The Side of the Cereal Box

Yes, I’m still going. And, originally, I had been looking at October - not for any particular reason, per se, except that it just… felt right. But recently (yeah, like since MAY), I’ve been facing opposition (more to the timing than the actual going). The opposition isn’t usually outright; it’s more of a “Oh, hm…” or an “Are you sure?” kind of thing.

So I’ve been floundering. God keeps saying the same thing, and I keep asking as though I didn’t hear Him the first time (or second, or third, or…). And, no, God isn’t saying, “OCTOBER!” But He’s still saying, “Go.” And He’s not saying, “Go later.”

So I’m back to looking for a job and a place to live. The later is the most discouraging. Everything is more than I can afford. SUBSTANTIALLY more. I thought about asking for some help from a lady I have contacted in Hollywood (Jeri Penley). But so far, I’ve only thought about it.

But in the midst of all this shakiness and wavering when considering the “practical” side of what’s to come, I find myself with an unshakable confidence in the “big picture” that God has laid out. It is a movement of His hand that will not be stopped; it is coming. And it’s exciting! Especially since we, as the Church, are invited to take part in it!
