Thank you for the prayers yesterday. Carrie Marshall, Tami Friday and I traveled downstate to look into an opportunity for the growth of Scotteez Apparel & More. We did not make any final decisions but we do believe the opportunity is feasible and advantageous. There is more work to do before making any decisions or announcements. And for my customers we are not looking at moving or closing here. I do not want to create any concern regarding that. One thing I have learned recently as a follower of Jesus is we are not to ask for signs but rather guidance. Signs will be provided by His will. Well I dont believe in coincidences but I do believe He answers prayers of guidance. As we rolled to our destination there was a billboard. It simply said With Jesus all things are possible. Afterward we went for lunch at my daughter, Danielle Marshall‘s place of work and hanging on the wall was a colorful abstract painting that appeared to be nothing but an array of colors. The first thing I noticed was a white cross within it. My daughter had never noticed. Maybe she will post a picture of it for me. Call me crazy but this empowered my optimism! Anyhow, though this is not a struggle or emergency please continue to keep us in your prayers. This could be a huge step toward defeating the constant struggles of being a small business owner.

Now to get ready for some fellowship at LifeChurch StHelen. I cannot even explain the joy I feel in my heart just before church. I am anxious to learn and be challenged. If you are unable to attend church today be sure to catch the live stream. Pastor Clark will challenge your mind and heart.
