I MISS TALKING TO YOU HERE

BEST VALEN---- SINGLE’S AWARENESS DAY EVER with my church family! …even if all the lovers did have me blubbering. I’m just blessed to be able to be happy for people who are in love when I’m not. Excuse me, I need a tissue.
CONGRATS TO BEN & KRISTEN! CONGRATS TO JOEL AND BERN ON 1st V-day AS HUSBAND AND WIFE!
I wasn’t sure how I was going to make it through the day, and believe me, it was hard getting started. I felt yucky before I left the house and by the time I got to church and our Messianic Jewish Pastor Shawn sang to his wife a song he’d written for her, I was in tears. Not even just because of single awareness day. I’ve been without a car and now that I’ve found one, I impatiently did an e-check which created a delay in the payment being processed…even though the money was taken out of my account the next day. So now the seller has to protect himself and not turn over the car yet, which is going to even further delay delivery because the car is coming from out-of-state. Sigh. Add to that time having to get a smog test, and a DMV check on my one day off a week…I’ll be mobile again hopefully by mid-March. Well, Single Awareness day ended up great. Me and my sweetie, and some of our church family dined together at one of my favorite eateries - “IN & OUT”. Afterwards we ended the evening at the Griffith Observatory. MARVELOUS, literally! I fell asleep watching Mos Def’s great performance in “Something the Lord Made”.
I think that most of us know, even when we aren’t consciously aware, that the struggles we continue to have are the things with which we continually struggle. The challenges presented to us on a regular basis allow us exercise in an area where we need strengthening the most. I continue to need exercise in practicing patience.
I woke up early Monday morning and moved my TV away from the wall and disconnected all my electronics so that DirecTV could bring my upgraded equipment and connect my stuff to my new HDTV. Those children of God cancelled my appointment but failed to cancel notification and confirmation of said appointment. By 10 am I decided not to wait until the end of the window, and called them. Woosah…goos-fraba… All this was just another test of my patience. Praise God I’ve got rehearsal and performances every night this week since I won’t have any television til next week, and then TV can keep me company until my car is smogged, checked, and registered… Life is good! It’s all apart of His plan and I’m going to exercise patience, and faith, and grow in grace knowing that “all things work together for good to those who are the called according to His purpose.”
Oh yeah, where I’ve been meditating on getting new headshots, I’ve now come across enough people to have photographers close enough and affordable enough from which to choose. Now to expand the resume! Be blessed all!
