Unexpected Things

 


Unexpected Things: 

When life sends you in an unexpected direction and everything is new.

When your plans unexpectedly take a drastic turn.

When ministry is presented that pushes past your comfort zone.

When laughter becomes a part of your life again. 

When peace is a constant friend.

When your walk with Jesus is sweeter than it’s ever been.

When new things unfold.

When your heart is healed.

When your mind is made new. 

When joy finally comes in the morning.

#Thankful 

God is good!

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.

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...

A Plan And A Future

Image
  I have had several people ask me when I was going to start blogging again. I wasn't sure if I should or not. I am going to try to start this up again simply for the few who do read it. Church life in NC is very different. It's a good different, not that church life in NY was bad. I loved Bethel and the NY churches.  The church we attend has two services on a Sunday, RJ and I like to help and try our best to be at both services. Every other Sunday, we help out at a Home Missions church. There is so much more that I am not going to list, but serving the church for me, is the breath that I breath. If that was all I did, I would be the happiest. Of course that is not an option, the bills need to be paid. I am now a little over 2 months into being totally and officially single. I am happy and content. There are days when it's hard. There are days when I want someone to grow old with. There are days when I am so thankful that I am single. I think this is normal.  Overall, I a...
