| My life's ups and downs... |
| Tuesday, July 12, 2011, 9:09pm Today, it hit me. God has me where I am for a reason... literally, and I am in the right place. I've been praying for sometime now ---- prior to being out of work ---- that God would bring me back to a place of service to Him, my devine appointment to fulfill my earthly mission for which I was created. I am moved by compassion for the people I work with. Our wage is at poverty level... These are good people, who work hard and have completely foregone all veneer. One lady came up to me this morning to let me know her legs are septic. I had spoken to her about a week ago because she was limping. She told me that she has blood clots in her legs and recently had some sort of injection to help get rid of them. She was due to go back in for another one, but when she went in they found both legs are septic. They have her on antibiotics. She said that she came to me because she knew I was a praying person. She is supposed to be taking time off, but she needs to work to bring in money. I am privileged. I took a brief restroom break and breathed a silent prayer. These people are ministering to me, and I am ministering to them. If this is God's devine purpose for me on the earth ---- working where I come into contact with His chosen people ----- so be it. I am willing. |
| Monday, July 11, 2011, 6:31am Happy Birthday, Grandma Ree! The weekend has passed and it's back to work! Life is good! Keep smiling and have a great week!  |
| Saturday, July 9, 2011, 11:06pm Thought for the day: God is still working on me! He hasn't given up! Thank you, Lord. |
| Thursday, July 7, 2011, 8:23pm Just so you know I have it in me ---- I worked twelve-and-a-half hours today. So, as of today, I have officially made up for being off on July 4. (As a "temp," I do not get paid holidays!) I am telling you, it was tough... I felt sorry for myself, sad. You get the picture. But, nevertheless, I did it! So, have a delightful evening, and TGIF tomorrow! --------------------------------- A sure fire way to break out of the doldrums: turn on worship music, such as Selah and soak. When feeling sorry for yourself and sad, bring to mind a fun, carefree time with friends --- picture it --- the laughing, exuberance... It will bring a smile to any sad face pronto! |
| Tuesday, July 5, 2011, 9:08pm Today... feeling a little "Woe, is me," tearful. Life is hard, but God is good... all the time. I'm here for a purpose. If my purpose had been fullfilled, I wouldn't be here. May no suffering be in vain. Day-by-day, little-by-little I will make it through... full of character, integrity, long-suffering. I am learning not to strive, to wait on God, to be content in whatever circumstance I find myself. (Hebrews 11) But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, long-suffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance --- without which there is no law. Fare thee well. |
| INDEPENDENCE DAY, Monday, July 4, 2011, 10:22am Was going to work today, but went to the building and all of the lights were off. I then realized I don't know where the switches are! Crazy, I know, but even the restrooms don't have a light switch. Apparently, there is one location where you flip the switch on for the entire building. So, decided to follow through with doing my laundry instead. My parents are in a golf tournament today; so, I am here doing my laundry. My back hurts already! Okay! That's it for now! Enjoy this INDEPENDENCE DAY here in the USA! |
| Sunday, July 3, 2011, 8:53am Put another $400 toward my rent on Friday. I will be so happy when I am caught up and on top again! It's going to take a while though ---- Rome wasn't built in a day! Hah! Got up before 7am this morning. Funny, it felt later. I like days like this. Yesterday passed quickly. In another thirty minutes, I will shower and dress for church. Why do I dread that? I miss friends. Had friends in Florida, friends in Ohio, but haven't been here long enough to make any lasting friendships --- though I like the Pastor of the church I attend. He is a very warm individual, seems to genuinely care deeply about people ---- "Pastor" fits well. My Grandma Ruby is going into Hospice so she will have more care during her final days on earth. Her kidneys are slowly shutting down. I'll know more after speaking to my Uncle Gene tonight on Skype. She has seen four generations of descendants including my mother. If here in these United States of America, be sure to enjoy the festivities of Independence Day! |
| Wednesday, June 29, 2011, 7:19pm I'm tired. After work, I completed my three monthly reviews for Rising Stars. Thank God for review templates. The templates keep me focused and create greater depth in my reviews. So long, farewell. Good evening! |
| Saturday, June 25, 2011, 9:56am Reminder to self: turn off the alarm on the weekends! I did my laundry last night. Still have some laundry to do----rugs, quilt. May go ahead and do those today. I find cleanliness revitalizing as the sun, greenery, flowers after a heavy rain. I would really like to do something different today. I'll rethink that one after I do my laundry. I am kind of betwixt and between as to what to pay----I need to get caught up on my rent, but am also two months behind on my water bill, two months behind on my internet, and my car insurance is set for cancellation at month end. I've been all week now without a transcription job and haven't yet been paid for the one I finished last weekend. I just wish I could let go of all of it and be at peace... only by the grace of God. Have a veritable weekend! |
| Monday, June 20, 2011, 7:57pm Today was burdensome... at work. My computer kept freezing up and I had a lot of strange and difficult bills to key. I was really glad to go home. I watched Poirot tonight; then I watched the final episode of The Killing on AMC. It was a cliffhanger, a good way to end and also a good way to keep it going for another season if that's the plan. I am about to ready for bed and read my bible. Take care, have a pleasant evening and a good night's sleep! |
