Thank you Lord for Your blessings on me

So much has happened that has kept me from my journal so before I get into it all I will say that yesterday and today I have eaten below 1500 calories. For exercise yesterday I mowed grass for an hour and today my exercise was spending about 4 hours on the phone and walking while I talked.

I talked to several of my church sisters and one in paticular is always such a blessing to talk to I actually call her MY Patty. I feel God gave her to me because she is such a blessing to be around she simply glows with the love of God.

I might have told you before I write devotions and give them at different churches. Some months ago I felt the movement of God telling me to write about the power of words. My mom had just had such negative things to say about my devotions that I had quit writing or going to give the devotions. Even though I knew God was prompting me I still did not write it.
Becasue of what my sister had said, I had again felt I needed to write it, and I was getting my thoughts in order about what I should say.

I got a call this morning from a lady at a different church and this is what she said.
"Last month I lined up someone to come a give the devotional and God let me know that He wanted you (me) to come and give the speech. I did not know how to cancel with the other woman but she called this morning and told me she could not come. (by this time I had chills going down my back) God again told me that He wanted you to come and give the devotional."
God was already working on me telling me that the speech He had given to me is what I would be speaking on.

I came to the computer and typed out what I felt He wanted me to say. It is short but that is ok. I prayed about it and I feel that is exactly the way it should be.

God is so wonderful
I know now why I had to go through the bad moments of knowing how my sister felt about me. God needed me to tell someone that He is still in control.

OH and my friend the one that I call MY Patty is going to play the piano and sing the Easters song "Thank you Lord for your blessing on me" I feel so honored to be asked to speak and I feel so blessed to be able to hear my friend sing.

God bless you all
May you be safe and have sweet dreams
