3:56 pm : at my desk, exhausted
Today was a day. I’m not sure if I have the energy to go walking but I do not want to neglect it either. So am now having lunch.
And I got a box of chocolate!! Truthfully, so did everyone else in the department. Lol. The Chief sent for everyone, which was nice.
Thank you for your strength. Always needed but especially needed today. Thank you for the calming spirit that enabled us to resolve issues.
Thank you for chocolate…and rum. Rofl. Someone gave us a bottle of Baileys. It’s just there, but it was kinda funny and unexpected.
Choosing Myself/Still Alone – Naomi Raine
It’s funny the songs that randomly show up in my feed. Though in this case, it’s not “my” feed as I’m not logged in. It’s an interesting song, “I’m choosing happy, the real me.” And I am, choosing to love myself. And also choosing to love Yahweh. And choosing to love my soon to be spouse wherever they may be. Though this seems to be I’m loving myself first. So not the case. But right now I am leaving the multitude of files on my desk and going home. Yep. Home.
6:00 pm : Considering how did my days get like this?
It’s not fires, just a lot of work. Work work, Church work, Home work, Ministry work. Getting out of debt – Prayer.
Romans 15:13 – May God, the source of hope, fill you with joy and peace through your faith in him. Then you will overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

1 Corinthians 2:5 – so that your faith would not be based on human wisdom but on God’s power.

Luke 18:1-8 –
1 Jesus used this illustration with his disciples to show them that they need to pray all the time and never give up.2 He said, “In a city there was a judge who didn’t fear God or respect people.3 In that city there was also a widow who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice.’4 “For a while the judge refused to do anything. But then he thought, ‘This widow really annoys me. Although I don’t fear God or respect people,5 I’ll have to give her justice. Otherwise, she’ll keep coming to me until she wears me out.'”6 The Lord added, “Pay attention to what the dishonest judge thought.7 Won’t God give his chosen people justice when they cry out to him for help day and night? Is he slow to help them?8 I can guarantee that he will give them justice quickly. But when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”

Luke 18:7 – Won’t God give his chosen people justice when they cry out to him for help day and night? Is he slow to help them?
Daily wisdom for work.

Balance in life.
8:44 pm : Going to sleep
What am I thankful for?
- Praying and Sharing testimonies.
- You are good. I am loved.
- I got chocolate!! (and I gave away ¾ of it).
- Peaceful (hopefully) resolution from the incident last week.
- Recognising that the devil is trying to distract me with work. But I will find that balance that is needed.
Thank you for being an amazing God. I love you. Yahweh, remember Mark. Strengthen him in you. Confession – I pray that he finds a wife who is for him. Keep him Yahweh. Protect and provide. This is my prayer. Amen.
