I did not take the teaching
position at the Art Institute. I decided instead that I
would go to the streets if I had to. I have no family to
take care of. I have no obligations to which I am financially
tied. I want to stay true to my call. If I have to go to
the street, I can still sketch 'clouds. Put them in crosses.'
I can sell my car. I want to stay with God on this.
My faith is weak, it has
been obvious as I have watched my savings slip below the
$200. mark and I have panicked with anxiety. The resolve
to go to the streets, if that is necessary, has given me
some mental solace, though my stomach (nerves) is revealing
unease at the prospect of adjusting to a new lifestyle.
Man ! I am 42 years old!! What does God say to Job? Gird
your loins and prepare to take it like a man...? ahh, here
it is... Job 38:3 (NASB)"Now gird up your loins like
a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!"
Best I prepare to see what
God has for me. Best I be willing to follow.

This is amazing. I have not
looked for work, or told anyone that I needed a job. Today,
completely unsolicited, I was called by a company I did
work for, over a year and a half ago. They though I had
been unavailable due to teaching, but called anyway. They
have a painting job for me to work on - a rush job - I have
only a week to get it done. The job requires that I paint
two stage show walls which are part of a sales force presentation
for Compaq Computers in Las Vegas. The walls are 23 feet
tall by 70 feet wide each and will bring in $20,000 by the
end of next week. This is an amazing turn of events, and
will keep me in the Project for another few months !
Amazing Grace? Indeed!
Indeed.
