“The RoseBouquet”

On Saturday afternoon I had a meeting with members from the Board of another small ministry, and as a result have another client to fit into my busy schedule. It turned out to be a stimulating and interesting meeting, and I think we all came away enthused with the prospects.

They can hardly afford to pay their new director, but the treasurer assured me that they would do their best to pay for my services. That is heartening too.

Besides that someone is sending me a translation job.

Last week I became convinced that I need to ask in bold faith for better computers for that office so I can begin to offer my short courses (described last week). Turning old clunkers into working computers that go online and don’t have all kind of technical hiccups is very time-consuming. But I do feel encouraged that my goals and plans are worthy. I just need to hang in there and wait for computers to come. Either as gifts or as I can afford them.

It WILL all come together. I know that! A dear friend phoned on Thursday and we shared stories, and concluded that when we exhibit real faith we get our prayers answered. When we are in pity party mode, that doesn’t seem to happen so easily.

I’m also going to start calling contractors to come have a look at the parts of the renovations the inspector’s report they can do. (Another good reason to only be at the office in the mornings for a while).

Are you feeling overwhelmed too? Let me pluck the one violin string I know best; throw yourself and your problems into the arms of Jesus and let Him carry you through this. You will make it!
