“Faith and Bravery.”
We do not have to do much in life without exercising our faith and bravery. How So? When we wake up in the morning or in the middle of the night, we call on our faith especially if we anticipate doing a new thing or solving a problem.
If we are in search of a skilled person who helped us before when we needed them, we move forward in faith. We need them now; and perhaps we cannot locate them. Giving up is not an option to faith. Our faith assures us to step out bravely with what information and trust we have to do our best detective work and find our needed specialized person.
I needed the service of my IT computer person who set up revfrieda.com. It’s like he was hiding: Not answering his phone nor his website messages. My go-to tech person was nowhere to be found. I could feel inside myself his life must have shifted in some way. There were hints—his phone and website messages were full and went unanswered from people who reached out to him.
I would not give up. Faith in me did not stop believing there was a way to connect with my tech guy. Then an idea hit me, “Go over to his home and request his help, guidance or a referral of some tech person he would recommend.”
However, some energy in me said “Am I being to forward going to his home?” The answer within kept coming up ‘no you are not intruding, you are bravely seeking your great tech wiz who can easily solve your website problems.’ Hence, I announced to my husband, “I have his address, let’s go to his home.” This took courage. I moved forward calmly with love in my heart–“I need this tech person.”
It all worked out better than I expected. When we arrived at his home luckily his spouse was home. She and I chatted until my tech guy came home from a job he recently acquired. I was delighted to see him and he was happy to see me as if he missed his tech jobs from people like me. We had history. He set up my original web page. I so appreciative, he took great care in fixing my website problems, while he was happy to help me. He added new features and I again was able to create and write in my ministry website.
It took gumption and inner guidance to go to his home. I did not want to encroach. So I changed my intention: “I’m not intruding, I’m seeking out a talented person who may be happy to see me and straighten out the website he originally set up for me.” It felt like that too. He seemed fulfilled to solve the problems and improve my website. He knew I was happy with his work and appreciated his technology talent.
When we ask for guidance, continue in receptivity and do the next thing we are inclined to do, we bravely move forward with faith and sureness as we follow our God-given internal guidance system and unstoppable sincerity of purpose.
