A little while ago, my sister-in-law came out and asked, "Eric, what did you do with all my metal bowls?" I wash the dishes most of the time around here, and whenever I wash something, I simply put it in the dish drainer. She told me, with quite a bit of frustration in her voice, "I don't have any metal bowls." Before we moved in, she had given us one metal bowl. I went and got that bowl from our box and handed it to her, but she said, "I don't want that one. I want the metal bowls I had." I honestly told her, "I haven't seen them." She then said that I had rearranged her cabinets. I explained that I had put all the bowls together because they were scattered throughout the cabinet, and I was trying to make more room and keep things organized. Again, I told her, "I'm sorry, but I haven't seen the bowls." She simply replied, "Okay," and walked away. Situations like this can be frustrating. Sometimes people assume we're responsible for something when we aren't. In those moments, all we can do is tell the truth, stay calm, and refuse to let accusations pull us into an argument. I've learned that not every misunderstanding needs a fight. Sometimes the best thing you can do is speak the truth, keep your peace, and trust God to work things out. "Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God." Matthew 5:9

I hope everyone is doing well. As you have probably noticed, I haven't been posting as much lately. I've been spending a lot of time in prayer and reflection, helping my wife when she needs me, ministering to people, and creating video content, mainly for YouTube. I also post on Facebook and TikTok, but creating content is very time consuming. It takes time to record, edit, upload videos, and take care of my personal responsibilities. I do my best to post here, but it has been difficult. I'm also going through a season where God is teaching me to truly depend on Him. I've never been in a situation where I've had to live by faith without having a job. I've worked two jobs, and sometimes even three, for most of my life. Going from that to where I am now has been a real struggle. I do have a financial supporter, and I'm very thankful for the one I have. Also for example, there are 66 people in this community, and only a small number seem to read or respond to what I post. Sometimes it feels like I'm posting to myself. I understand that everyone is busy, and I know I don't always have time to read everyone's posts either. I'm simply sharing how I've been feeling. Right now, my focus has been on creating content that reaches people with the Gospel. I would love to grow this Skool community, but I haven't been able to get many people from YouTube or Facebook to join, no matter how many times I share the link. Even on YouTube, I have over 12,000 subscribers, but sometimes only five people click the Like button after watching. It makes me wonder if all the work I'm putting in is in vain. I love sharing the message of Jesus. That's why I do what I do. Sometimes discouragement tries to creep in when it feels like no one is watching or reading what I post. But I know my calling is to keep planting seeds, whether I see the harvest right away or not. So I'm asking for your prayers as I continue to build what God has placed on my heart and reach people with the Gospel. Thank you to everyone who has encouraged me, prayed for me, and supported this ministry. It truly means more than you know.
