Ok now..my beautiful sunshine is starting to fade away..but that is ok..I really enjoyed it for the past 2 weeks..I see some clouds and they say this afternoon or nite it will rain rain rain...I guess it was time...lol..
But, I didn't let it stop me this morning..the cool breeze felt really good..I went back to the track and did my walking..yeah..did I tell ya..I started last week walking the track..and this morning..I managed to do 3 miles..yeap..3..thought I was dying afterwards lol..but I did it..I am really tired of these pounds and I am going to get them off..yeah baby...8lbs down and many many more to go..lol..
I have to say how much fun I had the other nite..on our stream party..it was really fun..I even had some new folks visit and I visit their pages..was great..Good idea having the Saturday music fest...love it..
Now came my Sunday...It always seems that on this day..the evil one works the hardest on me..Guess cause he knows that I will be getting up and going to my Lord's house and doing my Interpreting..which I love to do..well anyhow..I wake up around 7:30am and oh my goodness..my back and tummy are hurting..feels like a bladder infection coming on..I know it is..with all the Mr.Pibb I drink...but..heck..how come it don't bother me the nite before..and now just cause I am going to church..yeap..the evil one is really tempting me to stay home...like he does every Sunday..but ya know what..I said..please let this pass..get behind me..and yeap..once again..it worked...and even my 14 year old came with me in the morning instead of waiting till evening..
I started interpreting for the deaf like over 10 years ago in my church..it was my Mom who got me started in it..I was like no way was I going to get up in front of all these ppl and do this..espeically since it was in my own town and they would all know me..lol..but then after I got started..I loved it..I always loved music and I really don't have a voice for singing..but..I can sing with my hands pretty good if I may say so..lol..well at least the ppl seem to enjoy it..I think I am my own worst critic..for I always find fault and room for improvement on me..but I still love doing the songs in sign language...And yesterday...they sang the song "Holy Ground"...Man..was it just beautiful..and I loved every moment of it..doing the SignLanguage to it..I felt it deep inside my soul every word they sang...Surely the presence of the Lord was in that place and in me...yeah baby...
In the beginning..I got paid to do this in church..actually for many years...I was told it was best to accept the pay...it was ok..I needed the money..but I always felt bad about it..just didn't feel right...but I always listened to everyone else..Well..with everything going on with me and how I am trying to take charge of my life...I finally said the heck with what others think I should do...A few months back..I stop accepting the money for doing it..the interpreting in my church..I just stop signing the book..and let them know that.I will no longer be accepting the money ...And it feels great...Now..I am truly using my gift the Lord has given me to give freely..Now..when I am there in church..I feel free..no longer feeling like I am on the job..no more..I wanted to do something for the Lord without anything in return..and I have done it..Yeah!!!!!!!!!!No..please don't think I am bragging..I really am not..I just feel so good...another brick is lifted off my chest...
Besides..I still go out and interpret for pay with other things..just not with my church..
Well there ya go..a sum of what has been happening in my lil ole life these past few days..My prayers are with all of my stream friends old and new...may you all have a blessed and safe day filled with all goodness...
