Day 178

To Dear Me

I forgotten with all that's been going on to post yesterday. I had a even better time last night at my jgroup. And I'm planning on telling part of my testimony next week. I also want to be more diligent in talking to others that do not know God about my testimony and how Jesus makes all the difference in my life. I'm hoping for better days ahead of me. I think I'm finally climbing out of this valley and moving from the wilderness into the promised land.

Day 177

To Dear Me 

I did great yesterday at the interview. Now I wait for the results. I should know something in 2 weeks. I'm so thankful for the abundance of prayers everybody has given me. Now I need to defeat the fear and anxiety I'm feeling so I can walk out the victory Christ has already paid for. 

Take Care, 

Alfred

I'm not sure why the enemy is attacking me in these areas. But he's already defeated and I need to remember that.

Day 176

To Dear Me 

Today is the day of my first interview, the library specialist position. I have practiced and done my vocal exercises. I'm feeling confident and comfortable in my interview preparation. I've got my change of clothing all ironed and waiting for me in my car. My appointment is at 1145. I have my tribe, my family and friends all praying for me. I've read my Bible and all my devotionals. I'm geared up for this opportunity.

God has gone before me and after me. No fear can touch me.

Day 175

To Dear Me 

I'm at the therapist office. I had a great weekend with baptism and the Goddaughters 1st birthday party. I'm picking up my notepad and extension cord to take to my fiancée house. I'm hoping that I have the strength to do everything I need this week. To God be the glory!

Day 174

To Dear Me

Getting excited for baptism weekend at my church. I'm stopping off at my house to pick up my recertification paperwork for food benefits tonight. I might just stay and make dinner with my roommate too.

With so much going on, I must be prepared for everything. I hope I don't forget anything. 

Day 173

To Dear Me,

I'm so stressed over my finances right now. I'm trying to make it for two weeks. I might have to ask people for money again in order to pay all of my expenses that I have. I have no choice but to trust God and his word over me. I'm getting baptized on Sunday and looking forward to that.

God, it's the midnight hour and I must praise you for what you've already done in my life.

Day 172

To Dear Me

Off today. I'm posting in the afternoon. I did plenty of things. Spent some time going over my interview material. Hooked up my fiancée cpap machine. Made both breakfast and lunch. Also went to podiatrist. Then to the Hudson center to reapply for food stamps. They called me for a phone interview. I have to go back on Monday with an additional paystub from this Friday, my rental paperwork and my phone bill. It will be right after my therapist appt. Tonight I need to get my extension cord, my dress clothes, my bathing suit sandals and dress socks, my notepad, and my shoes for Sunday and Tuesdays interview. I think I'll get most of these things on Saturday night. 

Take Care,

Alfred

I got a lot going on these next few days. I hope I remember everything. 

Day 171

To Dear Me,

I got up early to take my roommate food shopping. But we really didn't get a lot of food because there was plenty of stuff in the freezer. I also decided to apply for food stamps tomorrow after my podiatrist appointment. I'll have more time that way then trying to cram it in this morning. I'm early at work and talking to all of my coworkers. I increased my giving to the Christian radio station I listen to. But I'm really believing God that I can get at least one of the two library positions I'm interviewing for.

God knows that I've been faithful at my job and in my life. I pray that his timing is right now.

Day 170

To Dear Me 

Something has got to give. I'm starting to worry too much about my finances. I need to be intentional about getting another part or full time job. I'm concerned that I won't be able to pay all my bills with what I am making now. I need to take action and stop relying on others to help me. 

Take Care

Alfred

God cares about me and so do others. I just need to be strong and courageous in my faith and trust God.

Day 169

To Dear Me

I saw my therapist and went to reapply for food stamps. I'm have to go to the bathroom again, even though I've gone twice already. I'm very stressed over my financial status right now. I'm just dealing with the accident reporting. I have to do so much stuff and not finding the hours during the week to do it. I started preparing for the interview I have next Tuesday.

Alfred

Something to think about 

God created me perfectly and I need to start appreciating myself and self-care better.

Day 168

To Dear Me

I haven't posted in a week. So much has happened. We went to Jersey for Easter. I got into an auto accident. My dog bit my toe. Thunderstorms with hail came through Delaware. I painted a dnd figure with Josh at Newark Library. My fiancée and I are doing well. My job is busy. I have an interview for a Library specialist position coming up. Now I'm going to my church for the Sunday gathering.

Alfred 

Something to think about 

I'm posting not just for myself but for others. It's my pocket testimony every day of God's faithfulness. 

Day 166

To Dear Me 

Blessed Good Friday. Jesus died on the cross for us. Slept in today. Went and had bloodwork done. Then had breakfast at Bob Evans with fiancée. Now taking time to relax and do stuff like writing and reading. I'm mentally gearing up for tonight when I'm serving twice at my church. I'm hoping and believing for more good things to come. I'm hoping that someone I gave an invite will show up sometime during the holiday weekend.

God gave his best by dying on a cross for us.

Day 165

To Dear Me 

It's way too hot for April. I'm sweating all of the time. We are nearing the final start of the Holy Weekend. We're having communion tonight at our jgroup as we recognize what Jesus went through on his final days on this earth. I'm trying to draw closer to God this week and from this tune forward. I'm considering getting baptized again at the end of April at the Journey.

God is always there and as we draw closer to him, he promises to draw closer to us.

Day 164

To Dear Me

Again, I'm not keeping up on my postings. My weekend was very busy with gaming, church and wrestling both Saturday and Sunday night. I spent time with my son on both Saturday morning and Sunday afternoon. He went with my gaming friends to see the latest Dungeons and Dragons movie. It was very well done and we all had a good time together. I managed to squeeze some small amounts of time with my fiancée over the weekend as well. My roommates were happy because I made dinner both days for us. Then we watched wrestling together. I saw my therapist today and he was the one who reminded me about my postings.

God is in the midst of everything I'm doing. I managed to share invite cards with many of the people I was close with.
