Raoul’s Two Cents: January 13, 2023
Biblical Counseling
Thanks to all who shared their comments and prayers to my cry for help last week. You guys are amazing.
Wherever and whenever I do decide to go for my ministry, I hope to be a blessing to all that I meet. So I’ve started to re-enroll to my Biblical counseling classes. Since this is a refresher and I don’t have to do the assignments anymore, I’m taking 3 classes a week. Those classes are true blessings. If you are interested, these are zoom classes that start at 6:30 pm PST.

You don’t have to be perfect to enroll. You just have to have a willing heart to learn. In fact, we are all fellow human beings (warts and all) that are here to help each other through this obstacle course called life.
Don’t fear your critics. A wise man said: “Even if you hear a bad story about me, understand, there was a time I was good to those people too, but they won’t tell you that part.”
I just finished one of the classes. I’m exhausted. I see I have just passed my midnight deadline.
May God bless you this weekend. TGIF people!

Hi Raoul.
Thanks for sharing from your heart. You have some interesting options as you consider a move.
What does your wife think /feel about the options?
You have grandchildren . You might be the only Grandpa or perhaps the one who shows care and listens. I grew up without grandparents and there were gaps in my life because of it.
I believe the Bible teaches that we are not to retire but change our focus as get older. Investing in the younger generations is important. So is providing jobs for others.
How is your health?
Can you move somewhere on a 5 year plan?
I will pray for you to know Gods opinion about this.
Blessings.

It seems like DC is the best option.
To your health and wealth,

Hi Raoul,
I hope you are getting closer to the decision you feel you need to make about moving. I often make a list of all of the plus and minus things related to each decision and add on what is the worst thing that could happen if I do it. Decision making is not easy, but it separates leaders from followers and while it is sometimes costly (no one is perfect), sometimes it works out better than we anticipated. I often favor change despite occasional disappointments in life.
Blessings to you and your wife.
