I think on a very old hymn...

Whatever my lot,
Thou hast taught me to say,
"It is well, it is well, it is well with my soul"

It's one of my favorite hymns. Much much more than "Your an overcomer" garbage that compromises so much of contemporary music today.

Being God's slave I don't get to always choose when, where, or what I do. I just go where He makes the path. It's not torturous...God does things for my benefit even if I don't understand or know why. I just "Trust and obey, there's no other way to be happy in Jesus but to trust and obey".
Not exactly popular words these days...but they are true nonetheless.

God isn't Santa, and I'm just a slave of his. It's better to be a street sweeper's apprentice helper in Heaven than a ruler in Hell.

I don't know what the future holds...but God does...so I'll rely upon his judgment. I may be bored out of my head in my quasi-retired life. But again that isn't exactly my choice either.

Psalm 34:19 plus 2 Corinthians 4:8-9~ Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers us
from them all. In every way we're troubled but not crushed, frustrated but not in despair, persecuted but not abandoned,
struck down but not destroyed.

We are looking hard at acquiring an existing coffee shop and an existing bakery. Gonna be a miracle to get both, revamp, and make it all work. But who knows...it might all work out.

God works in mysterious ways. If He is in it, it will work out beautifully. (-:

Yeah...I know. Lots of wheels turning and spinning. We were looking to leave the state when this came up.
If it doesn't work out we likely will. No need to stay. We aren't unhappy here...just out of family. No real need to stay here anymore unless God has other plans.

One week later... any news on this front?

And if you did leave the state, would you be taking all the equipment with you, or... ?

I am 78 (for a few more weeks) and a serious Christian. I was born a Jew but was healed and saved in 1977.

I am 75. I pretty much do as I wish, the Church having lost it shine long ago. I love God and Jesus Christ but don't allow Pastors to bully me.
