God Is Good

My editor is pleased with my most recent photos. One I posted last Thursday in my blog about Joy. Today's issue had two more photos he was very pleased with. So, I am progressing in my writing and my photography skills. LOL.

God keeps giving me the ability to learn quickly. Now, I need to sit and write some more to my story. But, the story of my life continues to be the gift God has been showing me gets better with time.

He does that ... surprises us with how much He has granted us in our abilities and helps us to see what we are afraid to see in ourselves. He pushes us to be better and for that I am eternally grateful.

He has been so good to me!!

May He be so good to you!!

Have a Blessed Weekend

The work week (our outside jobs) draws to an end and it is my sincere prayer that it is a blessed weekend for all. God Bless those of you who view this site. May He keep you safe.

So It's Been a Long Day

Today I had seven stories due by 10:30 a.m. and when I generally arrive at the office around 8:15 after picking up a police report, seven can be a lot. Thought I was doing good by typing three at home last night. Wrong! My morning was thrown off by three shootings that occurred during the weekend. I had to make three different calls to the PD. After turning in my last story at 10:45, thought the day HAD to get better. NOPE! Lord, help me but I had two night meetings tonight after typing up three stories for tomorrow's edition. May not seem like a lot. But, when you don't have lunch, one can get weary. Spent two and a half hours listening to our local school board and city council members discuss gang activity and school related issues. I AM tired. But, the mind is busy.
How many ways did the Lord bless me? That is my current question. Well, I was enabled to meet some people today whom I had spoken to via phone for years and/or months. I am probably the most informed parent who is not a board member or city council member in my community. And, my oldest son was able to sit with me through the regular school board meeting as I wore my hand out writing notes. :) There is something to be said in even the most tiresome of moments. We tend to take the little blessings and disregard them. What we should do is cherish them no matter how insignificant they may seem to the average person because we ARE NOT average. We are blessed children of God, chosen by Christ and loved so deeply that we will never really ever be able to grasp it.
