Waffle Cookies and Whipped Cream

 


Tonight, I had the joy of attending a baby shower for a beautiful family that recently started attending Heaven View. They are from another country. We had some amazingly delicious foods to eat. We also had waffle cookies and whipped cream. Their little boy came up to me and decided I looked like a teacher and would have some answers. He said “ Let me ask you a question” He wanted to know the names of everything on the table. He grabbed a waffle cookie and as he was enjoying it, he wanted to know why there was a can of shaving cream on the table. I with much delight taught what whipped cream was and put it in his cup. He put his face into the cup and put as much in his mouth as he could. This was followed by a great exclamation of “ This is Ahmaaaazing!”  Later he asked if he could see inside the church, so I took him to see the sanctuary. He yelled, this is so cool!  He was pure joy and I loved every minute of getting to know my new buddy. God is good .

RJ and College

Image
  RJ is a senior in high school and will be graduating in a few months. He applied to several colleges and received acceptances from 3 in California, 3 in New York and one in North Carolina. We heard from the last two on Friday. He has been given some amazing offers. I am so proud of him. He has worked very hard. One school is pretty much a full ride. It's now up to him to decide which state he wants to study in and what school he wants to do it in. He has a lot to factor in. I am praying for him as he makes this choice.  I want God's best for him.  I love my son and it's been a joy and honor to watch him grow into an amazing young man. 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...

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.
