Topic: Day to day stuff
Today I had many emails... most of them from the Finks telling one thing and then another and then retelling just to make sure, that we were having a sleep over at their house Sat-Sun and how they came to the decision etc. Betsy emailed asking if I wanted to do anything so I called her, got her voicemail, and left a message. She called me back a bit later and I went over to their place for only about an hour before I had to leave for work. It was a good hour though. I got there before her and made my rounds, I felt like I should wait on God before knocking or going in... So I sat on the steps and did not get anything. Betsy got there and I went in. I was very pleased to see Julie painting and almost giddy. On the way in, Betsy had mentioned something about it still smelling like a candle... I didn't understand and asked about it and she avoided it... Later I found out that someone had put flowers on their three cars, a candle (not lit for long) and some fake flowers at the front door... They all thought it was Thomas but haven't found out who did it for sure. As Kim was talking to Thomas over the phone, she asked him if he had done the yellow flowers the week before. I was not looking at her and mistakingly knoded. The real embarassing part is that I assumed that she saw me knod which she did not. A few seconds later, I made an even bigger mistake of confessing outloud in response to something Betsy said (I don't remember what it was) If you remember, put it on the comment line for me please. I was glad all they did was show their surprise and say SO IT WAS YOU! At that point I had to make it clear that I only did the Yellow flowers and not this occation. I was relieved when they didn't go into a lot of "Awe-thank-you's" because I was just doing what I was told. Durring that time, I also looked up the parable of the Sewer and the Seed where I found out that there were only four places that the seed fell. I had thought it was five so that it would go perfectly with Akiane's paintings of bears in the light, and Dolphins around a sunken shiny cross... In her's there are two groups that do not take in the seed. In the parable there is the path where the seed does not grow at all. In her paintings there are those who run away from the light/cross and those that are too selfish/hardened to notice it at all. The others see the light/cross but react to it differently. Link to this site I've been talking about of Akiane's Paintings and poetry from age 4-10 http://www.artakiane.com/akiane_art.htm#Akiane's Painting, sketches, and poetry I left for work and got there 2 minutes late which didn't matter because I had to wait forever to get the card from Alisha so I could clock in since I was called in to work not scheduled to work. I got 3 special tokens that I just found out about today, that Publix gives if you work 100+% as I always do. I found out that when you get 5 of these, you can hand them in for 5 dollars... I'm like... wonderful... how about a 5 cent raise every time? well anyway, I also found out that I have to work Sat. 3-9 and there isn't much of a way I could get out of it other they calling in sick which I will only do if I'm deathly ill... and can not function. So I will have to try to get off as early as I can to join in the fun at the sleep over. Not that I will be doing much different because I pray while I cook the chicken and clean up while working in the Delli, but the surroundings and the people at home group are much more condusive to opening the gates of Heaven, ushering in His presence, and doing some major Spiritual stuff. My co-workers are less inclined to speak positive things, and like to have a good time in other ways. I will shine forth.
