I had numerous meetings sent to me to schedule yesterday morning, so I completed what I could, then headed off to Mesa for the meeting. I took my time getting there and since I wasn't really on a time schedule, could visit with those at the security desk for a little while before heading back to where the meeting was going on. I went in the room and my boss came over to give me a hug. :-) I am special. She went back to the meeting area and I pulled up a chair at a side table and pulled out my computer to work while I waited for the lunch to arrive. And, about an hour later, lunch arrived on time and I brought it back and set it up. They broke for lunch and the sandwiches that were left over, I brought home. We had some for dinner and the rest are in the refrigerator and I'm hoping they will still be good today. There were only perhaps 4 sandwiches cut in two. I did ask Ms. Vicki if she wanted any, but she declined. Guess what is for lunch today!
I was pretty tired last night and went to bed around 8PM. Hubby just doesn't understand I'm not as young as I used to be; I'm not as active, mentally or physically, as I used to be. I do tend to get tired more easily and if I am tired, I should be able to go to bed without a lot of comments. He stayed up for awhile. I was still tired and sleepy when I got up this morning... and yes, I did fall asleep after he brought my coffee in. Some mornings I just can't help it; I need that extra half hour or hour of sleep. Which is why I'd like to change my morning routine... but need to figure out what to do.
Hubby will be heading off to his Bible study this morning with his friends. Whoo Hoo! As I mentioned before, he was in this group a few years ago but when we moved, it was too far for him to drive to. They are much closer now so he is thrilled to be a part of that group. We've known these men for years from our former church. I'm glad he's going; he is lost during the day with nothing to do. How one can stay on his computer or phone all day, I have no idea. Perhaps it is because I have to be on the work computer all day. I am on my phone at night more than I like to be...and I'm going to put a stop to that. I feel like I waste so much time - when I could be reading!! - if I am on my phone just skimming through social media. Anything important, someone will let me know, right?
So looking forward to this long weekend. My daughter has invited us over for Memorial Day to swim and a cookout. I love a good grilled hamburger. And potato chips. I suppose I should ask if I can bring something. That would be nice.
Sunday is Pentecost Sunday. Tonight one of our churches is having a Pentecost service. I'm not sure if we will be going; hubby hasn't mentioned it. I may ask him later. I heard that last year it was so awesome with 40 different nations showing up at this church and everyone was praying in their own language; was singing the worship songs in their own language. Just like it was on the day of Pentecost. Everyone heard in their own language the words of God. I'm sure that is an experience one wouldn't forget.
But today.... I have meetings to schedule that I didn't get done yesterday. By 4PM I was tired and decided to just shut the computer off. I was 'done'. It shouldn't be too bad; I'll get these meetings scheduled this morning and since most everyone will be in 'long weekend' mode, hopefully the afternoon will be fairly quiet. I still need to check on my computer, but I can at least step aweay if I don't have things to get done.
There is something tomorrow morning, I think... but I'm drawing a blank right now on what it could be. Maybe I'm thinking of another weekend.... all my days seem to be running together.
John 3:17 (NKJV): "For God did not send His Son into tnto the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved."
I watched a video the other day where someone was commenting 'would they have to give up smoking pot if they became a Christian?' and the response was 'no'. So they rephrased it.. "would I have to give up smoking anything if I became a Christian?" Again, the response was no. So then they were asked if they clean up before taking a shower? Jesus doesn't tell us we need to 'clean up our act' before He will accept us..... He accepts us just as we are - dirty, filthy people, full of sin - and as He works in us, we CHOOSE to give up the things of the world... just to be His. He clothes us in robes of white righteousness.... because He died for us, we are washed in His blood and are clean, when we accept Him. Oh that we all would turn from the worldly things we hold on to and let Jesus be our satisfaction! He truly is all we need.
Praying for you today, that you will pause and know that He is God and the things of this world, man-made things, are not. Make Jesus your God, not things made by man.
Blessings!
