I am so grateful for you Lord. =) Thank you for such a great opportunity. I delight in you. =)
“Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings.” 1 Peter 5:8-9
What should I do? What do you want me to do? Pioneers as the mission group that I’ve most connected with so far. Dear Lord, which I do right now? Dear lord, thank you for sending me to St. Louis to Dan Kennedy’s event. How amazing you are. Please tell me bring you honor in my work, help me get ready for serving you in the field. I depend on you, dear lord. I know that I cannot do anything of significance but through you. I live to serve you.
What if I wrote a sales letter that offered salvation? Offer Jesus… =) how would people take it? It might be a fun project regardless…

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith – and this not from yourselves, it is the Gift of God – not by works, so that no one can boast.” Ephesians 2:8-9
There’s a lot about where I am right now but I don’t understand. I don’t understand where I should really focus my time, nor do I even really have much of a plan. But I know I am called to trust you. I am called to persist. I’m called to follow you. Dear Lord, what should I be doing right now? (Just trusting me.) =) Yes, father.
Continuous patience… continued patience. Continued patience. I wonder what I’m supposed to do with my time – and my to go on mission trips? Do I try to run a business to get funding? Do I just take these classes right now?
What if, instead of contacting everyone, I simply focused on those of my friends who would/might be willing to say, sponsor $250 through $500 per month? Who would they be? Ro, Mom’s friend the trader, Dole, Jeff, Ray Edwards, David Hancock, Dani Johnson, Rosemary, Mary Scott, Ray Perry.
Or there something else that maybe provides revenue? Like affiliate management maybe or real estate…

Well, I figure I noticed the church, watching over the kids, wants to be a full time missionary, she’s from Bolivia where her dad has a church, and she also has a boyfriend. I will continue on my way, but girls/women sure to catch my attention. Lord willing, one day, I’ll find a good wife who wants to help missionaries with me. =) until then, I am only yours Lord. =)
“For all men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall, but the word of the Lord stands forever.” -1 Peter 1:24-25
Tomorrow, I aim to start collecting donations. The plan is to call those who are most likely to say yes, including Joel, Roe, David, Aaron, Mark Wood hour, and maybe mom too. =)
When I have $1000 per month and donations, that should be enough to send in the McKinney’s to India; not for airfare, at least for living expenses.
Thank you, Lord, for giving me such good friends. Thank you for blessing me in this way. Thank you for giving me a hope with Sponsor A Missionary. Thank you for giving me this direction while I’m young. Thank you for all you’ve done for me. =) I feel so blessed.

Thank you for giving me these classes to take. =) Please instruct me (I want you to stay home) on going or not going on the trip to Mexico. Thank you father. I’ll conserve the money in preparation for what’s to come.
Is going to pick seminar necessary for Sponsor A Missionary to grow, Lord? No. Is AM2 a requirement? No. Do you want me to leave? (Yes. I don’t want your mind on the contest, but rather on the work I give you to do.) =) Thank you, father. ( I did not call you to business, John.)
Wow, kind of a shock…
“Dear Lord, I worship you can lift up my praise to you, my creator and sustainer. Thank you for showing me the things that bind me on this earth. Open my eyes. Help me to resist the things I should resist. Please help me to experience total freedom in you.”

Blessed be the name of the Lord! =) thank you father! Thank you for you. =)
I am grateful for my mom and sister. I am grateful for you, Lord. I am grateful for you Jesus that you died for my sins that I would be saved. I am grateful that I feel I don’t have forever or even a whole lifetime to do your will. I’m grateful that you guide me every step of the way.

I think it’s hilarious how I wanted a guitar and I went over to Aaron’s last night and he gave me a guitar to let me borrow. And what’s even funnier is that I before didn’t even like the guitar very much at all. God, it seems as though you were working something out. =)

“Speak to one another with psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. Sing and make music in your heart to the Lord, always giving thanks to God the father for everything, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ.” -Ephesians 5:19-20
I guess the question for me is, if I had the opportunity to lead 100 people to a personal relationship with you Lord, what that means more to me than anything else? =) it would be the biggest thrill of my life. =)

Good lord, my sister is badly failing to classes – how do I help? What should I do? What about helping her? (Motivational speeches won’t help—roll up your sleeves to help.)

Dear Lord, I delight in you. =) Please give me the faith for this day. Give me my daily bread. Thank you father. Thank you for putting me in touch with Gary. It might help with my first mission trip. =)
My life is not my life; it does not belong to me. I am a slave to the Lord Jesus Christ. =) I am here to do your will, dear Lord: to put your will ahead of my own. Read the rest of this entry »

Dear Lord, today I reach toward heaven and ask you, and depend on you, to be the source of victory in my work place and my life. May your banner waved over my work and life so that you might receive glory. I know that you bring love and joy into my life, and I am a better and richer person because of it. Help me to share your love and life with others. I love you. In Jesus name, amen. From churchgrowth.org

I’m starting my liberty University classes today, though I are restarted and half completed my Bible one of four project. =) I amend Bible and theology. It looks as though today, in about four hours, I will finish all the Bible 104′s week one assignments. =)

Thank you for blessing my work. Thank you for giving me the money so I could give it to Heather. Please feed my faith so (go and give more – what will coast you something?) I can give more. What will cost me something? $60 would really cost me something. (Okay, give that.) =) Okay. =) (Double it.) Okay, I’ll trust. =)

If I had to start another business and make $1 million, I would start a service business, one that could provide services for other marketers… but do I want this? No, not really. I know what it takes in effort to get their or at least I have a little idea. It will only take $40,000 more to get me out of debt. This I could make from the trading list perhaps over the two years.
I rejoice in the Lord and place my full faith and trust in him. =)
Dear Lord, I am going to trust you today. I know you can see all the plans and I’ll trust and love you.
“I desire to do your will, oh my God; your law is within my heart.” Psalm 40:8
How can I raise money for Sponsor A Missionary? Call people one by one, set up fund-raising calls… how can I engage others in a bigger vision – in a big vision? I’m pretty sure I could get to $1000 a month by calling my friends.
