Advent Day 6

 Take a walk with me. Today is Sunday and we were thankful to attend church at Bethel.  Bro. Dan Davis was the guest speaker and he really encouraged us today. He really pressed to reach out to God and realize who you are in Him. To know that God will take care of your need and situation and to not give up. 

This past week I have watched humanity and the family of God come together. The love has been overwhelming to observe, it humbles you.


On to our daily Advent Adventure.

Aldi Chocolate: same milk chocolate creamy smoothness, this time in the shape of Santa.

Coffee: was Organic Colombian....mmmm smooooooooooth to the last drop. 

Pearl's Dog Treats: Heart shaped sweet potato flavored-she was ready and waiting for her treat.

North Fork Chocolates:  Creamy milk chocolate in the shape of two bells tied with a ribbon. I cut these candies in half-they are very small and delicate. Today's broke in three's when I cut it. RJ who is normally a dark chocolate person, ate two pieces because it was just that good.  I highly recommend that if you are in Suffolk County, NY to take a stop at North Fork Chocolates...their chocolatier has a gift. 

LEGO: Today's Lego was a tie fighter....RJ tried to explain to me the history of which Star Wars movie it came from and I just didn't get it. I am a Mandalorian Girl and then my knowledge is limited from there. RJ, however knows a lot and he's enjoying the daily discovery. 

Isaiah 40:3-5:
“A voice of one calling: ‘In the wilderness prepare the way for the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be raised up, every mountain and hill made low; the rough ground shall become level, the rugged places a plain. And the glory of the Lord will be revealed, and all people will see it together. For the mouth of the Lord has spoken.’”

Take a walk with me.

The Sound OF Freedom-My Story

Image
 The Sound Of Freedom was released into the movie theaters on July 4th 2023. A friend made me aware of it. I decided to watch it. It's based off of a true story of a brother and sister who were rescued from child sex trafficking. This is not a movie you take young children to. I do strongly recommend that every person who is old enough, to go and watch it. This is very real and it's happening in your world. I think it's time we wake up. Why is this so important to me?  Let me tell you a little of my story. My birth dad abused me as a child. He was also a part of a drug trafficking ring. He was also a part of child sex trafficking. He did this all while being a faithful saint and minister in the church. When I was in 5th grade, I started fighting back and slept with a baseball bat by my bed. He decided he didn't like that and one day he picked me up from school and took me for a very long drive. This was before cell phones. He didn't say a word, he just drove. Eventu

One Month

Image
 RJ and I have officially lived in NC for one month. The people here are very kind and nice. Southern food is absolutely delicious. I can easily find a good place to buy a delicious taco. Coffee places are aplenty. It’s been wonderful to reconnect with old friends and even more wonderful to make new friends. Soon, I will start teaching and RJ will enter into 12th grade. We are currently looking at colleges. I can’t believe we have come to this stage in life. We miss our friends and family in NY. We especially miss Bethel. Our new church home is a gift. I am so thankful for them. Slowly NC is starting to feel like home.  God is good.

When Grief Rolls In

Image
 Grief can rise from the most unexpected times and places. In December, it will be a year that our beloved Sis. Vickie went home to be with the Lord. She has been on my mind a lot lately. Today, as my son and I were cleaning the church, he asked me about washing the baseboards in the foyer. I had a playlist playing on my phone and as he asked, the song changed to a song that Sis Vickie often referred to believing God was going to heal her of ALS.  I just stood in the foyer, mop in hand, and tears started streaming down my face. I remembered finding her on her hands and knees cleaning the baseboards so that it would be clean for a Sunday service. I remembered getting on my knees with her to help. She taught me almost everything she knew. She was going to teach me how to remove the light bulbs from the ceiling, but we never got around to it. She loved Bethel. She prayed fervently for the saints who filled the pews. She wept for those who no longer attended. She taught me how to forgive a
