This, that and the other...

My Lord,

How are you?  I hope you know how much my heart appreciates you.  I love you and I think about you all the time.  I've been busy doing this, that and the other as I'm packing and stuff.  My back has been killing me, but this too, shall pass.

I have been enjoying eating again and really loving brown rice.  I'm going to go 30 days without meat or bread.  I have been feeling so blessed going to the grocery store these days.  You have certainly provided for me in ways I can't put into words.  Just being able to run errands-from the cleaners to the Giant to the Walmart, ending with a full tank of gas.  THANK You!

Thank you for the chaise lounge that was sitting in the church lobby with my name written all over it.  Thank you Pastor Matt!!! The sisters were so jealous!  I told everyone that you #favor me!  It's so true! :-)

Beckie will be here the weekend of our Annual Yard Sale and she will get to meet all my sisters, biological and Christian.  I'm so excited.  Father, please don't let me get lost on the way to the airport.  Please.

By the time my midnight shift is over, I'll be lucky if I find my way back home.  I always get so sleepy minutes from home and that scares me.  You surely are behind the wheel during those moments.

Thank you for your presence and grace on Wed.  It was my turn to help out in the kitchen and I only had 2 chocolate chip cookies.  They were just ok.  I only ate them because I saw them.  It was taco night and I came prepared w/my brown rice and mixed veggies.  I still have not had any tea or soda and don't plan on it.  I'm going to Jamaica soon and I want to stay within my boundaries.  Not only that, I'm going to see dad soon and I don't want all that sweet stuff that we usually get when I visit.

I want you to keep me on track and help me to continue with making healthy choices and being very aware of what's going in my/your Temple.  I don't want to get lazy and just eat "stuff" because I don't feel like cooking.  I see cooking as a privilege and I thank you for that.

Today was a beautiful and sunny day.  I ran a few errands this morning and went back in to prepare for tonight.  Read a bit and just tried to relax.  Robbie and Jackie brought the chair over for me and it is so pretty.  I love it.

Thank you for my secret sister.  She gifted me with a big basket full of goodies.  I'm so loved!

I spoke with Hope and she is so loving the audio bible that I gifted her with.  She mentions it each time that we speak.  She loves falling asleep with it on.  I so love her passion for you at 94 years of age.  I also spoke with T, Sharon and Mother Williams.  Three more people who love you! :-)
Karen and I texted and she's getting my new place ready for me.  SO, so, so excited!  I just love her.

Prayer request:  Thea, Leslie, Allen family, Linda's brother, Dixon family, Shelly, Ms. Jean, Sherry, Alicia, Pastor Jay, Anie, Nesbitt's, Brewer's, Senior friendships, Marsha, and myself.  In Jesus' name. Amen.

Eternally yours
