Change of Mind

 Happy Sabbath,

I had a good week and good Sabbath today.  I have something I need to pray about.  I don't know if the pastor did not get my message or if he saw it and decided to ignore it so that perhaps the problem I presented would go away.  I told him last month that I was stepping down from being the music coordinator.  I told someone else who was not on the board who I thought would be a good option a week or so later. Then today I told two board members and realized that both were completely unaware and that in fact the pastor had not told them.  I thought it would have been discussed at board meeting but turns out they were not able to have one despite announcing they would be meeting at least twice now.  I know people prayed for someone to come and I am repeatedly told that I am an answer to those prayers.  I felt a strong push to come help this church when it came to piano, but music coordinator was something they just tacked on and I don't know so much about that.  I have to pray and hopefully have an answer by tomorrow.  

I am thankful for new things I can try.  I have been making asian street snacks from mandarin and strawberry tanghulu to dalgona with different flavors and other fun foods.  I am spending quality time with my son.  I also have changed my about selling my car.  My dad went ahead without my permission and paid insurance on it for another 6 months.  He went to talk to someone about a transmission and went out thursday to drop a deposit on one.  I am expecting to pick up the transmission monday and have someone identified to install and make other repairs for way less than the other people quoted me.  Yesterday I turned the car on for the first time since early January.  I hope this works and I am thankful for my dad's persistence, even though it is annoying when he doesn't listen to me.  I can get some more life out of this car and I am looking forward to having my backup again.

This week I've made exceptions that in a normal week, I would not do at work.  I decided to make myself available for later meetings. I decided to spend a little more than I have for most of the month on things I wanted and didn't necessarily need.  I decided to change my mind about several seemingly small things that make a big impact on my day.  

I don't know what is in store for next week but I know I have some challenges up ahead and have to give them to the Lord.  I need to go clean up the mess I left in the kitchen and tend to my son.  I thank God that I am able to change my mind and that I have not suffered any ill consequences yet.  I thank Him for being with me and helping me to become a better person every day.  May the Lord be with you and bless you for the new week to come.
