On the Hunt Again..

When your hours have been cut and you can barely finish your job. The question you ask yourself is: 

  1. Do I take a break and rest for a few minutes?
  2. Do I push through the pain and finish what I started?

I gave a short laugh and clocked out. I know I am given two breaks, and I am taking one. Why should I push myself for a company that doesn’t care about me?

I am grateful for this job, but I am still saying, “Thank You Jesus for this job, but thank you for a better one.”

I had to cut back on my words, when a non-believer told me I should stop looking for a job online, and go work at a call center. This one I know is known for a high turnover, and I just told her I am good. I will find the right job for me.

Philippians 1:3 NIV [3] I thank my God every time I remember you.  https://bible.com/bible/111/php.1.3.NIV

People will tell you what you should do, not caring about who you are or what you want to do. There’s a saying, “think before you act,” and I will always do what’s best for me. I don’t play follow the leader anymore.

Some people think they are helping, but it’s up to you to do what’s best for you. People will not pay your bills. People will not help you if you are ever in need. Okay, let me reword that, not everyone is out to hurt you, and you need to know who is real and who isn’t. 

Time to eat before I get back to my job hunt.

Hot Lemon Water

I may not be able to enjoy this drink every morning, but I am happy I can enjoy it when I can. I remembered the first time I tired it. The lemon made me close my eyes and the ginger overpowered the turmeric and black pepper.

The second time I made it, it had too much black pepper, and I couldn’t even get past two sips. I didn’t give up and now it’s just right. I add a little honey when my throat is hurting as I did this morning. If you like a hot and spicy drink try this. 

Enjoy. Bye IV Now, LD

Not Giving Up..

When you give your word, even though it was an impossible task to do, and the second you realized you might not be able to do it. You start doubting yourself and trying to come up with a way to get out of it, but is that who you are?

John 17:17 NIV  – Sanctify them by the truth; your word is truth. 

https://bible.com/bible/111/jhn.17.17.NIV

I don’t know if I am able to crochet 19 scarves in 7 days, but I will never know until I try. I will do my best to keep my word, because that is the person I want to be. Someone who others can trust to keep her word.

Back to my project. I have a few minutes before I have to get ready to go to service.

There’s Still More..

It seems like the longer I am crocheting, the less I have completed. 5 done – 19 to go. I am not giving. I have 6 more days to end this crazy crochet scarfs project. Time to get back to crocheting, every stitch counts..

What was I Thinking………

When asked what you could do to help out in the women’s shelter on Thanksgiving day. I was thinking maybe two or three people would like to learn, but since no one could give me an answer. I left the yarn that was donated to me for this project at home and just went in there with the thought of helping with the Christmass decorations.

I was surprised when someone asked about the amount of yarn I brought to show anyone. 

Me        : “I didn’t bring any, because I couldn’t get a number count.” Member :   “Good, because no one wanted to do it.” Me : “Okay, someone gave me some yarn. I can make some scarves. How many do you think I would need to make?” Member : “Only 23” Me          : Okay

I have no idea why I thought I could crochet 23 scarves in 18 days. My co-worker said she would do one for me. I got two made and I am working on two more now. It’s December 5th, I should get back to crocheting, because December 15, will be here soon.

I don’t know if I was told this or I heard it on TV, but these words are true. Think before you speak, because I want to keep my word, but my heart may be bigger than how fast my hands can move.

Bye IV Now, LD

P.S – Sorry, this is a little off, but I am way too tired to try to figure out how the “Me” and “Member” line up. Time to eat, crochet a few rows, and call it a night…
