Day 252

To Dear Me

I am doing this blog in the early afternoon. I just finished cooking for the week. I made sautéed chicken breasts, breaded pork chops, brown rice and corn on the cob. I went to 1030 gathering today and connected with 2 of my longtime friends. The message was good. In a half hour I have to go to work. Everybody here is sleeping except me. Yesterday I was very busy and I accomplished everything I wanted to do.

Day 251

To Dear Me 

I woke up early but started my day late today.  I had bloodwork to complete.  So I didn't do my morning routine until I finished there. Then I went food shopping. I ate fast food for breakfast..then made Sharon breakfast. I just finished bible and devotional readings. So much to still do today. I'm having lunch with Josh then playing games..then going to the Journey.  Then taking hollen to my BFF birthday party.  Then finally home to bed. Whew what a day I'm having.

Day 247

To Dear Me 

I forgot to post again. Today was pretty good I guess. I woke up to the doggie alarm clock. I made breakfast and had an extended prayer time before I decided to go to the Journey at noon gathering today. It was a strong message about if we want to live in the kingdom, we need to follow the king. It hits me right between the eyes. Then I spent time with Josh. Then time with Sharon.  We went out to Pizza Hut for dinner and just got back home. Now I'm sleepy and ready to go to bed.

Day 243

To Dear Me

I forgot to blog again earlier today. I'm trying to break this bad habit of forgetting to blog every morning.  Today was ok. Light work at the beginning of my library job. Then I assisted in helping out the program director with her STEM project. It was all about kindness and becoming a kinder person. Then I gave her a tour of the library. Then I talked to my coworker till it was time to go home. I went food shopping again and came home. Now I'm at Sharon's therapist office. Afterwards we're going to Perkins for dinner. I needed to marinate the chicken when I get home. But there's a good chance that I'll be too tired to do that when I get there.

Day 235

I have posted in a while now. I have forgotten to do this very important discipline in my life. These past few days have been very active. I've been working and taking care of things food shopping wise. Today I have my meeting with one of the highest level pastors of my church. Even I am not sure what I'm going to say. So I'm praying the Lord's work to be done through me.

Day 234

I missed posting yesterday on the 4th. It was very chill. I spend more time in prayer yesterday. I slept late and somehow forgot to post. The dogs were barking a lot because of all the fireworks yesterday. We tried watching A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood but they were too loud. We had fried hotdogs and chips with dessert to celebrate the 4th. Today I'm working both jobs just like Friday.

Sometimes God is silent regarding his commands. That's why reading his word is crucial to right living.

Day 233

To Dear Me 

No therapist session with Mike. PT therapy instead.  My body is sore and tired also. I'm working both jobs today. I'm trying to stay motivated and positive about that and everything. Sharon is feeling unhappy and depressed so I'm trying to be more sensitive about her and her situations. I want to be around people but Sharon doesn't. Thst frustrates me. I also want to watch dvds but Sharon doesn't like the videos I rented. Rocky situations ahead.

Day 232

I'm going to Jersey to be with my family for the 4th of July weekend.  I was off so I decide to spent it with my family.

I also told my pastor Brad that I was no longer going to be affiliated with the Journey. I told him it was because of all my difficulties with the middle management there. So the cats out of the bad. Now I guess everybody will know. Not sure what kind of backlash it's going to cause. Oh well.
