COMPLETED
1. On the 4th of July I went to three parties. About noon the residents of the apartment complex where I live gathered for a cook out. It was wonderful to meet some of my new neighbors. After the cook out I went to a pool party. And that evening I had diner with a friend and saw the fireworks.
2. I have been listening to the time management audio CD named FOCUS. It has been a big help. I am starting to use the paper planner better. They advocate working from personal values to goals to weekly plans to daily plans. The CD I was listening to today is about how to coordinate the paper with palm pilot.
3. god is blessing my relationship with Glendon my assistant> She has been doing data entry. And there are many other tasks for her that you will enjoy on the future web site. Pray for God to continue to provide funds for me to pay her.
4. A few months ago I had unusual stomach aches for a few weeks. I asked myself if I was doing all that I could for my health I knew that there were nutritional supplements that could help with digestion. Also I could use supplements to help with general health. I have gotten them and been using them for a while. There have been no stomach troubles. My energy level is higher and my concentration is improved.
CURRENT
A. The data on the laptop is still in limbo. Bill has not given up nor have I pray for God to guide him to the right expert. And may the data be recovered soon.
B. I am actively shopping for the next computer. Bill and I will be going to a compute store on Thursday.
C. I am actively shopping the MiniDisc recorder. This will allow me to soon post the testimonies, interviews and Bible lessons on the web. I have narrowed it down to one of two models. May God grant wisdom is choosing the right one.
D. There were technical troubles that prevented me from getting in to work on the new web site. May those be solved soon. May God much time in the next few weeks learning how to use this new web host.
E. Mentally and emotionally it has been very rough for the last few days. I am closer than I have ever been to a launch but stuck in different ways. The frustration has been at an all time high.
UPCOMING
i. I will be talking with both of my coaches on WED 7-9. May God continue to greatly use Cathi and Jack in my life.
ii. Pray for God to grant wisdom and insight about fund raising for the short term. The biggest obstacle between me and the launch of the ministry is the input of funds. I have several ideas. But I am not sure which ones to act on or in what sequence.
iii. What has helped me the most in the past was to FOCUS on a few simple and realistic goals in the sort term. These needed to fit into the greater context. Btu to make sense of all the swirling options it helps to go after the mile stones that are just ahead. May The Holy Spirit and my coaches help me to define and accomplish such objectives.
IMAGES
It feels like I have come to the edge of the wilderness. I can see the promised land just ahead. But first I must get through this swamp with al kinds of nasty monsters. Thus I must call upon the name of the Lord. Also I need to use every tactic I learned before plus improvise new strategies.
