Teeth and Family Testimony

Happy Sabbath!

I am home and enjoying a relaxing lovely time laying in front of my fireplace. This week has been tumultuous for many, but the Lord has been with me and my family. I saw my oldest sister today. She had a bad car wreck a week prior to thanksgiving, but is alright. She wasn't afraid when it happened and guess what? She has a brand-new Honda suv today. She is being more careful in her commute.

Perhaps what is even greater, my son went into a room to mess with his fish Mr. Bubbles. He took the bottle for the slime coat and tried to pour it in the hole he usually feeds the fish through. I never demonstrated pouring anything but food through that hole and I don't know where he got the idea from. He spilled it and emptied the bottle. That fish tank sits top of my electric Yamaha Clavinova piano. There are buttons to that piano as well as a floppy disc drive to record and play music. It spilled all over it and almost got the extension cord/power stick. I praise God because it was not plugged in.

If it was, I don't know what would have happened. My son will be three in January and at this age he is defiant and getting into so much mischief.

I praise and thank Jesus for being there for my sister and watching over my son who likes to run around and mess with stuff he is not supposed to.

I had a great week, was able to take my son for his testing and to get my tooth fixed today. My tooth started having problems the day before my son was born and my stress over it was what caused me to go in to labor. Now it's finally fixed. I am thankful and that is my testimony for this week.

After I posted this, I prayed for my family still out and about for safety and no issues with car trouble. Right after my amen, my mother told me that my older sister (2nd oldest) was at a nearby pizza place and locked out of her car. She thought she'd have to call AAA. I went to get my car keys knowing my phone was at 1% power to go get her when she called back and said she found them. She stopped by anyway. When I was having my devotion, listening to music from a Bible plan in YouVersion and writing this blog, my phone power was steadily dying. It changed every 4-5 minutes. I lay on the floor by the fireplace expecting it to cut off. At that time at 1%, I was listening to Pandora piano hymns. That's when my mother came and told me about this sister.

When she was here, I had my phone with me, waiting for it to die. My mother was annoyed by it and my sister who is an atheist turned on some music that she claimed sounded like Christian music and she tried to drown the soft sounds out. I talked with her for a while and put my phone in the dining room thinking the power would cut off and wanted to avoid losing it.

The phone continued playing soft Christian hymns for another one to two hours. It didn't die until I was ready to take my son to bed.

I am writing this on Saturday morning now and the sun is not up.

I opened the Bible and read and I was inspired to write my own psalm. I wrote this before 6am today and I'm posting it as a reminder to myself of what the Lord has brought me through. I think writing our own psalms is a great way to bring us closer to the Jesus we want to serve.  They are prayers and also testimony that we need to strengthen our walk. I want to continue to connect with Jesus and hold myself accountable on my commitment to do so.
