Happy Sabbath
It’ s a beautiful day and has been a good week for me. I am so thankful for last week. I really was able to get so much done
and my house is now really a home.
I went to church today and it was a good service and message that had us
spend a lot of time in the book of Judges and reminding us that we were born
with purpose and to not squander the gifts and talents the Lord has given
us.
I played piano today, stayed for lunch and lunch was
delicious (always when made by Trinidadians and Jamaicans, they do cook the
best).
I had a lovely time with my son yesterday after work. My parents bought him a bigger
bike. I had purchased a little red
tricycle when he was 2 or 3 years old but he broke the storage thing in the
back and never learned to ride it.
It rusted up after being left outside for who knows how long. He now has a big boy bike (with
training wheels) and I brought it over to my house yesterday so he could
practice riding it in the afternoon.
He did such a great job and it was wonderful being able to go out and
enjoy nature and the walk. I don’t
do well with stinging insects, bushes (usually wasp nests are in bushes), tall
grass, dogs, and trash cans, but I was able to walk around and even near some
of those things and not freak completely out like I typically do.
My neighbor from across the street who always walks his dog
approached us for te first time and my son pet the dog. It’s such a lovely neighborhood and I
feel safe here. I see homes in the
area and am inspired to do even better, the landscaping work out here is
phenomenal. I do watch and
subscribe to landscaping and gardening channels since I don’t pay for a service
and I want to keep my home looking it’s best.
Tomorrow I think I will go out and harvest my first bunch of
salad greens. I planted tat stuff
during the start of April and that stuff is huge now and everything, including
the asparagus I believe is coming up and doing something. I want to build two more garden beds
since my mother gave me bags and bags of seeds for mustard greens, turnips, cow
peas, and so much more. My squash
leaves are huge, peas climing the trellis and the grape vine is coming back to
life.
My first week back to work went well. I was scrambling for a few things but
things did not go horribly wrong as I’d expect when I’m not prepared. When I don’t have to go to the office,
it feels like I didn’t work. I
didn’t have to go to the office this week since I was off on Monday and
scheduled myself to be out for the rest of the week in the field. I think I might be doing the same thing
next week, not sure. My calendar
is not correct for May so I have to move some people around but I’m glad that
with all this time off, I was able to come back and get some good things going
for a few of my people.
Life is good and I am thankful. I wish I could say I got another job but that has not
happened yet. We typically get
salary increases in July and I really hope that what ever increase comes, it
really helps me out. I need a
second income and there is no way around it. Please pray that I follow the direction the Lord gives me
and that I have the income I need to support my household and give back as it
is due.
