a simple life...

just about to go shopping and now my aunty rang to speak to my mum...gives me a moment to do a quick post. My mum is over from NZ and soon the whole family will invade for our cousin's wedding.

I am looking forward to the wedding...(LORD, please bless the day and let it be full of joy and peace so that we will all be reminded of how much we love each other.)

This is going to be a very challenging time for me with my mum here. She takes up a lot of my time and it's during a 'busy' period in my life. God must know because I only have one more week of our nite class.

This is a good opportunity for me to practice balance. I am feeling it because times like this in the past my man starts closing shop and it's very hard to read how he's feeling. It becomes all about my mum and family. Especially since he's so busy at work.

The LORD and I are still working on simplifying my life but at the same time stirring me to act and be single minded about the specific purpose he has for me. Hopefully, in the next few weeks as we look more in depth into each purpose and put together some action plans I will have a clearer picture.

contd...after shopping:

cooking dinner and get this phone call for a job. It starts tomorrow. It's weird how I was just looking at simplifying my life and now I have a job.

+ve:

• go to bed early with my man instead of staying up late with my mum
• it answers a major prayer for me about getting a job for the next three months, to help my family with their increasing debts, increase our tithing and offering at church to be more of a kingdom builder...which is flexible and allows me to connect people with the LORD.
• the job is with one of the ladies from church (someone I have been thinking the LORD wants me to connect with - she's great)

Now back to simplifying my life...........
