Overcoming Obstacles & A Committed Father

January 2, 2010

[11:30am]  Father, I feel at a hard point again now with money, as it always seems to be.  There is no business to look forward to now in global.  There’s not much to look forward to in trading, except the big blessing of $700 due in later in January.  We have a vet appointment my mom set up for Marie, who is Sara and I’s cat left over from a dating relationship with Ashley in high school.  Nothing but trouble is Marie though.  We’ll probably be looking at a $300 bill on Monday which would take all of our available.

“Teach us to number our days right, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.”    -Psalm 90:12

[11:48am]  Thank You, Father, for opening my eyes.  The buying tour is in two or so weeks if it still continues on.  Charrissa usually pays me $1500 for going on the tours, which has always been such a great blessing.   =)    Thank You for this Father, and also for the favor You have given us with Clark.  =)   He liked the designs that Sara did on the DVD covers and asked for print-ready files, with one small change.  I don’t know if we’ll receive any income on this one design, but then again, in life how You’ve had it for us is that we normally volunteer first and then become partners second.  It seems that’s just what You’ve got in mind for us here, Father.  (Yes, indeed, son.)   =)  =)   =)   (The income will happen, John; you do not need to worry about it or anxiously advance, son.)   =)   thank You so much, Father.  You have always provided for us—always in the right time too.  Almost always it’s not on the schedule I’d want to see, but it has always been perfect.  You are perfect, dear Lord God.   =)

Sara is so very talented.  She has done a wonderful new design for Clark.  This was such a big gap that I had before with internet marketing work—all the design that could be done.  But now, it perfectly fills the spaces that I had open—not all of them, but a huge part of what I couldn’t do, Sara can do, and she does so well.  How great is Your blessing on me, dear Lord, that I can see every day some of that blessing in Sara, the beautiful and talented and funny wife You’ve given me.   =)

[12:24pm]  Dear Lord, I don’t want to go into this relationship like I have other decisions in the past, not asking You for Your directions and instructions. Read the rest of this entry »

[12:33pm]  The first day of the new year.  May my lips be ever praising You, dear Lord God.   =)

[1:14pm]

“Do you see a man skilled in his work?  He will serve before kings; he will not serve before obscure men.”    -Proverbs 22:29

It is so awesome, dear Lord, what You have done here!  =)    Clark Bartram called us last night and now we just talked now.  He wants us to direct his business and build out his marketing and website and products and business.  It is an incredible opportunity.  But Father, I can now see the traps—You’ve provided the experience to see where the traps lie.  Father, please direct us, please guide us.  (I will help you, John, and I will give you the answers when you seek hard after Me, son.)   =)   Yay!  Thank You, Father.  =)   (It will go well with you, son.)   =)      Thank You so very much, Father God!   =)  =)

[10:30am] (John, I do not want you at the Rock, son.) yes, Father. About New Years eve at the church… thank You, Father. =)

[10:51am] Father, I do indeed feel, not empty, but more filled by You… I don’t have a purpose right now in business it feels like, though some would love to have what we have with blogs. I wonder what we are missing… I wonder if it is just not Your right time.

I was just telling Sara about how You said before about when I finished my journal adding in, that that’s when You would give the next assignment. It’s a lot to enter in, but I haven’t worked on them at all in a few days now. Aside from blogs, there’s no other work to be done now, other than the book and the journals as You have given.

[11:25am] I don’t see how the book makes sense to work on for money, but You are much more powerful than what I think, Father, and Your plans are perfect. =) You said today was a day off. Is it okay to work on the journals, dear Lord? (It is good, John. Take Sara out for breakfast first, son.) =) Yes, Father. Thank You so much. =)

[12:37pm] thank You for this day off, dear Lord, and for bringing us out for food, here at Panera for bagels. =)

[10:55am] (It’s an off day, John.) Yes, Father. =)

So far, and we just recorded one video on it, as Sarah reminded me of doing videos, we have encouraging success so far with the leads… So far, about 50% of the leads are opting in. This means were paying about $5.40 per opt in lead. =) this encourages us to go on. =)

[12:59pm] thank You, so much, dear Lord! =)

(order another hundred, John.) =) yes, Father. Of CEM leads, which site I had just opened up…

We didn’t have enough for 100, but for 80 we didn’t, which You said to do… =)

[11:20am] Father, thank You. Thank You, dear Lord God. You have brought about a great Revelation for Sara and I late last night. We went to Leesburg twice yesterday—once earlier in the afternoon, and once after 11:00 PM last night. We found a very nice house we’d like, but then You put it on Sara’s heart to bring up Florida and how You said it was best for us.

I am so very grateful for what You’ve brought about. You’ve put it on Sara’s heart that Florida is best for us, just as You have said to me as well.

It was a breaking point for us last night, but such a good one. We found a ‘perfect’ house for us in Leesburg, but even Sara said, ‘I’d rather get an apartment in Naples for $600 then a house here for twice as much.’ That was the essence anyway. I was so incredibly happy by all these things, and still am. =) I think we’re going to Florida a still. =) =) Yay! =) Thank You so very much, Father, for these good things for us. =) (You are welcome, son, I am with you.) =)

Even yesterday, we found a friend’s house was coming out for rent, but would not work with our cats. But then also, it was in line with the timeline You gave. But then, if we can go to Florida, and that was and is Your instruction, then so much the better! =)

[10:44am] (Florida is best, John.) Yes, Father. Thank You.

[10:51am] (John, I can accomplish all of My plans with you here, son, in Virginia. There will be challenges in both places, son, but I will bring you through, John. Trust and rely on Me, son, and I will bring you through. You will be staying in Virginia, son. Now You will see more of My power, John. You will see, son.) =) =) Thank You, Father God. =)

You told me earlier, no computer today…

[11:43pm] It’s like being a voluntary prisoner in our house right now… feel nothing but trapped. Nothing but discouraged right now.

(John, there’s to be not delay with the business, son.) =) Thank You, Father. That lifts my heart. =)

December 25, 2009

[8:54pm] Your day, dear Lord!! =) And by Your death and resurrection, it’s our great day too! =)

This is just how funny You are, dear Lord God. You are amazing beyond understanding. =)

We got this letter in from a friend of ours, and just look at the dates there, and after You said what You said, dear Lord, it is just one of the funniest things that You’ve done in a while for me. =)

Thank You, Father God. You are beyond measure! =)

[3:07pm] Father, thank You for this working relationship with Jefferson, and for the income and for this new day. =)

[4:15pm] He might be able to refer us to many other people in the process of him being happy with our work. We’re going the extra mile hopefully.

Tonight we’re going to use Sara’s parents house. I’m so grateful that it’s only tonight and Lydia and my mom are coming too. =) should make it less uncomfortable. Thank You for going with us, dear Lord. =) with You, all things are bearable. =)

[8pm] We’re at Purcellville Baptist church for a candlelight service. We’re due to go back for some present opening at the Baker’s house. I am glad the car inspection is expired, with the plates rather, so we don’t have to drive much now. When in Florida, the emissions don’t matter. But
