Why are you in a hurry? Do you think moving fast is the best way for you to get to your happy ending? Whatever you are trying to get to or move from, going too fast you might lose something important along the way. A list isn’t just for shopping. Think of the things:
You want to do………..
You have to do……………
You like to do………………..
** Side note: Once you have your list. You will write next to it how you can do that item. If you have to go back to school, save extra money for a trip etc etcā¦
Your list doesn’t have to be long and once you have done everything on that list, you can start another. If you couldn’t cross everything off of your first list, add it to your next one, and hopefully you can cross it off your list this time.
Proverbsā¬ ā21:5ā¬ āNIVā¬ā¬ [5] The plans of the diligent lead to profit as surely as haste leads to poverty. https://proverbs.bible/proverbs-21-5
I am once again taking a class online, but I am determined to see this one through. I know it’s going to be a long and tiresome road, but crossing that finish line will be worth it in the end.
They say you shouldnāt count your blessings before it happens – then again I believe Words are powerful.
Then again it also goes to how strong is your faith. Do you see with your eyes or do you see whatās unseen? I know there will be a better day for me and I know what I have to do to get that special place. You can day dream about it or you can actually do something about it.
āāRomansā¬ ā10:8ā¬ āNIVā¬ā¬
[8] But what does it say? āThe word is near you; it is in your mouth and in your heart,ā that is, the message concerning faith that we proclaim:
My eyes are open, my mind is clear, and my Smile is real. It doesnāt matter if the world cannot see my Smile, for it’s NOT meant for everyone to see. I may have barely opened that closed door, but it is opening.
It will not be easy, but well worth it in the end. That door will not be able to close again. I am taking each step slowly making sure every āiā is dotted and every ātā is crossed, because that door will stay open.
Itās been said, āIf you donāt want to be judged by others – then donāt judge themā– or something along that line.
{} ā Do not judge and criticize and condemn [others unfairly with an attitude of self-righteous superiority as though assuming the office of a judge], so that you will not be judged [unfairly].
I know I shouldnāt let others get to me. I thought I was done with hurtful opinions from others. These people do not know me and do not want to know who I am. They are only watching me from their point of view.
People will always see what they want to see – they donāt want to know you for who you really are and that is always a sad thoughtā¦
No one is the same and in this way of thinking – we all go to church for different reasons. I go, because I want to learn more about the Word and live my life accordly.
Some go just to be seen, they hear what they want, and choose how they understand the Word that fits into their world.
I may not have a lot of fancy clothes, but they are cleanā¦.
Let me tell you a true storyā¦.
Person – āMe and my friends didnāt like your shorty short skirt you wore to church last week. She is about your size and thought you could use these.ā handing me a bag, smiling as if she didnāt just insult me.
Me – āThank you.ā I said taking that bag from her.
Person – āWhatever you donāt want or like – you can give back.ā
Me – ā Thanks again and have a good trip.ā
It was a hot day and I was beyond tired after working for hours on my feet and then waiting in the sun for this good and bad deed. I may have smiled as I said, āThank You,ā and walked away. I didnāt actually recall what was said to me until I got home.
The skirt I had on was just a little over my knee and I had a sweater to cover my legs when I sat downā¦ā¦.
I was so hurt that I didnāt want to even look in the bag, but as that old temptation song goes, āAin’t too proud to beg,ā or was that a Four Tops song? Sorry, a little before my time – wait a sec and I will find out who actually sang that song. I was the Temptations.
I did see a few items I liked, but most I wouldnāt wear in the house. Okay, I calmed down and accepted this as the good deed it was meant to be. The very next week I was once again reminded that people are going to be people. I was asked to move, because someone wanted my seat, claiming it was hers. (No, seats are not assigned in my church).
I guess she thought I was going to just move to the next seat. She was surprised I got up, left the row, and moved a few seats back. I was so close to tears that I could hardly hold them in. The praise team was so moving that I was out of my seat and dancing for His goodness. I was there (at church) to hear the Word and thatās what I was going to do.
The more I listened to the music and allowed myself to understand the lyrics. I couldnāt help, but smile. I was slowly returning to the person I am today. I am More than what people see and I will keep on Smilingā¦..
I started watching videos and learning about different states across America. I found new places I would like to visit in reality one day. My next stop is Mississippi. I hope I find something interestingā¦ā¦
{} Mississippi State of the United States of America
Mississippi is a state in the Southeastern region of the United States, bordered to the north by Tennessee; to the east by Alabama; to the south by the Gulf of Mexico; to the southwest by Louisiana; and to the northwest by Arkanasas. Mississippi is the 32nd largest by area and 35th-most populous of the 50 U.S states and has the lowest per-capita income in the United Statesā¦ā¦. Wikipediahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mississippi{}
Madison Mississippi caught my attention. I thought I would click on a video or two, then look up some more info online, because I was hoping to see something new.
The few up to date videos were about where to and where not to live, and that lost my attention all together. So, I am going to start looking elsewhere, because I am sure there will be something to see and do in Madison Mississippi.
{} Madison, Mississippi City in Mississippi, United States
Madison is a city in Madison County, Mississippi, United States. The population was 27,747 at the 2020 census. It is part of the JacksonMetro politan Statistical Area. Wikipedia{}
There were only 4 things listed and only 1 caught my attention, āSugar Magnolias Gifts & Boutique/Art Gallery,ā but I couldnāt actually see it for myself. The website wasnāt working. No, I didnāt read the reviews. I didnāt see the point.
Tourist Attractions in Mississippi 2023 – 10 best places to visit Mississippi 2023. Mississippi is a diverse state filled with a wide variety of tourist attractions and destinations. {}
This video showed a lot of different places you can go and do, but –
side note: I was going to start looking up more info, but I am not going to force myself to do that. I am sure there are some interesting things to do and see and I am just not finding them.
I am ending this with more questions than answers and I am okay with that or am I? {Itās 2:24pm now. Will one more time}
I have been putting this off for way too long, and today I thought I would try once again to learn more about working on a computer. There are free learning tools online. I went with AARP, but I soon ran into a problem.
I needed to work on Microsoft Word and wasnāt sure if this computer had that program. So, of course I asked google a question, and ā¦ā¦
How to Find Out If I Have Word Installed on My Computer,ā by Caroline Jackson. {}
This didnāt really help..ā
Same question, reworded, and again the above article came up. If it didnāt help the first time, it’s not going to help now.
I am going to have to go toĀ school and get it done. I was trying to save some money, but I am so OVER working for someone elseās company. There is a world out there and I want to see it. I cannot do that, if I am working paycheck to paycheck and NEVER seeing any light.
I will just have to put off my trip to a beach (Well now I want to go to Japan) and learn how to get this computer to work for me. After all, I am the ONLY one who canĀ STOP ME!

There is no fear in love [dread does not exist]. But perfect (complete, full-grown) love drives out fear, because fear involves [the expectation of divine] punishment, so the one who is afraid [of Godās judgment] is not perfected in love [has not grown into a sufficient understanding of Godās love].
Jesus replied, āEven if I do testify on My own behalf, My testimony is valid, because I know where I came from and where I am going; but you do not know where I come from or where I am going.
When I was at work yesterday, a training manager kept coming into my work area micromanaging, and I was trying to not let him bug me. I finally asked him, āWhat did he want,ā because he couldnāt talk. He tells me what he wanted, and I am like āI am working in this tiny spot, but he wanted that spot.ā I almost clocked out, but I didnāt.
That person didnāt see me and treated me like I was nothing, but I know who I am and where I am going. Head held high, Eyes are fully opened, and like the title of one ofĀ Ms. Diana Rossās songs. āI AM COMING OUT!ā and one day I will be paying my bills my way. (I just realized that was a title from another song and “My Way,” is a Usher Raymond song title) I may not listen to that music anymore, but I still remember here and there…
