I’m free to pray and read my bible. Oh yeah, I was free to do that already, at any time with no restrictions. I’m free.

One of the things that my husband, Fred and I have been doing during the Coronavirus and the shelter in place order is working on puzzles together. We work on them whenever we have time or whenever we feel like it. Sometimes at the same time and sometimes separately. Here's some of the puzzles that we have worked on thus far. FRIENDLY BIRDS This is first puzzle that we did. We started on our puzzle path with this one on April 1st. It took us three days and it was 500 pieces. Ordered from Amazon. BRIGHT LIGHTS BIG CITY, NYC This is our second puzzle. It was 1,000 pieces and it took us four days to complete. Ordered from Amazon. CURIOUS KITTENS This little circular puzzle was fun and tricky. Fred didn't care for it so I worked on this one alone. It was 350 pieces and it took me two days. I picked this one up from the Dollar Tree, for a dollar. SHARK WATERS This one was a bear, super hard. It was a Super 3-D puzzle with 500 pieces. It took us six days to finish. I didn't work on it nearly as much as Fred. The image on the pieces changed depending on how the light hit it. For that reason neither of us cared for it much. Plus every piece was cut into the same shape, but we got it done. Ordered from Amazon. Thanks for checking in today. Here in Pennsylvania the stay in place order has been lifted. If you decide to go out and do things that you haven't done in the last few months, because you need to or are just ready to get to it, PLEASE BE SAFE, WEAR YOUR MASK AND USE SOCIAL DISTANCING.

STAY SAFE The Coronavirus
Wash and pray, as well as, Watch and pray Sanitize and Sanctify yourself before God Cough, cover your mouth and Cleanse your heart Quarantine and Quiet yourself before God Rest and Read God’s Word Stay in and Stay close to God Inhale and Increase your faith Exhale to release the stress Exalt the Lord our God always Happy Mother’s Day to all of the moms, grandmas, great-grandmas, great-great-grandmas, stepmothers, mothers-in-law, foster moms, mothers in the faith, and all others.
Today is the day that we celebrate women of different races, classes, ages, and cultures. Today is the day that is set aside to say thank you. Thank you for loving, caring for, teaching, guiding, feeding, and protecting me. Today is the day that we show gratitude, buy gifts, send flowers and cards, go out to eat, talk, and spend time together. Cherish your time together, but not just on Mother’s Day. Make the time that you spend together count and the gifts you give meaningful. Be present and helpful when necessary and/or possible. God gave us mothers and wants us to honor them. Your mother may not be here today, but honor the memory that you have, even if it’s only the day that she gave you life. God is pleased when we love our neighbor, but I think he is especially happy and proud when we love, honor, and respect our mothers. “So Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms, grandmothers, sisters, aunts, nieces, cousins, in-laws, wives, daughters, friends, and neighbors. May God bless you all.” There has been an awakening, a revival, a renewal in my mind and spirit. My wings have been clipped. I’ve been set free, free to live and to live much more abundantly free to be the awesome me He created me to be, but for sure with humility and with respect for who He is and for what He has done and is doing in me. Fear vanishing and confidence reappearing and knowing that I am enough the way He created me. But knowing that He is molding and shaping me to fulfill my purpose in life. Not worrying about what people think because they don’t understand the plan that God has for me, because I’m just beginning to understand myself. Not worrying about what people are doing or not doing because God has a plan for their life also and He will guide them through their process. Let Him and them work it out. Pray for their strength, wisdom and peace but, let them live their life. Not to wait for or look for approval from anyone to do things the way you see in your heart that need to be done. Not to try and do things the way someone else does because that’s their way. Not to wait for or look for approval to be me. And not to try and be somebody else because that’s impossible. Why would you want to because God made me and made them who they are. It’s called diversity, he made us all different. Knowing that I’m good enough. Good enough to be here, here in this place, at this income, with these people, with my knowledge, wisdom, input, impact, understanding, love compassion, concern, help and brilliance. Who knew? God because that’s the way He created me: brillent, talented, smart, funny, healthy, loving, kind, a wife, mother, friend, sister and His beloved child. I am enough. Coming to the knowledge that I am made in the image of Almighty God and that’s important. Realizing that I’m not perfect, I don’t have to be and I never will be. All I have to do is be the best me. Realizing that I don’t have to do anything to be seen or heard, because whoever needs to see me or hear me God will have them in the right place and at the right time. He will set the stage. All I have to do is be me, Just me, without, an extra performance, without showboating, without making a scene or showing out or trying to show someone up. Your gifts will make room for you. That’s what the word of God says in Proverbs 18:16. Leave it to Him. He’ll do a much better job. Don’t be TOO BIG or too small, just regular, just you. Your future is bright with promise. Actually the future is now. So now is also a magnificent place to be. So rest in the Lord, be at peace and He’ll give you the desires of your heart. Live, Live and I say Live. Enjoy life. That’s what’s suppose to happen. It can happen every day. Just allow yourself to go there, to be there, to feel it and enjoy it. Amen Realizing that I don’t have to be jealous or envious because God made me good enough. And what’s for me will come to me if I live, if I apply myself, if I believe, if I have, just have the faith of the grain of a mustard seed. Life can, will be and is good. I love loving, blessing and helping and really that’s all of our life’s purpose. SING, DANCE, PRAY, PRAISE, PLAY, WORK, COMMUNICATE, LOVE, LIVE, GIVE, SHARE, LISTEN. BE YOU, THE BEST YOU! Written June 2, 2017 It is just amazing to me that the words that I wrote almost three years ago are resounding in my heart and mind as if I just wrote them. Whatever, your truth is hold that in your heart and live it.
