Balls of Steel & a Little Bit of Second Hand Stubborn Faith with an inch of resilience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This morning I was sitting here talking to my best and only true and honest friend, wishing him a happy 65th birthday, and not only in his career over 40 years as mentor but just in his being of a person. While we were on the call, he actually went onto my site and had a look. He told me he\u2019s supportive of what I\u2019m doing just by sending me a whatsapp correcting me on a spelling mistake. Man, that meant the world to me! (That is love that is support).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So there I am \u2014 on my cheap Hisense phone, chatting away, but at the same time editing and publishing this mornings inner piece within me as I Am Job. And as I\u2019m looking at this little phone in my hand, something hit me hard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This cheap phone in my hand that switches off as and when it wants, freezes as and when it wants and is only 8\/9 months old has way more computing power than the computer that took men to the Moon safely and brought them back safely on the first trip in the 60’s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Let that sink in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Apollo Guidance Computer \u2014 the \u201cbrain\u201d of that spaceship \u2014 had only about 76 KB of memory. My basic Hisense phone laughs at that number. And yet, with that tiny amount of power, those astronauts landed on the Moon, walked around, and came home safe to live and tell the story for decades afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They didn\u2019t need the latest and greatest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They just needed something that worked\u2026 and balls of steel to use it, and a reminder of a little bit of faith has worked for others from before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s exactly what I\u2019m learning right now with this blog, a week ago I was still building an impressive website and its taking time, and its new tricks and vocabulary for an old dog at my age to learn and it can be frustrating and everything costs money I don’t have but I will get there someday but on this past miserable lonely Sunday this beautiful blog post site was born with 34 followers already and counting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t need fancy equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t need to reinvent the wheel or rewrite everything from scratch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I just need to use what I have \u2014 this cheap phone, this simple website, and the faith I can borrow when mine feels small or completely lost as most of the times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Job\u2019s faith worked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It was tested. It was stubborn. It was second hand at times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it was enough.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And Bob became our uncle and here we are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So if you\u2019re sitting there today watching dead flowers grow thinking you don\u2019t have the right tools, the perfect setup, or enough faith \u2014 stop waiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All you need is:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Balls of steel (or at least a little bit of courage)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A little bit of second hand faith ( If it worked for Job it has to work for me somehow \/ somewhere along the line too).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And the willingness to use what\u2019s already in your hands<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We do need tools, yes \u2014 but the simplest ones often work best when paired with stubborn faith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019m right here with you \u2014 also borrowing faith together when we have and need to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Still Building.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
My name is Job \u2013 and what\u2019s your name?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What season are you in right now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the meantime if “I Am Job” is helping you in some supportive way, or at least made you laugh a bit. Please consider buying me a coffee please.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
