It's Friday already

Man, I haven't blogged all week! I can honestly say that I have been busy at work, and at home. I got to work this morning and it was craziness non-stop, here's an example of how my day started:

Dilemma #1-Checked my e-mail as usual and of course from 4:00 yesterday until 9:00 this morning I had 38 e-mails, yeah 38. Well I was looking for 1 email in particular from my sisters' friend who is in Kuwait. She only has about 6 days left over there (thank God), anywho well she is purchasing some jewlery for me and a co-worker. I get her e-mail and she wants us to Western Union the money (we were initially supposed to send the $ to her husband stateside), our order is right at $700 now you all know Western Union will dig all in ya pockets. Okay, so I call Western Union to see just how much it would be to wire the money to Kuwait....$71 (lawd), so I e-mail ole girl to see if it was still possible to overnight the $ to her husband, ok that's fine she e-mail her home address and phone number. I'm okay now, so me & co-worker go to bank and then to the post office to overnight the $ to hubby, I aked the teller at post office to verify that this package would arrive tomorrow b/c some areas do not overnight on weekends, she then ask for the zip code, heres goes I look on the e-mail and guess what.... the address but NO zip code. So me and co-worker get on cellphones call back to the office to have another co-worker map quest the address for a zip code. Okay mission accomplished money on the way to hubby and we should have our goods within the next 2 wks, she will mail them once she is stateside in 6 days.

Weekend- Well I'm trying to decide if I want to go to the PPO (Professional Photographers of Ohio Convention) tonight or tomorrow when I get out of class. I have to well I should go for several reasons: I'm interested in learning and gaining all the info I can, I want to see how they judge a photo, if I go I get extra credit for 2 classes (camera skills & history of photography). I really need to do laundry, like really bad, like 2wks in the hole bad. So I might just go home and do laundry tonight and save the convention for tomorrow.

Life- I have been doing alot of praying just to understand and get clarity on some of the things going on in my life. A couple of weeks ago I was down, down to a place I have never been or experienced since I gave my life to Christ (Jan 03). My advice to anyone that have a releationship with Christ is to stay prayed up, have multiple-daily converstions with him, stay in the word, express your doubts, fears, insecurities your inner most thoughts with him. I say this b/c I got so caught up in life and the things that I was doing and the smallest crack allowed the enemy to come in and play on my emotions, to control my thoughts and to influence my mind. I was listening to Bishop Fred Price he was talking about how the enemy trys to get you with TIS...Thoughts, Ideas and Suggestions I thought that was so simply put. That's all the enemy can do is bring up a thought, give you ideas and offer suggestions, its up to us to follow through on any of it. Most people think that to sin you have to do outward things such as sex, lie, cheat, steal or kill, but it's not those things that hinder us the most. I'm just now understanding the scripture (paraphrased) "Lay aside every weight and the sin which doth easily beset us"; doubt, fear, depression ect, all those things are just weight and will eventually cause us to sin. It's funny b/c as I mentioned earlier I have been praying alot within the last 2 wks and have set away time to spend with God. So the other night, Wednesday night to be exact I started class again I checked out a Macro lens from school so as soon as I got home I did some shooting and then I watched Americas next model, browsed the internet for a while and before I knew it I was knocked out. It's like 3:20 in the morning and I hear this noise, the noise my phone makes when you turn it on/off, mind you I never turned my phone off so I open my phone and what do I see "Did U Speak 2 God 2 day?", that is my greeting when you turn my phone on. I jump up, turn on my CD player and Fred Hammond "I need More of you" is blasting, I immediately start praying. God is a jealous God just as we are as humans, you know when we are used to attention or someone calling us at a certain time and they don't we are wondering what is going on and is like let me call him/her to see why they haven't called, well that's exactly what God did. All I can say is thank God for his mercies and longsuffering! I know I was a bit long-winded on that but I had to tell it. So until later my Fathers' children.
