What with a busy month indeed in my walk with Jesus, I suppose it didn't reach the heights of April in matter of remarkable-ness I suppose, but May has been very good and very busy too as things starts to click and fall in place; well, most of it anyway, and some are pretty much a starting point, and I am so waiting for the months to roll by for the fruits to bear.
No doubt, I've yet to do anything in my sandwich/or pasta-in-a-box distribution small-time business; and I've yet to produce a single sample edit of the intended label (though the idea for it has 'solidify' in a way as I built ideas upon ideas on how it should look like - in my head) somehow, there was a teeny bit that reflected back that maybe I wasn't meant to do it (the design) as the only 2 times I sat down in shape to start it with streams of ideas and words swirling; the internet broke. Kinda, you know, downtime. TWICE. not yet , Snake (cue Liquid Snake's voice at the back of my mind)
But then again, there were ideas to divert off making sandwiches for a living too , as apparent as I was playing with the idea to add Pastas-in-a-Box, and even colored | flavored spreads, to even something remotely (to me) as those Breakfast-in-a-Jar thingie. hmm, Baby Oats? Bah!
On the other front, I got my second 'order' for church refreshments the week before, and this round I managed to make a teeny tiny tidy profit, and with not much of a sore to carry for days, Hallelujah!
The most important part from that day would probably be me accepting the numerous thanks from everyone, I mean, previously I was being shy about it (whenever someone thanked me for the blessing) and tried to let them know that it wasn't a blessing per se; since I do get paid for the effort, etc, it's not like I paid for everything. But I came to realize that , hey, Thanks be to God, for He has enabled and strengthened me to do this the night before for hours (minimum 5 hours + hours of planning and driving about town) and no doubt, I practically earn around RM20 that covers my gas money for the week, (ok, last week I made about RM30 or so on top of my gas money) and yes, it is way lower than what I'd somehow technically earn if I so wish to be employed for? Also, with RM150 I suppose the church saved a bit of moolah instead of buying other refreshments. right?
Should've kept it to heart of what Ps. Bernard said last month something along the lines of "..blessing of 5 Star sandwich on a 1 Star price.." right?
I've also started participating to help with the church's Young People team; in preparation for their year-end youth concert. It really dawned on me to not being choosy (of wanting to help, but only the next edition which coincides with the 20th Anniversary of first ever youth concert that I co-emceed way back in '98) and immerse and offer what little I can in the meanwhile to learn the ropes and familiarize with. Today will be my third meet with them, and I really gotta go. Pack up the laptop for a bit of design work later after YP before tonight's YA meet, (not conducive to come back and go again at night I suppose)
