Work, work, work!

Life has become work, home, cleaning, church, and sleeping. Labor takes the majority of my time each week.

Life Lately

I work four times a week, 9 hours a day, plus 3 hours traveling. That is 48 hours, without counting my hours, to prepare for work and other inconveniences. Is this the way life needs to be? I don't have the desire to work like that till the day I die. There is a desire burning in me that the Lord has something better for me, something different. The work He wants me to do requires a lot of faith and trust that He will provide for the vision He gave me.

Vision

The Lord wanted me to launch this blog, my YouTube channel, and a postcard business. I launched this blog and YouTube channel with the hope that the Lord is the one who gave it to me, He would send me a lot of viewers and subscribers for both of them, but that is still the case 3 years later. I launched my blog in 2020 and YouTube in 2019. I've tried many times by being consistent, having no fruit, getting discouraged, and still feeling this is what I want you to do. Some days, I am still trying to figure out what to write, which is why I only write for a short time.

It's about me

I know the Lord has an excellent plan for my plans, but is my heart and my focus correct? I know I'm doing this because the Lord wants me to, but I also do it because it will provide me with a better life than I have now. It is not that my life is terrible; it's just that it's not what I see myself doing for the rest of my life. It's ok. I like and enjoy it, but I still have this nudge that I don't belong there. It can be that the Lord created me to work like a slave like that for the rest of my life. I have plans I want to accomplish, but with what I am making right now, some goals will never be achieved. This job is a blessing I prayed for, and I got it. I got where he wanted me to be, and I wanted to be ready whenever he told me to move.

When is it time?

I am happy with my job because God showed his faithfulness by showing me that he could do what I couldn't do on my own. He has the right timing, the right place, and the right people. Even though it is not, I've only asked what he wanted to give me. Life is only work, but I am learning to use my free time ( mostly on trains) by doing what I can: writing articles, taking pictures, drawing, etc. I can use that time to be as productive as possible because I get home and don't want to do anything when I get home. I focus on it a day at a time. Today I've written this, and tomorrow I'll proofread it; I can also make the canvas for the article.

Trusting the Lord

He gave me a vision, and I need to trust it while doing my part in it. Using my time as effectively as possible is a skill that I will need when my blog, YouTube, and future business start yielding results. It is now in the unknown. I need to keep pushing and trying and have faith in my dreams.

Be blessed, and stay blessed!
