How is your life, on a scale of 1-10?

Sept 29, 2017

Saturday, Sept 23, I attended an outreach training at my Church, which was awesome!  My hostess went with me and she enjoyed it too.  I was reminded that our Ministry, as Christians, is Reconciliation.  That is reconciling others to God, by Christ Jesus.  I learned that our lives should be the example to draw others to Jesus.  That our unconditional love should be the motivation for our encounters and that the Word of God, used appropriately will plant seeds.  Sometimes we plant, sometimes we water, but God gives the increase in His season, in His time.  One thing every Christian believer should know, is the sinners prayer, so that we can lead others to Jesus when they are ready.  If we have eternal life, we should share it with others.  We are God's plan to spread the gospel!  We share other things with people, why not Jesus? 

Example of a Sinners prayer: Romans 10:9

"Dear Lord, I am sorry for my sins, I believe in my heart, that Jesus is the Son of God and that He died for my sins, and rose from the dead, so that I may be saved.  Thank you Lord Jesus, for saving me and giving me eternal life.  In Jesus name, Amen."

I attended Church today, it was great to see my church family again.

I am feeling great!  Still no pain, no medications and no issues.  I am moving well but not overdoing as I know I am still healing from the surgery.  I went to church Sunday and had a wonderful lunch at Ruby Tuesday's, with a Rev. and his wife at the church. We had a good fellowship.  I then took my "Grandson's" little girls back to their Grandparents house after they attended church with him.

Monday, Sept 25th

I got the oil changes in my car and they vacuumed and washed the windows which was badly needed. The "Hum" that I got for my car (that tells me what is wrong with it) has let me know that I need the catalytic converter needs replacing but my mechanic said it could wait, 

Tuesday-Wed, Sept 26th-27th

Still feeling great.

My car (CRV) hood latch was broken since this Spring and I went to the "Used Parts" store to get another one.  This Spring they couldn't find one but now they found one and I got it installed.  I could close tthe hood but it wouldn't go all the way down until now.  It cost me $79 for the part and $60 to have it installed.  Not bad for peace of mind and knowing that the hood won't fly up, when I am going lickety-split down the road.

Later, I went to TGIF Friday's, where my Step Granddaughter is the manager to have dinner.  It was good and Vegan, except I succumbed to

an Oreo Cookie Ice Cream desert.  I asked if I could have a candle on it adn if he could sing Happy Birthday to me.  Well, he said they didn't have a candle and he couldn't sing the Happy Birthday song because it was copyrighted.  WHAT?!  So much for justifying my desert.  I ate it anyway, unjustified!

My Step daughter took me out for my Birthday dinner to a Japanese Restaurant.  We had a great time fellowshipping.

THE FIRST DAY OF THE REST OF MY LIFE!

I received a call from Eric Worre's Coaching team.  I had signed up last year for a 45 minute Coaching call, as a part of a promotion they had, and now, which is the perfect timing, they called.  WOW!  I now know my next assignment!

Sometimes in life we just go along, go along, go along and suddenly, something happens to make us aware of where we are, what we know, our value, our purpose, our dreams, our possibilities, how we can impact others, God's plan for our lives.  It usually begins with the awareness that we already possess what we need.  We already have the seeds of greatness in us, it is usually not perfected yet.  Just like most of us are born with the ability to walk.  With patience and perseverance and strength, we eventually actualize what was in us all along.  WE CAN DO THIS! 

We often spend (waste) a lot of time, energy and strength comparing ourselves to others, looking at the past, (and judging our future based on it), trusting our "feelings" (which always change), and not trusting God, (who never changes).  We don't trust the Holy Spirit to be our helper and we make a royal mess of our lives, trying to do it ourselves.  THAT CAN CHANGE!

OK, that was the "Grammy Whammy" of the day!!

Getting back to the Coaching call.  I was asked a series of questions that made me realize that I already had the answers.  The Word of God has it all, the answer to every question, every challenge, every issue in our life,  We just need to trust it and walk in it. 

Here were some of the questions I am asking based on their questions.
