Need to restore…..

Need to restore…..

Jun 18, 2010

I am overwhelmed. Target not achieved. The cost is always run no matter how much I can earn. The monthly installment bill for my laundry machine has come. The credit card bills also come. I also must pay my employee her salary.

Now the income (brutto) is almost US$8 every day. It is not enough to cover the cost. The business need about US$ 15 to cover the cost. 

My business is not yet earns profit. How can I survive? I need to restore. I need to calm down and pray. I need to plan again my business. I need to think. I need to give more brochures.

Like the story in the bible. The Israelites are overwhelmed. They need to calm down and seek the GOD, and finally plan again their future.

And the spirit of the Lord shall rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the Lord; And shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the Lord: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears:

No Fear

Fear???

June 17, 2010

There are many things that make me fear. I fear of this and fear of that. I fear of the future. I fear of the decision that I will make. I don’t know what would happen if I make this or that.

Today I plan to meet some one that led a large sized laundry business. I plan to associate with her company because I want to deal with a hotel. I plan this because the condition of my business now has not the ability yet.

Like the story in the Bible. The Israelites fear of their enemy and the prophet said not to fear but only GOD. I will go forward and see what GOD has planned for me and my business.

Sanctify the LORD of hosts himself; and let him be your fear, and let him be your dread. Isaiah 8:13 (KJV)

Fruitful

Are you fruitful in your life?

June 16, 2010

Two days ago, I talked to my wife and she said that she wanted me to have a great achievement in my life. I think for a long period of time, what achievement that I have reached until now and I found nothing. Yes, I have some achievements but not the great one, just the usual one.

I am now in a laundry business. I started it with a small capital (about almost US$2.000 while others more than US$20.000) and there are many big sized laundries in my city. There are so many competitors now. What should I do to make it a great laundry even there are so many competitors?

And I know that GOD also wants me to be the best in my life. If I have a business, the business will be the best. If I have a family, my family will be the best. God want me to be the best. God want me to bare “fruits, lot of fruits, to be fruitful”.

Now will I sing to my wellbeloved a song of my beloved touching his vineyard. My wellbeloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill.

Isaiah 5:1 (KJV)

For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.

Isaiah 5:7 (KJV)
