[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.  =)  =)  =)  =)  =)
