Well we have returned from a great visit to my Mom and Dad's. Got to spend great time with my Nephew's Mark and David and see some old friends with a trip down memory lane at a swim meet last Thursday night. Also worked to get my Mom and Dad's computer up and running and clean up some of the issues they were having. This trip was one of the things I really wanted to do with my new found free time and the trip was better than planned for sure.
Now as I return home. My wife spent many hours putting the finishing touches on our new "little" home. It is amazing that we went from a 3500 sq ft house to a small two bedroom apartment and we are finding plenty of room for our stuff. I can tell you the cleaning and maintaining of our little house is so much easier, I really like it. Jodi put that speical touch with pictures and decorations that made it comfortable. The girls are settling into their bunk beds and sharing a room pretty well, it is a big change for them. But by the laughing and giggling coming from the room at night when the lights go out it can't be all bad. Do you remember those days if you shared a room with a sibling? So now its time to start slowly thinking about whats next.
God has told me, "one day at a time". I will honor that. Yesterday Jodi and I went to Wells Fargo and set up a bunisess account for her business. She has been successful in gaining some pretty good accounts and it is time to take it to the next level. We have hired our first employee, well second if you count me, our cousin Jon to help work the cities as he begins to use his degree to gain some experience. I also spent the night getting our credit card reader set up so we can now take cards off my Ipad and speed up the payment process greatly. This is all very exciting. My heart is being lead to this and it is where I feel God wants me to put my time. We are going to build a godly business with a good part of it going back to the Kingdom for what god intends the money for. Our business is JC Wanner Athelitic Apparel and Promotions. We will follow the book "Annointed for Business" as our model. In this book Jodi and I learned that the marketplace can be the best ministry there is and that god wants to use this area to reach the lost and to prosper the kingdom. We actually taught a class on it at our church where I think we learned more from it than anyone. Jodi is a gifted salesperson, she can sell ice to and Eskimo, I bring the business and admin piece to the puzzle and mirroring up our two talents should with God's blessing take us where we need to go.
But for now going to continue enjoying the summer. Tonight I am taking my mother in law and her friends out fishing. This has been something we have been trying to do for years and I really look forward to finally making it happen and maybe it being a regular event. Hope it works better than last night when the girls and I got chased off the lake by a storm that popped up. Oh well, Hayley still caught one fish in the 20 minutes we were out.
So I can say I am beginning to settle into a grove. Next major step is finding a church to settle into. Youth group is a very important requirement. Our girls have a solid foundation in the lord, I really want them to find a youth group where God can use thier gifts and talents and to grow in their walk. I think I know where god wants me to go just waiting for that validation. Take care and make sure you are taking time to spend time in his presence, it will make a difference believe me.
