all right hey I have a confession that I need to make and I just wanted to make a
quick little video and just tell you a little bit about what's going on and
kind of where some things are going this year basically the gist of it is that I
have been holding things back and not sharing things with you that I should
have been as I've been on this long sabbatical which I will tell you more
about in just a minute I've just began to feel really strongly that I need to
share publicly some of the miraculous stuff that God has done in our financial
lives and and really just what we've witnessed over the last 10 years as we
have endeavored to manage our money as well as we can in our family and really
just trust God in a lot of different areas for a lot of different things and
he's just done some really awesome things that honestly I just haven't
shared a lot of them because to be quite honest they're just hard to believe and
the world I came from it would just be really hard for me to believe them so I
it's just been difficult for me to share them and I'm feeling more and more
convicted that that is something that I need to do and so I am going to be
sharing some of that stuff over the next few weeks I am typically more of a
private person and by nature I'm just a bit more of an introvert or a lot of an
introvert some people who know me would say and that's just what's kind of
funny about this whole thing you know doing this website and you know doing
videos like this for you and and doing all these things publicly because I
wouldn't have picked that honestly if I would have picked my own path that would
have been a career where I could hide in an office and just kind of be by myself
and me an accountant or something I don't know or you know web developer
like that's what I naturally would have leaned into but you know I'm just
following orders and doing what I'm supposed to do and it's just interesting
how that those things just kind of unfold and so the reason I'm telling you
this is because I get really encouraged by hearing the testimonies and the
stories of other people that they had and the things that God has done in
their lives I have felt I just honestly have felt
like I've buried some of this miraculous stuff that God has done and I know that
it will really help and encourage and inspire a lot of people and that's part
of why I just feel like I got to get this stuff out a little bit this year to
keep this video for turning into like a 60-minute long video I'm not gonna go
into detail about all this stuff now but over the next few weeks I'll be sharing
it and as far as a sabbatical that just finished up a lot of you have been
asking about it and so I am going to write about how I did it like the
logistics and more importantly the why behind it all so that'll be coming in
the next couple weeks and this is the second time in my life that I've done an
extended sabbatical like six months or more and the first time was nothing
short of like absolutely life-changing my life was completely different over
the next few years like the way just everything transformed
and so I'll write more about that and anyway so this one I'm expecting nothing
less than that as well over the next few years so I'm really really excited I got
lots of great ideas for articles I think are gonna help you out a lot we have a
project that we're gonna be rolling out later this year that yeah absolutely
without a shadow of a doubt has the power to transform your financial life
it did for me I've seen do it for so many other people and so I'm really
excited to kind of dive into that but that'll be a little later this year
we'll talk about that all in all 2018 it's gonna be a really good year to be a
subscriber so I appreciate your continued support and your encouragement
I love getting emails from you guys I love you know anytime you respond
it just makes me feel like I'm not talking to you know talking to a wall in a
little room like I'm in right now so so that's all I have for now
I pray blessing on you and yours over the year of 2018 and I hope you have a
great day and we'll chat again soon
