Hello ALL! Today's PROOF comes a continuation of the last two days! Today we went and looked at the potential first LIFE Center! A friend with construction skills came and found all that needs to be done to get it up and running. He is putting together a package of costs and such. The young man who is my first client that starts his new job tomorrow came and saw that he could be the first live in manager of the facility, if he continue to work a solid recovery program. That gave him a big smile and a ton of hope! He then contacted a friend in Kansas who has sober living houses and we will be having a conference call for info on how he got funded! Then at the meeting tonight a young man who is in business for himself and has a lot of real estate background and just happens to be my friend's son, stayed after and asked what I am doing professionally, and I shared all that has been happening with the book and the LIFE Center. He shared that he has investor friends that look for opportunities like this. He also shared ideas on how to get a facility below cost and get a loan above the selling price to get all you need to furnish and fix up the facility and by the time the mortgage is due the first time; we will have clients in place that will be paying monthly which will cover the mortgage! All of this happened after the meeting; during which I asked God, to myself of course, if he would show me a way to make all of this happen! Bam he showed a bunch of possibilities! Like I have said the last two days, I ask for what I need in the moment and God supplies it in the moment, as long as it is accordance with his will for me! Apparently, the last five years of school, then the sober living idea coming to me during a school assignment and then the writing of the book that came from a suggestion from a wonderful woman; is all his will for me and the only thing I had to do was believe and keep walking forward, doing the footwork, so that I might run into the perfect timing of his will for me! Stay dedicated to his vision for you and when the time is right, the answer(s) will come! God Bless!

Hello ALL! Today's PROOF is obvious and awesome! So I took in my first sober living client and he has been here 13 days and has yet to find a job! Also, I wanted to add a second one by the end of the month! Neither of these things were happening so rather than do the stress and worry thing, I did what I have been sharing with all of you! I asked God to help that young man find a job and please send a second client if I am on the correct track with providing affordable sober living! Well, I was waiting in line at Starbucks and I posted on Facebook that I had another room available! I then went to pick up that young man from a failed attempt to donate blood and as God would have it he answered both prayers in the 30 minutes between when I asked and when we got back to the house. We walked in the house and he got a call that he was hired for a position and they want to start him on Thursday! Then I got a flourish of private Facebook messages of people wanting to move into that room. I took them in first come first serve order and the first one was someone that I sponsored a couple of years ago. I am familiar with him and he knows what is expected and he is moving in Friday! Like I shared yesterday, ask in the moment for what you need and if it is in accordance with his will for you, it will happen! Today I asked, and it happened! That tells me I am on the correct path! To top it off I have six people who want a place and as God would have it, I have an appointment to walk through a potential full blown LIFE Center! I can't say tonight that it will happen but I am excited and encouraged by God for helping me see that I am doing what he would have me do; and it DOES NOT get any BETTER than that! Stay Tuned and God Bless you ALL!
Today's PROOF comes in the way of prayer and petition! When I was young and raised catholic I knew the prayers in mass and mainly the Lord's Prayer which really encapsulates everything we need on a daily basis. Then after I went to the darkside and came out the other end, I was taught to pray only for knowledge of his will for me and the power or strength to carry it out! I have heard people say throughout the years that this prayer is all you need! I beg to differ! You see I may be shown what God's will is and he will give me the power to carry it out but what if I don't know how to do it! That is where prayer in the moment comes in! Let's say that I am in school and God's will for me on a particulare day is to write a paper on a specific topic that I have no knowledge of, and as a result, fear kicks in and I get overwhelmed! Now I need four prayers. I started with knowledge of his will for me and then I need to ask that he take away my fear and then I ask that he bring me peace and finally I ask for direction on how to write the paper and that he speak through my words. I barely escaped High school and when I went back to school I used these prayers every time I had an assignment. The result, I was on the dean's list every semester and graduated my Master's program with highest honors! Then I wrote this book that I am trying to promote and it seems that folks like it a lot. I wrote and edited it over 2.2 years and had theses same fears and feelings of being underwater a lot, but, I said these prayers as I sat down each time to write and then each time to edit and boom a book! The gist of all this, just ask and you shall receive! Ask in the moment for exactly what you need and God will provide it in that exact moment. I know this because he does this for me all of the time. Now I am sure I am not more special than anyone reading this and so I know he will do it for you! I know this because I have been asking in the moment for what I need for 20 years and over time I would see it come too fruition and my faith would grow each time a little more and now I expect that it will be answered as long as it is in accordance with what he would want for me. So yes ask for the knowledge of his will and the power to carry it out and then ask that he help you along the way to carry it out! God Bless!
