FY?
Praying for you Tracker and Sharkey. Sometimes the path is difficult and in those times I always wonder if that it is a message to change directions. If it is God's will then it will happen. Are there other paths you might pursue?

To some degree, yes. Looking at all paths. Sometimes God directs to a new path; sometimes to mold us and change us. Ultimately, for those that are Christ followers, it's about character, not circumstances, being conformed to the image of Christ.
Other than consulting, which has its own challenges, I've looked at possibly starting a variety of businesses. The red tape on a local level is ridiculous, if you stay legal. The Feds don't have an exclusive on stupidity. Our county requires food vendors provide nutritional info for each dish they serve. Looking at a food truck, it could cost $2-3K to just deal with that bs.
It's grunt wages, but I get to use power tools and play with purdy woods. We're cautiously talking about long-term possibilities and splitting it into two divisions.
Got past HR. Have a second telephone interview with the boss man on Friday. Prayers appreciated.
Thanks Tracker. You are correct. I will cast down fear (worries) of tomorrow, and the past, and rejoice and be glad in today, that God has made.Been doing woodworking at min wage. Nice to be doing something productive, but can't keep doing this; need to focus on putting together income activities that are at least more profitable long-term. Looking at Airbnb, photography, bbq catering, woodworking, it consulting/support as an independent on my own. Working on a biz plan and prioritizing which to focus on as it would be a fool's errand to try and do them all.
Still looking at the job/info tech angle, but not really optimistic it will result in something.
I've got food, clothing, and a house. Barring any super major monetary crisis, we'll be ok. God blessed me with a wise woman that made sure we socked it away for rainy days. God is big. Everything I read in His Word is His timing is about growing our faith, glorifying His name and conforming our character, not making us comfortable. So, doing my best to take it a day at a time and walk in faith, as each day has enough troubles of its own.
