Jeremiah 17:5

Happy Sabbath

I am happy to be home this afternoon and that I had a good week. I am thankful for the rain that has come into my area and is greening up the lawn and keeping my plants alive. I am thankful for my family blood born and spiritual.  I am thankful for my job. They are giving me a huge bonus and I could do so much with that money. I will receive it in my next paycheck. I am thankful that my son finished 4th grade and I along with his grandparents could be present for the entire ceremony and celebration.
I am thankful for a good day at church, the delicious lunch served, the sermon, and the Temu package that arrived today to keep my son occupied.

The Message for today hit a nerve or two. I don't know what was fully behind it but I do appreciate that the speaker stressed the need for leaders to stand up and not allow their past and poor decisions to define them. He said that we need to pray for the dads in the church, the men, the women who are parents and he said alot more. Someone was present in the congregation that I am not interested in seeing. I think part of that message was directed to him as I know he has not thought highly of me ever since my issues 2 years ago. People will come and go but I have to keep my focus. A person who comes to do special music was there and when I see her, I see him. I guess that's her son, it makes sense.  I don't need to get into it bur what I will say is don't think you can get away with anything.  You'd be surprised at who is watching you and you never know when you will run into them again. Don't allow anyone to cause you to lose your focus. Don't trust in other people. Trust in the Lord and Him alone and you will not fail.

Jeremiah 17:5

Evangelism at the Park

Happy Sabbath

May be the shortest post yet.Just returned from a Juneteenth evangelistic event and there was a wonderful turnout. We were able to give away all of the ADRA bags and additional items to the public and it was wonderful to see familiar faces again this year. A visitor from Montreal came to church today and it was a pleasure meeting her. I was able to talk with her more and if I go to Quebec one day, I will call her up. Very nice person. I became frustrated towards the end because much like the start and other things I won't say, there was not much coordination.  I'll try to focus on the positive.  God is good. I was able to help set up, support at the church and return with additional support to the end. It was a good Sabbath. 

June June

 Happy Sabbath

My eye is bothering me but everything is alright.  I had a good day at church. My son was having some issues in the morning and I did my best to make sure we didn't have to go home.  We were able to stay until closing time.  It was wonderful to see everyone and hear a person who visited our church before who sang two songs.  I didn't know it but back in 2007 I recorded this same person at a concert they had on New years eve.  I didn't hit record on anyone else but for some reason I decided to do for her and I have listened to her recording for years. Such an amazing voice, absolutely blown away every time she opens her mouth.  She sang today and I recorded her on voice recorder and video for her second song.  God has blessed His people so much it doesn't even make any sense, especially her.  It was a wonderful time today.  

My son and I just enjoyed some cake and I am preparing to take a nap prior to going to work tonight.  I wore a skirt and hair bow I purchased from Temu and am excited about my second order that is on its way.  I am excited for the weekend and to get things done around the house.  I had a productive week despite the challenges. I even received a death threat but I was able to have a great day. I don't know who sent it but if it is the person I am thinking of, he has no way to get out to where I live and if I get any proof it is him, I'm letting management know and will shut him all the way down.  It could very well be the wrong number too.  I didn't respond to it or even put it on read.  You know how you can see a message but not click it and read it, I'm leaving it just like that but I did screen shot it.  I have no problems with anyone and mind my business.  I will try to do what I can for people and if it doesn't work out, it is what it is.  The only other time I had someone make threats to harm me was when I was pregnant with my son and finishing out my social work internship at a psych hospital.A young lady asked me for help with something and I told her I could make no promises but would do everything I could to try to work out what she was requesting.  I was not able to get it through and she was ready to delete me but orderlies stepped in and got her under control.  She was the only one who stepped out of pocket towards me and now it is possible it is this former client as well.  

Whatever the case, God is good.  I am going to clean up and prepare for my nap.  I love this time of year and hope that you are having a wonderful time this month and Sabbath.  Have a blessed weekend and new week to come.  

Keeping It Short and Sweet

Happy Sabbath

Keeping it short. I had a good week. I hosted a cookout/party at my home on Sunday which was fun. People were great, food was good, and although my son lost it towards the end, I still had a great time in the company of my church family. I am thankful I was able to do it. I decided late the night before after getting confirmation from a church sis she and others were coming.

I had a productive work week and enjoyed taking off Wednesday to recharge my batteries.  Today was communion and I was able to go support for a baptism at another church. I'm thankful for those opportunities and that I am home and able to rest.

God is good.
