Hello Reader,

​

I apologize for no roundup for last week and for this newsletter coming later in the day. Last week was a bit of a drag and by the time the weekend came not only was I still working on some content, I also had a meeting that I had to go to; which by the time it ended suggested to me that the content I was producing wouldn't have been done justice if I just rushed through it. I will highlight some content in the spotlight section, but first I want to unpack the significance of the meeting I went to this past Saturday.

On Saturday August 2nd I had the pleasure of sitting down with my new pastor and or at the very least a man of wise counsel. We connected and spoke about several things, but then, right at the tail end of our conversation he said something to me that i'm still unpacking. He was telling me about how his church has grown, and then he said with respect to my story that i'm ready but i'm waiting for God's timing. I have a chapter in my book that alludes to kairos time, and the only other time I would normally think about kairos time would be in the context of some sort of content.

Kairos time isn't alway top of mind for me but when I was given the stamp of approval in terms of being ready to advance but not being in my appointed time for advancement some dots began to connect. Those dots are still connecting so I don't see the full picture yet but I recognize that there are things that i've consistently wanted and or I am consistently pained by that might be in the state they are in because of where I am with respect to God's timing for my life. Again, that's not the most satisfying answer for me, but it's what I needed, to at the very least shift my way of thinking, not just for the last five or six years, but for the last 25+ years. Sometimes you can be in the right place at the wrong time and you have to take that into consideration with respect to what you do next.

I’ve already been healed, I don’t need vindication or validation from anyone, especially if it’s not being easily offered.

When you create a critical mass reaction in your finances there will be a sense of freedom and responsibility that comes with the idea or realization that depending on how your finances are organized you may not have to work again for the rest of your life.

Find hope somewhere else.

Encouragement For Your Week

​

This week I want to encourage you to seek new direction. Everyone sets out on a journey for various reasons. The main reason a person ventures out into the world is to create a life for themselves. A new direction serves as a response to new information. One thing you shouldn't do is learn something new and then act as though you haven't. And sometimes people get hung up because they are incapable of learning something new. A new direction inherently means a change of course but that change of course doesn't necessarily mean you're changing your destination. As someone who is used to living in or near big cities I understand that if one road is crowded I can go at least two or three different ways and still get to my destination. Change fatigue is real and I don't want this information to come off as maybe you should start over again somewhere else. Maybe you should, or maybe you just need to get off the proverbial road you're currently on and get on another one that will take you where you need to go quicker and easier.

​
