What advice would you give to your teenage self?
Don’t give up so easily whether at school or with tasks at home.
Don’t let anyone get to you because the Lord is with you and you are never alone.
You can do all things through Christ because He gives you strength.
The sky is the limit with the Lord on your side.
God’ s love and kindness are from everlasting to everlasting.
There is no limit to his mercy and faithfulness. They are true all day long.
Great is my God, and greatly should He be praised forever.
(Psalm 36 verse 5)
What bores you?
In Covid times( still is), but at the beginning, if you had to make a medical appointment, there was no waiting room waiting. Mind doctors did appointments virtually. Then, after a couple of vaccines some clinics opened for in person appointments.
You made the appointment. You came on time, and you were taken in on time.
Now, you get to wait.
One thing it is still not like pre Covid : You waited a long time for your doctor to see you for less than five minutes only only to tell you, take a aspirin and call me in a day or two. (That I don’t mind. Health is wealth.)
Still, the more things change is, the more they stay the same.
I will sing praises to the Lord all day long.
I will magnify his name, for He is worthy to be praised.
He saved me from all my fears. He comforts me.
My tongue shall speak of thy righteousness my Lord and thy praise all day long. My tongue is a pen of a ready writer for thou art worthy from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same.
(Psalm 35 verse 28 an Psalm 45 verse 1)
What is your favorite drink?
It is such a nice refreshing drink for any season from my sister’s recipe.
Made with fruit juice like orange or peach, even both. You will mix it with a dry white wine or a sweet white wine like a Moscato with high sugar content. Then add Sprite or Seven up, not soda water. If you want it a tiny bit sweeter, then add a little grenadine, but that will be too sweet when using a Moscato or maybe not. 😉
Really, it is a grown-up up version of a Shirley Temple.
Serve it chilled, and it is delish.
He will fight for you.
With God on your side, you have confidence and the assurance of victory.
He is your Champion, and there is none like Him.
Be in peace and trust Him.
The Lord shall fight for you, and you shall hold your peace.
He will fight against them that fight against you.
(Exodus 14 verse 14 and Psalm 35 verse 1)
Who are your favorite people to be around?
My girls are my best friends.
They are there for me in good times and bad times.
We laugh. We talk. We listen and try not to judge.
Some of the advice is questionable but they mean well.
I am more relaxed and myself in their company than any others’.
There are very good people I call the Fab Three.
Over eight times in Psalm 34, God’s deliverance from all evil, against the enemy, and from fear is spoken.
The theme of the promise of God hearing the cries of his people and saving them from all their trouble saturates this Psalm.
The faithfulness and precious love of God runs freely from him to those he loves. Trust and belief in the Lord are our weapons against all fear, against whatever evil we face every day. He is a present help when we are in trouble.
I sought the Lord, and He heard me and delivered me from all my fears. Psalm 34 verse 4.
Tell us about your favorite pair of shoes, and where they’ve taken you.
I spent most of my pay cheque on those cool designer shoes by Miu Miu.
I loved the colour, and against my skin, it looked fabulous. Nice heel and, of course, great buttery leather.
One thing, though, they hurt like no one’s business wearing them for half a day.
But, what’s a little pain for beauty.
Love those shoes.
For He spake, and it was done; He commanded, and it stood fast. God quickened the dead and called those things, which be not as though they were.
God is the creator.
He gives life where there is death.
God is mighty, and He is holy.
Blessed be our God and our Father.
(Adapted from Psalm 33 verse 9 and Romana 4 verse 17)
