[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.

“There, by the Ahava Canal, I proclaimed a fast, so that we might humble ourselves before our God and ask him for a safe journey for us and our children, with all our possessions. I was ashamed to ask the king for soldiers and horsemen to protect us from enemies on the road, because we had told the king, “The gracious hand of our God is on everyone who looks to him, but his great anger is against all who forsake him.”  So we fasted and petitioned our God about this, and he answered our prayer.

“On the twelfth day of the first month we set out from the Ahava Canal to go to Jerusalem. The hand of our God was on us, and he protected us from enemies and bandits along the way.  So we arrived in Jerusalem, where we rested three days.”                                                                                                         -Ezra 8:21-23, 31-32

[12:53pm]  Father, the opportunity in front of us You already know about—I cannot bring any news to You.  But we ask You blessing and Your favor with Clark and for Your instructions for how to do things.  (You have all these things, son.  You will do well, John, with this partnership, son.)  =)    thank You, Father.   =)

[1:17pm]  Should we process the business ourselves, Father?    (You certainly can, John.  It will be priceless experience for you, son.)   Yes, Father.   =)    I am certainly scared of doing it, but if it be Your will and what is best (It is the best solution, John.  It will help Clark in the way he wants, John.)  Yes, Father.   Thank You very much, Father God.  You are holy and mighty and we are so grateful to be serving You, dear Lord God.   =)

[1:42pm]  This is the email we just wrote to Clark and You had us send, Father.  =)   Thank You so very much, dear Lord God.   =)  =)   =)    So very grateful for You.   =)  =)   (Yes indeed, son.)   =)  yay!  =)  =)  =)

Thanks, Clark!   =)

The files are uploading now… both layered PSD for future edits, and PDFs for printing.  Because they’re all high-res now, the files are HUGE, so it will take some time, but they’re on the way!  =)

Sara redid a number of things on the design, subbing out low-quality images for high-quality ones.  Whoever did the initial design had a great idea for the layout and overall design, Sara just gave it a nice tune-up and sharpening.  She also switched it to CMYK (a color coding) so it would print better than the RGB it was in before (Sara’s worked in print and also sign shops before).  Should be ideal for printing now, and also cleaner for future revisions.   =)

We’re grateful for the opportunity to work together.  I guess there are a couple of ways we could easily work together, the main question now would be how you wanted to set up to process orders.  We do have a merchant account and a shopping cart, but those two things wouldn’t be that much work to set up for you if you wanted.  I do definitely want to help in the way that you want the help though, and if you want us to do as much of the work as possible, we’ll aim to do as much as possible on our end if that’s what would help the most.  =)

Are we decided on building out a monthly membership to offer alongside/in-addition-to, other products we could develop like the Spiritually Fit, for starters?   =)

[3:14pm]  Thank You so much, Father.  Thank You for helping Sara and I resolve a design problem and also a problem between us.  Thank You so very much, Father.  (Take Sara out to lunch now, John.)   yes, Father.   =)    Thank You, Father.  =)

[3:29pm]  (It’s a test, John.)   [about Tom having Clark send me some videos to edit that are for Tom’s site that he recorded with Clark.]   Thank You so much, Father.  Thank You so much for letting me know these things—things that are beyond my searching out.   (You are welcome, son.  Take Sara now, John.)   yes, Father.   =)

[5:13pm]  Thank You, Father, for the lunch that You let Sara and I get just now.  It was a good break and helped us recover emotionally from Sara getting upset this afternoon.  Thank You so much for the money to go and buy it, dear Lord, and for the blessing of Your ever-present instructions You’ve blessed us with as well, dear Lord.   =)    You are our great God!   =)   =)    We love and praise You!   =)  =)

[7:53pm]  I feel worthless…  don’t know if this is Satan’s attacks or if I am just being shown my errors in not providing for Sara and myself and not doing the work I could do, not using the talents that You have given me, Father.  (It is from Me, son, not of Lucifer, John.  There is a point and a purpose, son.  It is not easy, John, but I will be here with you.)   thank You, Father.  Thank You for being with me, especially when there is great success and especially when there is great pain.

[8:35pm]  Dear Lord, You have truly given me a comforting wife.  Today was a hard day for us both.  I wish I was asleep still, but You told me to stay up and type up all the written journal pages tonight.  There’s about 100 pages in total to type up, and probably a bit more than that.  Thank You for this, dear Lord God.  I don’t know why, but I trust in You.

[9:22pm]  I am so torn… so very torn.  I want money and success, but then there are many of the parts of the work that I don’t want to do and then there is the other side—the knowing that the money is often the very worst thing.  I just have to remember the video that I watched last night about Britney Spears, set to the Casting Crowns song to see what a disaster money was to that woman.  All that money was the worst thing that ever happened to her life.

“Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If anyone hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and eat with him, and he with Me.”   -Revelation 3:20

You made today a day off, dear Lord.  I have tried to work away like normal, straining for the money that it seems like we need.  I keep thinking about world ventures now, and about getting a job, and about all manner of other things: jealousy about Sara text messaging with an old friend, about the people we work with and the money they seem to have and the work abilities they have, and about the disaster that money can bring and how I see it have destroyed more lives than not.  Dear Lord, if only that we didn’t have the debt from the foolish decisions that I have made…

“O Lord, let Your ear be attentive to the prayer of this Your  servant and to the prayer of Your servants who delight in revering Your name.  Give Your servant success today by granting him favor in the presence of this man.  I was cupbearer to the king.”    -Nehemiah 1:11

In there anything better that we can do than to build Sponsor a Missionary and help those who need to get to the mission field to get there?

Father, why did You tell me that our business was real estate and Sponsor A Missionary?  (For very good reason, son.)

I don’t get it, Father….   I don’t get what we’re supposed to do.  What I am supposed to do before You.  do I look for a job?  Do we build out the blog business and seek after some business?

[10:45pm]  Thank You for lifting up my heart and encouraging me, dear Lord.   =)

[11:18pm]  but my heart grows heavy again and I wonder about many things, like the guys that we hired when I was working more closely with Charrissa.  She paid them $5k, they built a few pages, and nothing ever turned out.  They had really poor service, but yet they were able to charge so much and I wonder why we can’t do that with our good service.

[11:25pm]  We could have a very simple marketing plan of reaching out to about 20 website owners per day, by email and or phone, and building business relationships with many people per week.  This would be a good marketing approach perhaps, until we have enough business built up from referrals.

“Then He said to them all: ‘If anyone would come after ME, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.  For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for ME will save it.  What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, and yet lose or forfeit his very self?”    -Luke 9:23-25

[12:57am]  Thank You so much for telling me to hire someone on Elance to help contact people about our blog work.  =)   Thank You so much, dear Lord.  He wrote us over the holidays and wished us a Merry Christmas.  His name is Manish and he writes as though he has good experience.  Thank You, Father.  =)   He said in a message to us, ‘may the blessings of Our Lord Father…’  so he may be a believer too, and so much the better.   =)    I’m so grateful for Your instructions, dear Lord God.  =)

[1:19am]  Dear Lord, I’m not really sure what else to do.  I think this day has just about run its course… a hard day none-the-less.  Back to some more journal entering.  Thank You so much for these instructions, Father God.  Thank You. =)  (You are welcome, son.  I am with you and your wife, son.)  =)  =)  thank You!

[2:14am]  For now, we’d be able to hire Manish for 1 hour per day for $5 or $25 per week, which is something that we can afford to do.  I thank You so very much for this new plan, Father.  =)    This renewed confidence and hope too.

[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!   =)  =)

Father, You have done all these things.  Clark is waiting to hear back from us about a suggestion for building out these sales pages and launching these products.  I give and leave the decision in Your hands, Father.  (Watch the movie, John.)   =)    yes, Father.   =)

“If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!”

[2:29pm]  (A day for typing the journals, John.)   Yes, Father.  =)

[6:11pm]  Father, You are beyond… another conversation with Clark.  He’s looking for a business partner and is interested in working with us.   Father, You have done this and the decision is Yours alone.  We submit to You, heavenly Father.  =)

He said that he was impressed with me calling him back last night close to midnight, new years eve.  He said that Tom had always spoken highly of me and that he felt comfortable turning things over to us to build out his business.

Father, what would You have us to do, dear Lord?  (John, I would have you to humbly serve this man—My servant, Clark, and help him build his business, son.  It will go very well with you, John, and I will be with you, son.)  whew….  Almost too much for me, Father.  Do I ask for a sign, Father, do I ask for confirmation in some other way, dear Lord?  (Ask your wife, son, and she will confirm for you, John.)   =)    Yes, Father.   =)     Thank You, Father.   =)

[6:53pm]  She said yes.   =)     Sara said yes.   =)    …about working with Clark.   =)

[7:05pm]  (Yes, do the work, John.)  Yes, Father?   (Yes indeed, son.)   =)    Thank You, Father.  =)     This will help us pay off the $500 or so that we owe Aaron.  =)    thank You so much for providing in this way, dear Lord.  =)   Your plans are so perfect.

[11:07pm]  Father, thank You for this day, the first of the year, and the progress we can make in our business, now potentially partnering with Clark.  What a blessing again, Father, brought by You.  It would likely serve to give us more experience and possibly make for some good income.   =)   It’s a chance to use the talents that You’ve given me.  =)

[12:26am]  It is so much fun to work with Sara, this wonderful wife that You have given me, dear Lord.  She is such an incredible blessing to me—there is no going back.  =)   We get to serve You together, working on our different clients business, all throughout the day we get to see each other and enjoy each other and the marriage that You’ve made, dear Lord.   =)    so very grateful.  =)  =)  =)  =)  =)

[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. =)

[2:35pm] There is actually a part of me that wants us to live in Leesburg. But I know what You said, Father, that Florida was best for us. You said also that You would carry out Your plans no matter where we were. I don’t know the right way, Father, but we trust in You, dear Lord. We are Yours alone. =)

Today is a hard day for us already, Sara struggling with some things and we’re not generally excited about much now. Tom did call just a bit (go hold your wife, son.) yes, Father. =)

“I have told you these things, so that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”                                         -Jesus, John 16:33

[4:28pm] I’m feeling much more content without the global business and just with the blog business that You have given us. =)

“This is what Hezekiah did throughout Judah, doing what was good and right and faithful before the Lord his God. In everything that he undertook in the service of God’s temple and in obedience to the law and the commands, he sought his God and worked wholeheartedly. And so he prospered.” -2 Chronicles 31:2-21

The thing I think of right away after typing that in now is that which Dani said to me years ago now. She said, ‘Prosper where you’re planted.’ And right now You have planted Sara and I in the business of blog building. You have given us a healthy potential opportunity in this business, dear Lord, and I am so very grateful for these blessings that You have already given us.

I don’t know what the next step is, but surely we can build a strong and successful business with Your blessing, dear Lord. =)

“He took the carved image he had made and put it in God’s temple, of which God had said to David and to his son, Solomon, ‘In this temple and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, I will put my Name forever. I will not again make the feet of the Israelites leave the land I assigned to your forefathers, if only they will be careful to do everything I commanded them concerning all the laws, decrees and ordinances given through Moses.’ But Manasseh led Judah and the people of Jerusalem astray, so that they did more evil than the nations the Lord had destroyed before the Israelites.

“The Lord spoke to Manasseh and his people, but they paid no attention. So the Lord brought against them the army commanders of the king of Assyria, who took Manasseh prisoner, put a hook in his nose, bound him with bronze shackles and took him to Babylon. In his distress he sought the favor of the Lord his God and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers. And when he prayed to Him, the Lord was moved by his entreaty and listened to his plea; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the Lord is God.” -2 Chronicles 33:7-13

We make somewhere around $500 per sale on average. That’s 10 sales to make $5k per month in revenue. That’s very do-able. Father, it is in Your hands, and not ours. We do our side and You are the only one who can provide supernaturally. =) We fall into Your mighty hands! =) =) =)

[1:04am] So very tired… but turned this out today… a new design for our website. =) May it honor You, dear Lord, that which we say and that which we write. =) May You receive all the glory due Your Name!

[1:58am] Father, You told me to email Jefferson and ask if any of his team members might be interested in having us build blogs for them in the future. Maybe there might be something from that. =) Thank You so very much for that instruction, Father. =) (You are welcome, son. It will go well with you, John.)

Thank You so very much, Father. This has been another hard day, though we have been learning a lot about blog building, and probably in another year we’ll be literal experts at it. =) Perhaps (It is part of My plan, son.) =) …perhaps it is part of Your great plan. =)

[2:34am] (Go forward, John.) I suppose that we have just our one business right now, and that business is with the blog building and website building for people. I suppose that it will go well with us as we increase our skill, increase the number of people that we serve and seek to honor You above all, dear Lord. It is a hard thing to do, the idea of letting go of the business, but You know what You are doing, Father, and Your ways are perfect. Thank You for being with us, dear Lord God. =) =) May You, and You alone, receive all of the glory. You are the one to be praised. =) =)

Thank You for this day, dear Lord. It was another hard one, but a good one I suppose. Jefferson is happy with his site, and still helping us to learn and grow through the process. Thank You so very much for the favor You’ve provided us with him. (You are very welcome, son. It is a good thing, son.) =) =)

Goodnight, Father. =) (Goodnight, John.) =) =) =) =)

[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… =)

We’ve spent $490 so far on leads, do for 180 in total. Should help fully, Lord willing, be enough for one sale. =) in Your perfect hands, dear Lord God. =)

[1:40pm]

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. Trusting God; trust also in Me. In My Father’s house there are many rooms; if it were not so, I would have told you. I am going there to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with Me that you may also be where I am.” -John 14:1-3

[2:47pm]

“When I am afraid, I will trust and the Lord.” -David

I am afraid now, dear Lord. (offensive action, John, four as broadcasts when you get home, son.) =)

=) Tom just called us and we told him we were finished with jefferson’s blog. He said he would call Glenna and then call us if she answers. Thank You for this breakthrough too, Father! =)

Maybe we might see some more money from glen as site and get paid to finish and up. We have 180 leads as well. May You be praised and receive all the Glory. We want the money, Father God but we know we want to want You more!

What would a true leader do? Get on the phone with these leads as they come in. (Voice broadcasting is the right thing for now, son. You’ll see, John.) =) yes, Father. =)

[3:42pm] Jefferson likes the site except for the header, which we are fixing now. Father, I am scared, but we will trust in You.

I feel like now I’m getting the clearer feeling that I’m not supposed to succeed in business—or lease the home based business game… =( I don’t feel a leader, I don’t want to try and sell anyone… I don’t really want the voice broadcast or the leads to actually work.

I am afraid of success and of leading. (It is, John, a very large part of it, son.) Is as part of becoming a nobody, dear Lord? Thank You, Father, for bringing this about.

[4:03pm] (request a brief fund of the leads, John.) ……..yes, Father. Thank You, Father.

[4:31pm] (You won’t be prospecting, John.) (That’s right, son, you also want to be back to the business again, John.) Yes, Father. (It is My will for you, son.) Yes, Father. Elevation at Your call alone.

……… A little down, but also very relieved… I guess I’m not supposed to be like Tom ward Jefferson. May it be for Your Glory, Father.

[6pm] am not really sure what to do.……

“But in their distress they turned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and sought Him, and He was found by them.” -1 Chronicles 15:4

“Yet when you relied on the Lord, He delivered them into Your hand. For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.” -1 Chronicles 16:8-9

[6:43pm] bad humor, but funny, dear Lord. =) comfortable with trading, but not with home business. Funny enough, Father. =) another of the plan’s cleared out. Thank You for the clearing and the humbling, Father. =) [small smile]

[7:47pm] Father, thank You for such a wonderfully supportive wife. =) (she is a blessing for You, John.) =) You are our greatest blessing, dear Lord, especially at times like these when youth brought me low. Trading has come to mind though. =) and on one of the last posted notes You gave the responsibility list, the business was not there… Journal notes, blog building, two other things I don’t remember.

[8:35pm] not really sure what to do next… Not sure it all. Start posting journals perhaps.

[11:45pm] Sara is doing such a wonderful job of designing the Sponsor A Missionary site button for missionaries signups.

Father, I don’t know what I’m supposed to do right now… Only that we can have missionaries start signing up soon for their own pages—a very exciting development for Sponsor A Missionary. =) thank You for the idea, Father. =) (You are welcome, son. It will go very well with you, John.) =) Thank You, Father God. =)

[12:03pm] Father, thank You for this new day. =) You’ve sent me to work on sponsor a missionary dove org first thing this morning. Thank You for that, Father God. =) (You’re welcome, son.) =) (It will go well with you, son.) =) yes, Father. =) Otherwise, our plans are to work on jefferson’s site today.

[12:51pm]

“Give thanks to the Lord, call on His name; make known among the nations what He has done.” -1 Chronicles 16:8

[2:09pm] Father, thank You. =) we’ve now got a new sponsor missionary website now. =) Yay! Thank You so very much, dear Lord! =) (It will go well with you, son.) =) hooray! =)

[5:11pm] (Reload the site, John.) Yes, Father. =)

[7:07pm]

“The people rejoice to at the willing response of their leaders, for they had given freely and wholeheartedly to the Lord. David the king also rejoice greatly.”                              -1 Chronicles 29:9

“But who am I, and who are my people, the we should be able to give so generously as this? Everything comes from You, and we have given You only what comes from Your hand.” -1 Chronicles 29:14

[7:33pm] (John, hear Me clearly, son: start with purchasing the leads tonight, son. I will be with you, John, and I will make your business prosperous; do not doubt, son.) =) thank You so very much, Father God. (You are welcome, son. I am pleased with you, John.) =) Yay! Blessed beyond measure! =)

[9:15pm] (Leads first, John.) =) Yes, Father. =) Thank You so much, Father. =)

Father, thank You so very much with the progress we’ve made here with the Sponsor A Missionary website. Here is what we have designed so far with Your help. =)

[9:32pm] (Go to cutting edgeleads.com, John.) =) Yes, Father. =) –

(That’s the first test, John, 100 leads, son.) =) Yes, Father. $270. Thank You, Father. The we have to wait until the aweber is fixed to go forward, since no one can see the sales page are present.

The vision is to go on and then to allow missionaries to sign up and receive their own blogs/webpages here that will be extensions to SponsorAMissionary.org/missionaryname, for example. =) We thank You so very much for this development, Father God. =) May You be praised and receive all the glory! =)

[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! =)

“The real blessings are on the other side, and to last forever.” -RBC head pastor

(lead now, John.) =) please give me the strength, Father. (I do, son, day by day, John.) =) =)

[12:07pm] What if this year was not about getting wealthy, but in only building Sponsor A Missionary? How powerful a potential of…

[3:47pm] going to a redskins football game today/tonight with Aaron and Derek… Extra ticket.

“Praise the Lord, O my soul; all my in most being, praise His holy name. Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all His benefits.” -Psalm 103:1-2

[4:05pm] Which is best, Father? (To stay home, John.) =) yay! Thank You, Father! (Watch a movie with Sara, John, make love to her and work on the SAM website, son.) =)

[4:22pm] Thank You so much, Father, for the way You’ve worked in our lives. =) Thank You so much, dear Lord God. =)

You told me today to start leading, and rather then to ask Sarah a for leaving, to lead and say it. Thank You for helping me become a leader, Father. =)

[6:51pm] (Work on both tonight, son; you can stay up late tonight, son. It will go well with you, son.) =) Yay!! =)

One of the things I wonder about is after the next two years. He said the Florida was two years, Father, and that the business will be successful because You will give the success. I am so grateful for Your words, dear Lord. Thank You, Father. (You are welcome, son.) (It will go well with you, John, and the business will be a success. I will be with you, son.)
