Monday Coffee Talk

What a BEAUTIFUL day it is! The sun is shinning and the birds are singing and I feel good. LOL Maybe it is because I got 8 hours sleep? I dunno? Whatever the reason, I feel good and I LOVE IT! LOL I usually get 4 to 5 hours sleep. How'd you sleep? Our challenge for today is to forget about your worries and cares. Stop laughing! I know what you are saying, "easier said than done" or "they are too important to forget" , or even "if you only knew". Well listen, I am there with you. I'm in the middle of so much right now, from a wedding, to getting my son, Torey into college, buying school clothes for my daughter, and being a Youth Director, but today, JUST ONE DAY, lay all your cares down, all your worries, let your mind be at peace and KNOW THIS, the sun is gonna shine again. These worries will pass. Sometime soon, these worries will be over and you will look back and say "that's what I was worried about?". Too often in today's society and with today's life, we worry and look at the bad more than OUR GOOD. If we will only learn to focus and see the good in our lives, we will see them more and live more positive! Let go of the cares and worries today. I promise you, WE CAN DO THIS TODAY! I dare you! So, who's up? What cha sipping on? Me? I'm LOVING this White Chocolate Mudslide Kim told me about last week! I found it Kim and it sure is good! Thanks for the heads up! What are ya'll enjoying today? Ya'll have a care free and worry free Monday! Love you all! On a personal note, I passed my ministerial licensure test and was presented with my Exhorter's License in last night's church service. Something I have been afraid to pursue and WANTED to pursue for 31 years! YES, I have wanted this since I was 10 years old. I told my Mom and my Pastor at age 10 that I knew I was called to preach/minister God's Word. This is a milestone in my life and I GIVE GOD ALL THE PRAISE! I passed the test the 1st time and this is VERY rare! Thanks for letting me share this.

Good Morning Randall, It is a great day to be alive. My granddaughter is in town, and I am enjoying her wonderful joy. At one she is just full of life and energy. When I watch her play, I forget about all my cares. Congratulations on your licensure. That is awesome. Praise the Lord for His goodness to you, and His faithfulness. I am sipping my Folgers French Vanilla. I just love it. Have a blessed day. Oh, when is the big day for you and Lucy? Hugs, Trish

I find the older I get the easier it is for me to do this. I've already been thru so many things and with God's grace they always come out fine so it gets a little easier everytime.

Congratulations Randall on your licensure. I know thru your Christian experience the Holy Spirit ordained you long ago! You are a blessing. It has been seven years since my husband and I worked together in church ministry. I really miss it and rightly so since it comprised over 22 years of our lives. These last seven years have been a stretching experience for me, too. God has a Divine purpose for our lives, I know. Somehow He will pull the two careers together for me. Blessings,
