No worries my friend. You weren’t short today. I know yours and Laura’s heart and you both have only the best intent. It’s hard to live in ‘less than’ land whether professionally or personally. It requires caring but not too much  – a balance that it difficult 100% of the time but necessary to meet people right where they are.
God gives each one of us special gifts, but each gift comes with its own burden. Yours is big! But so is your heart.
I will absolutely pray for you and for Laura. The closer we are to God the more we are able to discern the shifting sands that come before a great movement. God’s race is a marathon and for that you need ‘hupomone’ and lots of it.

I will pray to your holy Father that he would bestow on you an enormous amount of Hupome on you so that you can constantly keep Him in sight. He cares for you beyond expression and I know, as His son, you will continue to do great things for His glory.

Heavenly Father, holy is your name. You son John comes before you seeking your will and your shelter. Place a hedge of protection around your son. Call on his angles to form a heavenly fortress around him from what is seen and unseen. Continue to offer him blessing and direction and joy as he looks for You in everything he does. Bless and protect Laura and let him find solace in You and in the godly woman you’ve given to him as a helper.
In His name,
Amen
Warm Regards,

Hey Amy,
Thanks for everything today. I really appreciate who you are.
I apologize if I were anything but living in my awesomeness. I felt short today.
Have been getting visitations by the wrong camp at night – messing with my sleep and peace.
Yesterday, I fought a stomach thing all day. That is the wrong kind of miracle but equally as large because I dont get sick at all.
Something is happening in the spirit that I dont have understanding for. But, I can sense and feel it.
Please pray for us, if you get the nudge.
Thanks so much.
Laura will be mostly working on this project from here out. I will still participate but in a more limited role. I think that the gang will like her writing style better, and the need for strategic stuff has passed into the need to get it out.
coolio?
Peace and favor,
John
