My life's ups and downs... |
Sunday, January 1, 2012, 1:05pm Life is good! Started my day off with Starbucks and a nice long walk. Now, I'm a mite bored... though enjoying Masterpiece Mystery! and a glass of wine. Happy New Year 2012! |
Wednesday, December 21, 2011, 7:19pm Why can't one ask questions straight out without his/her motives being called into question? Contemplate that one. Yet you can pose a question to God and He will answer you straight up! I think I'll just make sure I ask the right person next time. =) |
Sunday, December 18, 2011, 12:16pm It's been a good weekend---good to be off work, that is! Missed church this morning... Got up after 7am. Took a walk. My kitty, Goober, has an injury on his right side... must've gotten into a fight or something. Two clumps of his fur are matted and it looks like he was bitten. It's tender and he doesn't want to be touched. I'm a mite bored. Think I might have a bowl of soup and eat outside on the porch with Goober. Take care and enjoy your day in the "Sun." |
Saturday, December 10, 2011, 11:59am Once more with feeling... just got thrown out after typing three paragraphs---ugh! Anyway, as I was saying and as you don't recall---life is extremely good for me right now. I've started a new job---been in training both on-the-job and in the conference room for the last three-and-a-half-weeks. Day-by-day I become more comfortable with the position as well as the ladies I am working with---which is another good thing. A lady from church has invited me over tonight for pizza and a movie---looking forward to that... anything to break up the monotony of the day-to-day routine of life, eh? Pray for my mother---she has COPD and also has the flu. She has not felt well all week. If no better by Monday, she'll got to the doctor. Unfortunately, she has a smoking habit she cannot, or is unwilling, to break. |
Sunday, November 20, 2011, 8:54pm How do you survive in an environment where the very sound of your voice is met with contempt? It hurts. I restrain the compulsion to cry, push back anger and withdraw. |
Tuesday, November 15, 2011, 6:23pm The months are passing like seconds. Hard to comprehend. The older I get, the faster it goes. I'm happy and content. God is good... all the time. All the time, God is good. |
Saturday, November 12, 2011, 11:06am It's been a crazy week... but then they're all a little "crazy." Was offered and accepted a full-time position at the place where I've been temping. Now I get paid whenever they're off for a holiday and if overtime is offered, I am eligible to work it. A few quirks on the homefront, which I won't even honor with a comment. =) The guy I like, likes me too! Life is good. |
Sunday, October 23, 2011, 1:44pm ...what a difference twelve hours can make. Was so upset last night that I had trouble sleeping, wanting retribution, and yet this morning I feel nothing but forgiveness, peace and love. God is transforming my reality! May He transform yours as well. Today, I am focused on who I am in Him, and who He is in me. I am remembering there is a time for every purpose under heaven. This is my time to be silent, to acknowledge His presence and truth. No weapon formed against me will prosper. His Word is yea and amen. "Faith" is "my shield and bulwark for without faith it is impossible to please Him." He that comes to Him must first believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him. "He" is my "yea and amen." I believe that His Word does not return void, but goes forth to accomplish that for which He purposes. Above all things, I put on Love for God is Love. "He" is "my authority, my purpose, my all in all." Holiness, holiness is what I long for... Holiness is what I need. Holiness is what He wants for me. Faithfulness, faithfulness... Righteousness, righteousness... [chorus]Take my heart, and form it. Take my mind, transform it. Take my will, conform it.... to yours, to yours, O Lord. |
Monday, October 17, 2011, 6:45am Had a wonderful weekend. Went down for a total healing on Sunday. God is great. God is good. Happy to start the work week. Have a new beau at work and he's cute! |
Saturday, October 8, 2011, 8:22am It's amazing since I finally figured out the internal mouse is causing my computer to do weird things while I am typing --- such as, jumping up or down to another line, jumping to the beginning of a line or paragraph and being inserting, etc. --- knowing what causes the problem doesn't necessarily resolve the problem. Okay... So Bayfest is going on all weekend here in lower Alabama --- Mobile Bay area. I wanted to go because it sounded like fun. I've enjoyed festivals since I was a kid. (There --- it happened again --- typed a whole paragraph and then accidentally deleted it due to this mouse phenomena... Shucks!) Anyway, this guy at work asked me to go with him tonight. Looking forward to it. Haven't been on a "date" for several years now... A wee bit exciting, it is. Two of my neices are in town from Ohio, and Bayfest is the basis of their trip. They went yesterday with my sister and her husband. The weather is nice here today. A breeze is blowing; the air is fresh and embracing. The birds are singing, and the wind chimes are sounding. Have a remarkable weekend! Thanks, I intend to. =) |
