My Walk of Self-Reliance and Independence
On Selling Everything I Own, and How We Can Have Greater Self-Reliance
Taking the road less travelled on the adventure of my lifetime.
Dear Medium Friends:
This is a post about how we can all seek to establish greater self-reliance and independence. This through examples of the life I am now living and about to change.
Considering my continuing pain from a 2016 back injury, and the 27 pills I still take daily, difficulty exists in working a 9–5 anything. I’m not supposed to lift much either.
I need to make drastic changes in my life to push my body. And this, at 56; five months short of 57 years of age.
These recent months I’ve felt the call of my Lord. The message, simple: “Sell everything” I own so that I may follow him.
New International Version Matt. 19:21 (NIV)
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
