Didn't sleep well. Half the staff or more were out at work. Came home exhausted- headache, sore throat...Peanut butter left out, open bread, milk carton empty...hubby definitely home. Still, it was a good day. The work was intermittent- both copiers broke so my job was totally hindered. Still, I let it all go and stayed positive.
The Lord answered some prayers for me today. I'm a finalist in a writing competition that I entered...well that is the Horse Rescue Center called "Touched By An Angel" is. My actual name is not on the essay but its mine. I wrote it alone. I win nothing but the horses get FREE Hay and the Ranch owners get money. I'm a finalist- there are six of us- from all of the entries from all of the states in America. Needless to say, I'm VERY happy about that. I hope it wins for the Horses at Touched By An Angel. I wrote it with a serious handicap. I actually know very little about horses at all, never mind Horse Rescue. I decided to go with that. I just told the truth and stated my purpose. I'm actually kind of impressed that we got this far, but since we did- I'd kind of like to take the prize for them, you know? So I feel good about helping the animals today.
I'm donating a few books to a women's shelter for Domestic Violence through an old friend. She and I found each other on facebook. I babysat her two boys when I was like twelve I think lol. Anyway, we got to writing back and forth and it turns out she works for a place in Florida Ocala area called CASA. The director just okay'd it and offered the PO Box address. I'm going to mail out five books. She asked me to sign them too. Of course I will. I hope that the story lets the women escape there own lives for awhile...in a way that's exactly how I escaped the Domestic Violence in my home as a child. It was brutal....
So, I'm moving forward and keeping the faith, keeping positive and holding strong. I know HE is listening. There are signs ALL over the place...ask and you shall receive...I'm asking....
No breakfast but coffee...I'm not in the mood. I'm not sure why. Lunch was left over shrimp and cucumber slices. Snack was an apple. Dinner was a green salad with tenderloin beef chunks and sauteed onions. No dressing. It was a HUGE one. I was hungry. A tangerine finished the night at 8pm. I'm feeling good! I want you to feel good too. Let go and let God take over.... it works. See you next blog.
