Praise Series : Taking Some Time for Me

Well, I just have to give God the Praise. On Sunday I was on the internet and it suddenly went out. That meant that the phone and cable were out as well. Not good for a person who works online.

I thought that maybe I had missed a payment and waited anxiously for Monday so that I could call my provider.

I was distraught and upset at first because I am just really getting myself refocused on business and it has not been an easy road because I had so much streamlining to do. I was just getting into the real groove of it all.

Well before I made the call, I received a peace that I needed to take those days and focus on some things I had been neglecting, like myself. So instead of being upset, I just gave God the praise and went on about my week. I took the time to do my hair, take my kids to the library, cook some collard greens, and plan for homeschool through the end of the year. I also started back on the names of God study I have been doing with my 14 year old.

It was a blessed 4 days.

I had also found out that it was some sort of tech issue that they could not get to until Friday. My first thought was to call everyday and see if anyone could come, but the peace just stayed with me.

My husband know how to do this sort of work as an Electrical contractor, but he gets home so late he forgets. Well tonight he didn't and he found out that someone had been stealing our cable power. Now you know a sista was hot, but I just calmly called my provider to make them aware of the fact that the box had no lock and that someone was stealing our cable.

I am just grateful it was not too bad of an issue and my husband made sure to take care of the cable from the thief with a hammer, so they can't steal anyone's else's cable.

God is good, because I saw so much that needed to be done it my walk. I gotta go take care of LaTara for a while and let God love me like He wants to.

Praise God through it all and look for the blessings and miracles even in the midst of the mess.
