Hello all!
God is so good to me.
As soon as I'm able there will be an update!

[Lynx]

As anticipated I had a good time at work today sorting through all that new music.  I'm happy.

As much as I am around dead bodies and the funeral home and such, I really dislike funerals. UGH. I don't know what to say much to the family. Especially when the deceased is someone who was clearly not living for God and had never obeyed the Bibles plan of salvation. And especially when the grandson of said person thinks that she is in a better place and he will see her again.

What am I supposed to said to him when he talks about that?


I don't want to go today. The upside is that I'll only be able to go to the viewing and not the funeral itself. But I still don't want to. But I will, to show support for my friends and their family. I will do that.


Now to get up and start getting ready so I can start this day an get it over with.

[Roscoe]

Morning all. Back at work. Hope y'all have a great day!

I usually don't say much of anything to people at funerals. 


Overslept.  But oh well, I needed the sleep.  Will go to work here in a bit.

[Melody]

That can be awkward.  You don't have to say anything about the deceased, Mel.  Kinda ignore that part and just address the love of God that brings comfort.  2Cor 1:4

Nice weather the last few days.  Yesterday was a heat index of like 102° but it was windy, about the same today. 


So my sister who's husband left her. It boggles my mind. I don't know if you guys remember that when I was praying one day for my sister's salvation I recognized the hinderance that my parents were presenting. So I asked God if they were a hinderance to her salvation to remove their influence, separate them.  That DAY my sis called me to tell me there was a confrontation with her dad over a sensitive subject.  From that day on there was a separation.  Totally not what I would have thought or wanted but God knows. 

So last week my other sister, Becky and I are talking on the phone about how Elizabeth and all the kids are coming to visit her.  We are excited cause she can see the good things God is doing in Becky and go to church with her.  We make a pact to pray and also fast a certain day each week.  Well, on that day we begin our fast, Elizabeth calls and tells us that her husband has left her kind of.  He doesn't actually say that, he just moves out... He's not communicating very well.  It's been a loooong week for her.  Her world has pretty much fell apart.  BUT she has started praying, first for her husband, then to God directly, and today she sent me a text saying God is giving her strength and doing something wonderful in her.  See, she went out and applied, got and started a job last week.  It requires excercise and she is pretty out of shape. She also got a little kiddie pool and has been out with the kids.  She is feeling great physically.  While praying for her this morning, I felt the need to tell her about Christian radio.  She is clueless about it. 

So I called her and I told her what station it was for her town.  She told me she had made up her mind to go to church on Sunday.  You guys!  This sister has been very reluctant towards God/church since she was little.  She has shown tiny signs here and there but this is a big step for her!  She told me that eventhough it wasn't apostolic but baptist that she wanted to start somewhere.  PTL!  I told her I was excited for that and though they may not have some of the basics that we know, whatever the Bible says is still the Bible and when they teach Bible, it'll still bless her.  I said if her daughter (9yrs) wanted to be baptized at some point just insist that it's in Jesus name!  She told me no way, if Lexi wants baptized they will drive down to my church and do it.  She then told me that Lexi has actually been asking about baptism lately.  God clearly isn't just doing a work on my sister but the family.  I don't know what is going on with her husband, he came and got every stitch of everything, even paperwork, he could find of his and she ran into him getting an official change of address at the PO.  He just tells her he doesn't know what he feels, he just needs to get away to think.     Apparently he needs all that stuff to help him think. 

Anyways, my God is doing something great.  I cannot wrap my mind around it.  But He's not done with my family!!!

[Chseeads]

That's good.



Went to work, came home.  Eating.

Fowl tending and garden watering await me.

[Heather]

so i got home this evening and didn't have any electricity  she gave me 5 whole days of warning. 5 DAYS!! we finish painting the room i'm moving into tomorrow. it's currently hot pink, lime green, and midnight blue. my sisters doing when she was in middle school. we'll be moving my bed on thursday. luckily i had already offered my shift friday to another girl and i'll be off work friday/saturday/sunday to get everything situated. i'm just really mad at this point.

[Melody]

What a blessing that you have family to lean on, Heather. Not everyone's parents would be open to them moving back in.

[Heather]

My mother who abhors church? We'll see how it goes. Keep me in your prayers. Luckily with the car situation I now live 1/2 mile from the church so I can walk if need be.

[MelodyB]

Whew. Finally done.

Been going all day today. Viewing was ok, I was spazzed for nothing. I saw my friends, gave hugs, and got out of there in time to pick dad up. Then we went home. The guy from the car place called and said he had sold the motorhome!! It's gone! So dad and I went back to town and got the money! Dad is relieved. We ran errands, and came home again. Then I made dinner, and went BACK to town to clean the church. I'm finally home and ready to go to sleep.

Dad wants to get up early and go meet his old buddies at the grocery store deli place for breakfast tomorrow, so I guess we will do that. Go go go. He is more active now than he was when he could walk. Lol

[Chseeads]

Urgh.

If only you would shift your perspective just a little bit, you would see this is probably the best possible situation.  Your mother will see the change God makes in you, and you will be a better christian for your mother's sake.  All the arguing in the world would not get some people to go to church, where simple evidence of what God can do will.

Broke pinky toe + Uniform shoes = OUCH!!!!!!

[Roscoe]

Morning, all. Mel, that's great news! Maybe you can get a s'mores pie from Mcdonald's with some of the money....

Heather, and everyone else- praying for ya. Even Ol' Broke Toe. 

[MelodyB]

If they give me the right pie I order! Ugh. Stupid McDs.

[Roscoe]

If they give me the right pie I order! Ugh. Stupid McDs.

Yes. After my ordeal at McDonald's yesterday, I'll second that feeling.

[MelodyB]

You get my text about that?

For everyone else...this is the text I sent this morning to Roscoe after he shared with me his discust at McDs for always getting his order wrong...

I'm mad at McDs now too. I went thru the drive thru to get mom a frapp last night, I ordered a frapp and s'more pie. I wanted to try it. So I pull away, pull out the pie, in the dark...go to take a bite, and I smell apples. I looked, and it was an apple pie. UGH. I gave it to dad when I got home and had to do without. I ordered a s'more!

[MelodyB]

I'm at the grocery store with dad, eating breakfast with his coffee drinking old guys. I think these guys are worse than women gossips, they talk about all kinds of stuff.

[Chseeads]

ugh

[MelodyB]

Amen.
