FUN-FILLED FRIDAY!!

FUN-FILLED FRIDAY!

Way past my bedtime last night was when I went to bed

So when I woke this morning crazy thoughts were not going to my head.

To Starbucks to Starbucks I have to meet my friends

I missed a couple regulars but I made and time to see my friend from Mexico--

The regulars I will hopefully see again!

I must go to a store and take a cart for a walking spin!

I hope you too have a Fun-filled Friday with all the activities that you have planned,

Keep your eyes out for today's devotion,

It's on God's Mighty Word that I stand!

MELLOW MONDAY!

‘Tis such a mellow Monday, my poem wasn't even written until almost 4 PM--

I am in disbelief of my calmness, that ‘as kicked off the week-- how I hope it happens again!

Small steps….I hope it happens tomorrow-- less time to retain the memory HEY, I CAN DO THAT!

First Friday?

12:16 am On this first Friday of the month that many schools start,

many children who have been playing all day will with that laissez-faire schedule they'll have to part.

To school they head, education to gain,

with online learning they'll have school no matter the weather: snow sleet or rain!

Forgive me for the child like poem it happens more often than not-

I guess it's the side of the bed I wake up on and in the middle of the night and if I'm laying in that certain spot.

Jesus Today (75) by Sarah Young

Jesus Today (75) by Sarah Young 7-16-2023 My steadfast Love never ceases, My mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning. I know how desperately you want to believe this - and how much you are struggling to do so. Today, the only things that seem endless are your problems and your pain. But I am here - tenderly present - ready to help you get safely through this day. Buying this truth can make the difference between coping and giving up in despair. Some days when things are going reasonably well, it is easier to trust in My steadfast Love. But when new unexpected problems strike, trusting Me takes much more effort. At such times it can help to remember that you receive new mercies every morning. When you are getting dressed, recall that I have clothed you in garments of salvation. Because you wear my robe righteousness, you are on your way to heaven! This is an incredible act of mercy - snatching you from the jaws of hell and putting you on the path to Glory. Nothing you face today can compare with this mercy- gift of eternal life!

DEVINE APPOINTMENT #7152023

DEVINE APPOINTMENT #7152023

Over a decade ago when I worked in the photo lab at Target during the Christmas season I met this beautiful couple, the Putnum's. Because my brain has no concept of time it seems like yesterday that I met them, however if I actually thought about it it was quite a few years ago that I worked at Target.

Today A friend had an awesome surprise party and there were so many friends and new faces there. Coming back outside after being in for a second or two I was greeted by none other than the Putnam's! Thanks to Facebook I knew a few things that I've gone in their lives but I definitely didn't know all the details. I'm super tired so I'll have finished this later

When this all started... consistency!

Looking at my blog(s), I started "blogging" on August 3rd of 2012. I have that in quotes because there was a time when I just called my login trees daily events and another time that I just put my blog entries in my prayer Journal. Along with name changes many things happened between then and now. When Bid told me for probably the 50th time that I am a good writer, I finally decided to take her up on the idea of writing and join AWAI (American Writers and Artists Institute). This is also known as Barefoot Writing Club. I had run into a fellow writer at Third Space Coffee during a TBI Survivors Meet  Up a couple times and saw that writing is actually "a thing." I honestly do not remember who she said she was writing for but I like to think that it was Barefoot Writing. I needed something to get me back in the groove of things as I already have a children's book published, I Can't Walk But I Can Roll, but that was published in 2012 and that's almost a dozen years ago! It's definitely time to write something new. Especially since so many kids that I read my book to asked when I would publish something else. It saddens me that it's taken this long for it to happen because some of the middle schoolers that I read my book to just graduated high school!

It just dawned on me that it took about 11 years after my accident to publish my first book and it has been about 11 years since publishing my first book to seriously get into blogging so at least I'm consistent LOL!

On the subject of consistency, I thought I might try to write 500 word blogs to start with and with this being the first one I've written since I decided that I'm only halfway there!

The Anchor Holds!

Some people carry big purses and some small. When I first got my purse it was not that big of a purse, okay it might have been a little bit big but it wasn't that heavy. Over the years I have named my wheelchair my hot rod. Not because it's speedy or my favorite thing to operate. I'm not sure that I'll ever be able to drive again or that I want to as I see how ridiculous some people behave on the street. With my wheelchair being my car I carry everything in my purse. Many people have expressed their concern about the weight of my purse so I do try to only carry you when I'm sitting in my car (wheelchair) however this does not always happen actually it's seldom happens but it has happened before.

As I'm begun trying to compile all my writings so I can put them in one spot, it seems like today is the first day that I actually went to my office (Starbucks) with the intentions of working on something to do with my writing. It was so nice of my neighbor / friend Sam I am to to take me to Starbucks realizing that we're both up at crazy hours and that I might want to go to Starbucks for a bit before attending other obligations.

I was able to get a lot of things done using my cell phone before Sam came to take me home. I found a lot of writings that I started years ago, before and while I worked at the school that I should be able to finish sooner or later. Ask for getting ready to leave Sam wasted my purse into his truck and explained how my purse is like an anchor. Instantly I thought of the song The Anchor Holds!
