Day 4- Self Explore
Well when I decided to start this job of mine I never thought I would have to take a day and have it on me with God. I thought that if I took a day for myself it would be selfish but really it wasn’t. See lately I have been down becuase I was feeling like no one wants to hire me and honestly I was being selfish….I was throwing myself a pity party everyday and it was not good. And my husband looked me straight in the eye at the end of Day 3-car love and sais “STOP IT, YOU ARE BEING SELFISH!” I got like all women would….I got defensive…..but he was right I was being selfish and I was thinking like the world revolved around me even though I was doing good things for others I wasn’t really putting all the heart and love into it that God calls me to. So day 4, was self-love more like self exam with God. I spent the day with my family on the beach swimming but spent it listening and being in awe of who God is. I was making a hobby of smiling and realizing i’m too small to think of myself….the world is way bigger and there is more in this world then me. Needles to say it was a day I Changed Myself….
This picture I took in my bedroom, the circle is the everlasting love that God gives us and He is the light that shines so bright in our lives. The mirror is a reminder to always reflect the light, Jesus Christ.
Day 5-Simple Acts
I love to go food shopping…..it is always fun and challenging. It is really challenging right now for us but I know that God will open a door soon or not….it is completely up to Him. Well anyway, I was out doing my shopping at the local Aldi’s (this place rocks for food prices) and decided that this would be my job today. It was very crowded (memo to everyone if you don’t like crowds avoid Aldi’s on evenings on Fridays) and really I don’t mind well, I overheard a lady that kept asking where on the biscuits and no one was helping her so I turned around and helped her find the biscuits. After this the lady asked if I could help her find the beef and sure enough I did. She was such a sweet old lady….I would call her grandma and God’s love rocks becuase it sure does give courage. Well after checking out there was this cute family of five and the little ones where getting tried and were ready to go and I noticed that the family was searching for more money to buy some bags after they already got their food. I realized this so I gave them all my bags, they tried to pay me but I wouldn’t take the money. The payment for me was the children’s faces and them seeing a stranger be nice and hopefully someday they will do the same. As I was walking out of the store I heard the couple say “That was really nice and no one ever does that anymore.” It really wasn’t about me it was something that I know that God would calls us to do….and it makes me sad to hear the couple say that “no one ever does that anymore” what ever happen to loving one another in this country…..I know not everyone is selfish but just think of the little things you can do now that can teach the new generation. And I hope that the children will remember what they saw me do and that the parents will also notice to and do the same….. Speaking of parents, my terre haute parents, Jen & Sean taught me something to do at Aldi’s a long time ago and I do it now everytime….You leave your quarter in the cart for someone else to use it….(thanks for teaching me that simple act of kindness) You know what it shouldn’t be “I CHANGED SOMEONE” it should be “GOD CHANGED SOMEONE!!!”
