Might sound petty, maybe some of ya'll can relate to this.
I do our church's website, and occasionally get some feelers from area businesses about doing web work for them. More often than not, for whatever reason it doesn't work out. It's hard for businesses to afford decent webwork, even at the dirt-cheap rates I'm willing to give them.
About two weeks ago, we got a very promising lead, or at least it seemed that way at the time and now I'm getting impatient, which I know is wrong.
A local business has contacted my wife and I about doing a website, and my wife and the owner talked at length about it and I'm really hoping we get their business. With a baby on the way in a few months, every dollar helps.
The owner liked what we told him, wants to think it over, look at his finances, etc. decide if/what he needs, etc. and I'm sure we'll talk soon. At least I hope so. I don't wanna rush him but we'll definitely follow up if we don't hear anything else from him. Waiting. Fun. Not.
Problem is, I'm getting impatient about it and I feel bad. We know that because as God takes care of sparrows, he'll look after us that much more because we're humans who love him.
Please pray that I will have patience as this plays out, pray that it is God's will that this works out but also for me not to stress out if it doesn't. Know it sounds immature but one of my dreams is to do web design on a free-lance basis to help pay bills and such. But of course, my site I do for our church for free will always be my first priority and creative passion, all other projects are secondary for sure.
