Happy Resurrection Weekend and Sabbath!!


Happy Sabbath


It is a lovely Sabbath day and I am enjoying it; the sunshine, the temperatures, the slow cooker experiment I cooked up on low over night, the service and fellowship online and even Sabbath school.  It is a beautiful and special day and I am thankful that I can be here to experience it.

God is good and my week has been good because of Him.  I had a shorter work week and one day this week I tried encouraging one of my clients in the Lord, she has been going through so much and I know that God has the answer for her but it is up to her to search around and look for her answer.  They don’t want people to talk about God. They want to go to science or some other man made process that still ends with questions and not answers.  I am thankful I could share part of my testimony with her and that I could encourage her. She says she believes in God and she prefers to go to people who are Christians and want them to pray for her.  I hope she continues not only to do this but to learn to pray for herself, believe and wait on the Lord. 

I know that this plague is wreaking havoc over the world right now but I am thankful that it is causing us to be still, forcing us to be home and for many of us to look at our condition and see our need.  I am thankful that I can be in my home and really enjoy my home. I spend a great deal of time in my home office/activity room where I am now.  I am able to look outside and see sunshine fill rooms, hear the birds in the afternoon, watch my plants in my plant gallery grow and even my outdoor garden beds are showing up something. Cabbage, sugar snap peas, zucchini, onions and more are coming up.  Flowers are coming up in the triangular garden I have in the front of my home.  My lawn is lush and green and I hear the calls of the peacocks across the way in somebody’s back yard.  It’s spring time, a beautiful time and I get to actually be home and awake to see it, smell it and hear it.  Buds are growing on my grape vine.  Prior to Corona, I was constantly coming and going, rushing to sleep and not getting much rest. 

I am thankful that I am on vacation for next week and was off Good Friday.  I still have to work my part time but I have less stress and can enjoy more time at home.

I will bring up something that I didn’t expect and is a bit of a challenge for me that I need prayer on.  At my main gig, I am constantly on the go and don’t stay in any place too long.  Everything is professional and business and that’s how I like it.  At my part time, some men are bothered that I, a woman am working in an aisle that most feel is best suited for a man.  I keep at it and like the solitude, keep to myself and get er done as some say.  This job is a blessing as it is helping me to pay those other bills I was coming up short on and it is my gym membership.  I am guaranteed to get my 10k step count with weight training three nights a week and I am looking forward to transforming my body and getting back into shape. 

I was working one night when they put too much work in my area and not only that, the delivery truck didn’t show up for dairy so they put a few guys over in my aisle to help me out.  I’m working and going about what I need to do when this Hispanic guy stated they wanted to work with me.  I later realized why and I’m out of my element knowing how to deal with such things.  Please pray for me that I deal with people the right way.  He is attractive but aside from visual, I have nothing in common in him.  Can’t easily dip out of this (gotta stay the full 9 hours at the site), but I want to be cordial and polite to the guy.  It’s also kinda nice to have that type of attention but I know it will not lead to any where good especially with the list of No’s I have marked down for him.  Please pray for me.

Other than that, no complaints.  Life is good and God is good.  May you have a wonderful and blessed day and new week.
