon starts to praise God, the work everyone has done, and feel great joy. His brother Aaron starts to criticize him and he replies, "Yeah, I know that I am nothing, as to my strength I am weak, ....for in His strength I can do all things..."
I can do all things! Does that mean that I can earn $50,000 in eight months? I know I can. I just don't know how. I have many possibilities, and they are all just small deals. I have to keep my mind attuned to listen for Father can direct me where to go and what to do to realize that dream.
I pursued the idea about getting someone to help find mortgages, and that one, thus far, is sort of failing. I will keep trying in that avenue and hopefully I can be successful there. There are four people interested in representing our mortgage company. But they don't seem too motivated.
I have a brother in the ward contact me and tell me he may have something for me. We have not talked, but that will come later. I keep thinking that I need to find another job that will provide an added income. When I have time, I will check into that.
My full time job often takes first position and I do not have the time to pursue anything else. Again, Father knows that, knows our dream, and could easily help us realize that dream. But He could also decide that I have to work 24 hours each day to earn anything near that amount.
As each day goes by, it is refreshing to recall Elder Holland's comments in conference about needing missionaries. It is exciting to try to imagine the day in June when we receive our call. Every time I hear, or sing "Called to Serve" I get this big lump in my throat and even start to tear up. I can't wait to serve.
