Jeremy over at The Wealthy Blogger has written a response to my question about generating income when you’re between jobs.
Since I moved to New York, I’ve had an increasing desire to make my own way without having to rely on “the man” for income. I see the need to stand on my own two feet absolutely essential if I’m to live in the world, and I see it as a way to force myself to rely on God for my daily needs. I find the idea of a steady secure job, complete with medical and dental, nice as a supplementary form of sustinence, and I’m certainly not against having a steady job, but I could easily see myself coming to rely on that job rather than God. The only sure way around that I can see, is to take large unsteady steps, thereby forcing me to rely on something other than myself or my circumstances for survival.
Of course my personality is more like that of mild-mannered Clark Kent than the mighty self-confident Superman. Striking out on my own scares the bejeezus out of me. That’s one of the reasons I’m so hesitant to put my money where my mouth is, and I’m trying to reach out to others for moral support. Unfortnately you can’t eat moral support, hence the job I have now (which I like, by the way). Slowly but surely, I’m developing my little plans, and every day I pray for courage.
