Wow God!!!

This will be a day I will never forget. I went from a truly low moment, to a day I'll never forget. I was fired from my job yesterday. I went to get my things today, because I won't be going there again. I'm VERY sensitive, so this whole experience has been rough. I've never been fired, and this has brought my self esteem down pretty low. My friends remind me that I am a valued person, and to hang on to that.
While I was feeling sorry for myself, God told me to call my friend who I haven't talked to in over a month. She has been having a rough time in life, and has been doing things that have worried her family and I. She is a very Godly women, yet she did ungodly things. She told me that she went to a church that cleansed her of several evil spirits. She said that these spirits lied to her about where and what God was leading her to do. So she began good, but the devil would twist it to make her do irrational things. Her family thought she was losing it. I frankly thought so too.She said it was very scary because the spirits didn't want to go. when they left she was limp.
She is so different, you can hear it in her voice. She is happy, at peace,sound mind, making sense in every sentence. I'm so happy for her. She has been this way for years, yet last week, she was truly set free indeed. Thursday I can't wait to see her. I'm going to give her a big hug. She has always kept her distance. Now she wants to hug me!!!! God is Good!!!!!

All is NOT lost!

Today, I got fired from my job. He called it "let go", I call it fired! It's OK though, God is bigger then that job any day. SO I will just move on. This seems weird, never been fired before. Wonder what God has in store for me next!

What a day!

Yesterday, my boss came in and yelled at me after I was off the clock. After I was finished working, I went in to the office to say goodbye to the girl in the office, and he came in and yelled at me for talking to her while she was working. He was yelling hard enough that his voice was loud, and his face was red, and the customers were standing there in shock. I vowed at that moment, never to walk in that store again. Later in the day, I get a phone call from the girl at work, that he is about to call me, I DIDN'T want to talk to him. But sure enough, he called, and pleaded for forgiveness. God tells us to forgive 7x70, and I've only forgave him twice, so I had to do it. He said he wanted me there and he was really sorry, really sorry, and please forgive him. So we'll see what happens. We have to learn to get along somehow. I hope it happens!

Chicago house pictures





I've just spent the weekend with my daughter. She bought a historical house in the south side of Chicago. It is called a bungalow, and was built in the 20's. My daughter inherited my artsy side and has done (can't think of the word) decorating for people for selling their homes. She got paid to do that! So I'm excited to see what her very first home will look like, since she can do anything she wants now, without any restrictions. There is even a sign that says historical area. The historical society will pay her if she makes it to the orignal look on the outside. Nothing has been done on the outside to harm the look of it, So she gets to just Pretty it up to there standards. She loves flowers too, so I know it's going to be cute!
Sunday Morning we woke to 2 in. of snow. Very pretty, but very unhandy for the movers. Arden installed a new furnace, air conditioner, garbage disposal, sink, counter top and many more odd jobs. He is such a blessing! I, of course started painting cleaning, mopping, and helped her pack the rest that needed packed. It was Not an easy visit, we were all tired, and then Sat. night, I got a bug. I was so sick to my stomach, nothing I did made me feel better. The trip home was many stops for me to "take care of busness" But all in all, much was achieved, and I can't wait to go back and help her some more.

Need advice

Today at work there wasn't much to do, so I touched up the mural in places. My boss handed me a check and told me.... "Next time you paint something, let me get someone to prime the wall for you. You wasted time putting all those coats on and charged me $50 more then I should of paid. I don't even get a paycheck because I had to pay you!" Needless to say, I'm angry. He also asked me how long I was planning on working on the wall. He said "I want you done at 11 and then go home" I'm having a hard time dealing with this guy. I forgive him, and then he does stuff like this. I've nicknamed him The TURD. Any advice???
