We did some announcing of our plans at church today. It seems most people are excited for us. I am getting nervous about the prospect of trying something so unknown in that it may not make any money at all. However I do believe that even if it didn't the "vision quest" part of the experience would be worth it by itself. Also it is the kind of thing that even if it doesn't make a lot of money right away it might make a little money for a long time.
I have been drafting my resignation letter over and over in my head. I find it an enjoyable thing to think about. My biggest concern is that I will lose my job before I get the house sold. I don't know what houses are selling for nor how fast they are selling in town. I have an idea in that there are a couple of houses on our street that have been for sale for a while but I think they are over priced.
Natalyn came by and wanted to write her testimony. This is what I got from her:
My testimony is I am happy my family and I’m helping my persons get better. When my mother puts me to bed. Its started. 1
Back to my journal … I intend to price the house so that it will sell not be for sale. I remember what a stress case I was having apartments for sale. I can’t think our own house wouldn’t be a lot worse. It seems logical that we should have money from the house sufficient to last a year and maybe even two however I haven’t priced things out and I know we are discussing things the Disney Land and the Atlanta aquarium. I know our concept is really good by it is going to be really difficult not to live an entire year every day for the first couple of weeks of the trip. I don’t need to finish a book or the a computer program every time I sit down to work however I do need to finish things in order to make money. The ability to finish a started project really is the thrust of what we are doing. I have never had my own prime time to pursue a project.
As I am thinking about this it is not all the way insane to think about writing CAD scripts or utilities as projects in as much as they are something I know and have some specialized expertise in. The trouble with them is that it is hard to have something general enough and still useful.
The theme that has been coming to me lately as I am thinking about our venture is that life wasn’t intended to be easy and that just because everything doesn’t come together perfectly it does not mean that you are not following your calling correctly. Even though it is very scary I do feel guided in my decision and I feel like it is right. I just need to have the strength and the courage to follow the calling.
