One of my sons became my first Patreon supporter the other day. On my end, it is a way to see how the Patreon system works with real people... there is so much to learn about all the online connections and how to reach your goals with them.
In questions of Faith, and how GOD works in the middle of all our problems and desires, it is still a one day at a time plan, the only reality we can do.
I didn't get to my prayer journals today... I don't think. Sometimes that happens... I get to them as soon as I can. Prayers are not always an immediate topic. I try to make a note of the time and date when I enter a late prayer, so I know it was a long day and busy.
I just shared (today) on Toby Mac's regular weekly Facebook post for audience prayer needs about how my journals have changed my life, and what they can mean to other Christians. I hope others will try it. I added my prayer needs at the bottom.
Prayer has always been a hard topic to deal with. There are a lot of different view on it... and we all want GOD to give us what we pray for. When He doesn't... it creates a theology problem.
I was busy with food today... I got to go to the grocery store, then had to decide what to do with what I bought. I started keeping track of how many times I go to the store for food. I want to go weekly, to certain stores throughout the month. My food budget is government food benefits. I have been trying to decide the best way to shop, store, and eat food within this very tight budget.
Time just gets away from us.
I have problems I am working to overcome.
The battle between what I WANT to do and what I actually get done seems like a constant war. Progress gets made, but in very tiny steps.
Working on CHRISTMAS is taking over my days, sometimes my nights. I have been working on how to keep track of what I do, and deadlines for things. I can only do my part. GOD has to do His part. What the results are reflect His Plan and Purpose for this time and place.
We all create the future... our choices, our actions, our opposition, our problems, our supporters, our goals, our failures, our faith.... it all leads to the bigger future.
I think my efforts to make paper mache items will be worth the effort. I am making them thick, and looking for my sanding paper supplies. Once they are smooth, I will head into a primer layer then figure out some kind of design. I am trying a "vase" and a bowl shape... plus some bracelet options. I think smooth will be the critical issue with bracelets. Then design.
My son has been sending me photos in emails. Today they were like a blog on how to refurbish a wheelbarrow. Inspired me to get better at my blogging.
So, for today, that is about it.
Sign up with my Patreon page, if you can. Only $5. That is the goal.
You can do more if you want to, but the goal for 2020 is ONE MILLION supporters at the $5 level. Think about it. Thanks.
In Christ,
