Comparing Sowing with Harvest (Results)
Maybe you’ve been putting in time, and investing of yourself to build an online business for a number of years, and it still doesn’t seem to be paying off. For me it’s going on seven years. This morning upon reading Psalm 126:5-6 I made a list of the things I’ve been sowing;
- ezines and blogs to attract new friends
- three web domains of my own and some for others (with affiliate links)
- lots of time into email friendships and mentoring
- long evenings using the above skills for missions
- long evenings entering genealogy data and creating reports
So what kind of harvest am I getting, if any?
- A new friend or two every week it seems!
- occasional affiliate commission cheques
- growing, fullfilling friendships
- donating valuable work to the missions, eg. WTM, GA, etc.
- some genealogy sales
And now, I have a prospect of a transcription job next year! It comes out of my genealogy site where I have pages offering to do translation work from the old German handwriting known as Gothic Script. Truly, when we sow a lot of seed, we are bound to have some plants come up and bear produce!
This produce isn’t in the freezer yet, but I’m beginning to sing songs of joy
as I consider my present harvest, and the ones to come!
Take heart! Sow plenty of good seeds and you WILL get a harvest!
