What’s your favorite candy?
However, I do like to pop a mint in my mouth so I don’t have my friends keeling over in a death heap from my breath.
Besides, it is nice to have fresh breath when going for that sweet liplock with my guy.
On the other hand, I pray his breath is fresh, too.
I’m I superficial?
Of course I am. A girl has to be whatever she wants to be. Besides, I don’t want him screwing up his face because he hates to kiss me. He has to love to dive right, honey, and the same for me.
Do you need a break? From what?
Don’t get me wrong, I love my job. I work with the public, meeting people from different walks of life. Some are kind others not so much, but all have a story, and I like storytelling and listening.
But I need at times to be recharged. Recharging will be a good break. A break not two weeks but something with substance like a sabbatical. I mean it will be a dream if it were a paid sabbatical.
What will I do?
My side hustle. It is artsy. Something very different to my medical based field.
Praise in the midst of mourning.
I will give thanks unto thee, oh Lord.
To the end, my glory will praise thee for thou turned my mourning into dancing.
When I looked, I saw that weeping only lasted for the night because Joy came in the morning.
( Adapted from Psalm 30)
The most important invention in your lifetime is…
The internet was established on that date. I love surfing. I do a lot of research, and the internet is a treasure house of knowledge. Some things are good and some bad, but it is how you use this source.
There are folks using it for evil, and we try to stay far from them until we can’t because they have us in their crosshairs. Now, that is bad, and there is nothing we can do, but be careful.
We can’t throw the baby out with the dirty bath water.
The Lord is in control.
The Lord sits as king forever. There is none like Him. He rules with a strong arm and with great compassion.
He is worthy to be praised from the rising of the sun to the going down of the same.
(Adapted from Psalm 29 verse 10, Psalm 113 verse 3 and Psalm 135 verse 6.)
Describe your most ideal day from beginning to end.
An ideal day is always a day off work.
Wake up before anyone else when it is still dark but almost dawn.
Fall on my knees in prayer and Thanksgiving for another day. Ask for guidance throughout the day. Don’t want to step on any toes and cause a fight. I want to make good choices.
Let the dogs out to do their business and open the house. Watch the sun creep up on the horizon to peek through the trees. Then call for family worship.
Then, fulfill the desire to get ready and exercise. Yikes!!!! Did I say that? That is my evil twin talking.
Become a nice domestic kind nice person and make breakfast for all. I do like cooking and creating yummy dishes.
Shower and get ready for some blogging and writing my stories as well as editing those stories with deadlines attached.
Have lunch, relax, play with the dogs, chat with family, and relax some more.
Eat dinner someone else made. Relax and watch a movie.
Have family prayer, then do my devotions and get ready for bed. Have a great night’s sleep, and then wake refreshed the next morning dv.
Sounds like a wonderful day to me.
Long sigh……………………………………….
My words are not fake.
I do not want to speak peace to my neighbors but have mischief in my heart. ( adapted from Psalm 27 verse 3.)
My prayer today is that I want my words to be pure and sincere. I pray daily that my ways might please the Lord. I pray my heart might be right before the Lord who dwells in holiness and who is holy and cannot look upon sin. But he might be pleased with me and that my enemies will be at peace with me.
Amen.
How do significant life events or the passage of time influence your perspective on life?
It hurt a great deal when my parents died. God fulfilled the number of their days, and I trust his calling them to Glory to be with Him, yet I am human and it hurts.
But, I realize that if they stayed, I would not grow spiritually. Even though I am an adult I still have a way to mature. My age is nothing compared to my state of mind. I may be older in body but my mind and understanding need to catch up.
As I look back, I see I can trust in the Lord and rely on Him and not on people.
Waiting on God in Hope.
When we wait on the Lord, it is not because He is slow or forgets to be kind to us. Waiting can seem very long. We do not hear or see any difference. He is not subjected to time like humans. We are born, live a little, and then we die. ( Ecclesiates 3 verse 1. To everything, there is a season.)
Time is not His enemy. It is His creation.
( Genesis 1 verse 5. The evening and the morning were the first day.) He dwells in eternity where time and the ravishes of time can never touch. Yet, God remembers what we are. He remembes we are frail creatures, and we go back to the earth as dust.
(Psalm 103 verse 14. He knows our frame and remembers we are dust.)
At the appointed time, He will come through. It will be for us perfect. We have only to trust Him.
I know it is hard. But He knows how this story ends and how it started. He is faithful.
(Isaiah 46 verse 9 to 13…
I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. Declaring the end from the beginning, and from the ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: I have spoken it, I will also bring it to pass; I purposed it, I will also do it. Hear me, I bring near my righteousness; it shall not be far off, and my salvation shall not tarry.)
Amen
Something on your “to-do list” that never gets done.
These days I am so busy I get very little time to relax. Every morning, I play a little with my dogs, but I feel it is not enough. I put time in my schedule on my days off, but things get in the way that I switch gears and do something else. The look on their faces are enough to make me feel like something lower than a human being.
So this weekend I will do it. Spend real time with the fur babies.
Besides, if I don’t, they may jump ship and bite me .
