Hopefully soon - maybe in about 2-3 months?

Meantime, I wish you all a very happy Easter next weekend.

Blessings & Thanks,

P.S. MyPowerMall is really doing well for me, even when I’m not working hard at promoting it. If you invest some time you could do even better! If you’ve been meaning to have a good look at it, do so soon! MyPowerMall!

My business start up is still eating up a lot of time, and the tension of trying to keep up with previous commitments, as well as spend time getting computers set up for the courses I plan to offer is wearing some days.

Just like a baby learning to walk, we have to allow time to get stable feet under us. We have patience with a toddler - guess we need to show that kind of grace to one another too, don’t we?

It was a disappointment. The analogy in the video was not even clear, but they implied that it was all about goal-setting. Well, I appreciate the value of goal-setting and try to practice it, but I don’t think that’s the ultimate secret to success.

So I’ve done a little thinking.

As a Christian we are not to have other gods (this can be anything we think has power to help us) besides God Himself. The true success He promises us lies in trusting Him, and living by His principles. It has been when I’m in utter submission to God’s will and ways, that I’ve had my greatest successes.

So then, there is no point in chasing these ’secrets’ that others purport to offer for a price. All the success advice we need is accessible to us for free in the Bible. You probably have one already too.

To build our faith muscles we just need to spend time reading it and discovering promises to inspire faith and forward-thinking.

As Jesus said to His disciples, these gem-truths are hidden in little parables and stories, so that those who should not defame them cannot find them. With humility and a teachable heart willing to obey however, we can mine these great truths and enjoy successes that will last forever.

Secondly, we all should be taking daily vitamins. The pity short proverbs in the book of Proverbs can be spiritual vitamins for us. Try reading one chapter a day for a month. Match the chapter number to the date. Next month, start over with the first chapter. You need to take these proverb-vitamins for a few months to notice the effect they will have on you.

On Sunday I got a lovely white cat given to me (meant to be a mouser), who is becoming quite the loving and entertaining companion. I’ve got two mice in my traps! Yesterday I was invited out to lunch and got a good support check and a bit of extra, and learned that more has come in for my missionary support from a new source - I’ll get that money today, and a check that seemed to be lost on it’s way to me arrived in the mail this morning!

It’s like suddenly the sun has come up on my life.

A lesson I’m learning from my cat, Snowflake, is to be more direct and bold when asking my superior for love and food. I think I’ve been too shy to ask sometimes.
