What's on your mind?

I'm good, Saucy.

Just a bit nervous about general life changes right now. As explained partially in my previous post.

Praying for you brother

When you wake up to the delectable smell of pulled pork barbacoa style.

I used to play on iOS but it took too much time. I moved to June's Journey and the same holds true. You need a team to really progress. I tried it for a bit but meeting at 7am for a game made little sense. Monopoly Go was fun in a torturous sort of way. Most of the players are mad or frustrated by the lack of sharing and gross gameplay. It's really stacked against you and you'll multiples to finish (as in simultaneous games you're playing).

Merge Mansion has proven to be the best. I can pick it up anytime and it isn't demanding. And I like Golf Battle too.

The only game I really play are the sims games.

FYI...

If you're an independent contractor (Uber, Door Dash, YouTube, etc.) you should be aware of impending legal changes to your position that were introduced during the State of the Union. It would change your status from contractors to employees which may result in lower wages and layoffs.

You can learn more here. It's a Christian channel. I don't know how many fall within that group. If you do please respond and we'll hold you in prayer. God Bless.

You and @ReesePiece23 crossed my thoughts the other day during my quiet time and I prayed for you both. While I didn't know what you had in mind I asked for the Lord's provision and guidance.

This IS the time new beginnings. Things will never line up better supernaturally in your favor. The season of planting is upon is. Welcome it and step boldly into all the Lord has in store. You are a Kingdom man. There is more for you to see and accomplish. Lives to touch and share. The desires of your heart haven't been realized. God willing you're moving towards them and we'll have something to celebrate. Good luck.

I know that I have other posts to reply to, but I just want to give you a quick receipt for your prayer.

Last week, we had a round of redundancies at work - and all of our jobs were at risk. We got marshalled up to HR one by one to await our fate. Some people were laid off there and then, others, just scraped by... Then it was my turn.

I walked in, and they said that I was at the top of the list...

That is, at the top of the list for employees to KEEP. My boss went on to say that I was the best employee he has, and has offered me a substantial pay rise with a bonus next month. The HR team and the BIG boss (the boss who oversees my boss) agreed and approved his decision. My job is secure for as long as I want to have it.

I know that my job is only a stopgap while I "tee myself up" for other things, but I make a lot of money from it - well, I'll be making even more now.

So, instead of being made unemployed, I find myself entering the middle class for the first time in my life - and will be going into a travelling stint next month with a decent sum of money behind me.

Japan, here I come - it'll be nice to see you again. This time, for a plein air painting tour.

God is good. And now I understand HOW good, because it could have so easily gone the other way, and I would now be signing up to a life of chicken noodles, £150 a week, and daytime television with all travel plans put on an immediate pause.

In the UK, this is the worst time to be unemployed right now so I am beyond grateful.

I have that game on PS2. I absolutely love it! I like the counter culture career the best.

I really hate the daylight savings time. You lose an hour, and for what??

Everything gets messed up.

Congratulations! That's a great testimony and blessing. I'm glad you'll earn more and be able to travel again. He's full of surprises. Keep the faith.

After Church, I slept most of the day. I was soooo tired.

Wow, this is a lot!

Please keep my job situation in your prayers. I'm quickly running out of money and I've been looking all over for work and not finding anything I can do. I'm restricted in the type of jobs I can do so that makes the situation much more difficult.

Unbelievable!

You must daily reherse the Gospel

Friends and lovers come and go, but there's always that one special person who goes beyond the realms of friends AND lovers. She was my kindred spirit in the universe we call art; we tackled some of London's busiest streets together and always came away with a great painting each. I sold my very first paintings to one of her friends, a friend who would later mentor both of us to the point that we both began producing realistic interpretations of the world around us.

Unfortunately, this very special companionship will be disrupted; her visa is due to expire and she must head back to Taiwan - which is weird, because four or five years ago, I had a series of vivid dreams about a woman from Taiwan who would always come and find me, share a special bond with me, and then leave. I must have had the same dream six or seven times in the space of a month, back in 2019.

What makes it even weirder still, is that this companion of mine turned out to be a Christian (the real life companion). I truly believe that some sort of a prophecy has been fulfilled, it can't be anything else. My life now is DRENCHED in people just like her, it's as if I've acquired a group of spiritually charged friends.

God is speaking to me so loudly these days that His voice is deafening; I'm approaching an extremely special time in my life, there's no doubt.

It's bittersweet right now. I'm sad that she's going, but I'm proud of the people we became through meeting each other. I hope that she can enjoy the same momentum I am.

Of course, I'd rather she stayed by my side. But that's life.
