I get it’s been way too long since I posted. I went through many towns and saw many things, and Midland, SD is where I will call home after my contract is up at the end of June. I have already started rooting myself there.
I started with working out a partnership with Laurie Cox, at the Stroppel Hotel, I’m not an investor, I’m not a “worker”, I am on the board of The Besides the Healing Waters Charter for transitional housing and healing in Midland, SD. I talked with Laurie over the last couple of weeks and she understands I will be nomadic this year, she gets I will come and go, and she gets I have another business to build. She is a powerhouse of information, knowledge about 501c3’s, and she is expansive with her vision.
I prayed last year everyday I was in my truck for work. This was the blessing of this type of job. I’ll say it again, it was a prayer box, it was a prayer closet, it was where all the dreams, visions, and thoughts started and planted. It where I saw the vision of going home to take care of my mom, it’s where I saw a change for someone in my world 4 years out; which was confirmed in a huge way by the end of Jan. 2021, it’s where I processed out everything I was receiving from God. This process got me to a place of peace, happiness, and knowing what my next steps were.
Then one day there is was, the peak, at that moment, of what I would eventually do or provide, or be a part of: I eventually will have a working farm, refuge, support center for transitional or nomadic people. Men and women, abused, recovering, looking for spiritual healing, and other transitional situations. I saw it, I smelled it, I could taste the food I would provide there, I saw people on the land, tending to it, the smiles, the struggles that others need to heal from or release, the Bible classes and “churching” I would be doing with many others; including family members.
This was what I saw a year ago, this is what I pin point directed my path to, and in God’s time, God’s will, His way….I will build the knowledge, practice, and dedication to providing this one day. I will come under Laurie and Wallace’s wings and learn, be of service, live there, and immerse myself into the Stroppel Hotel Business, the Besides the Healing Waters Charter and Transitional Housing, and into the small town of Midland, South Dakota.
I have no idea where I’ll go from here, and stay tuned, for I am on a path that I can only explain as a God given path. I could have never made this life up, even if I tried.
