Thanks be Unto God for the Greatest day of my life ever. And when I rest tonight, I know
that tomorrow "will be The Same", especially if I wake up In His Great GloryLand. ♫

Today was a normal Sunday.
Yesterday was an amazingly good day. I walked into w*rk and Ashley told me "Shaun quit." Shaun was an older, very short guy with a massive ego and no tact at all. I didn't have to deal with him much, but I wasn't happy about any contact at all with him. Exactly zero people were sorry he quit.
I'm just glad I didn't have anything to do with him quitting. He quit because he called in Friday, and Saturday morning he found out he was getting a write-up and 90 day probation (just like the boss said we would get if we called out on a holiday and didn't cover our shift.) So I am Shaun free AND guilt free!
I was in the back getting trays and Ashley came by and saw me grinning. "What are you grinning about?"
"Oh nothing. I was just thinking about - now I wouldn't DO this, but just thinking about it - wrapping my arms around your neck and saying 'Honey, say it again. Say those words that make me feel so good!' 'Shaun quit.' 'Oh baby you always know just the right thing to say!'"
I eventually decided I should not be very noisy about being happy that he quit. That would be mean, and I don't HATE the guy. Mostly I feel sorry for him. Someone with that much pride, he will never learn. It is impossible for him to learn because he will never admit that anybody else knows anything. So he will never improve. That's kinda sad.
But I'm still happy. Not very loud about it at w*rk, but really happy about it.

my day was/is fine.
nice weather today, a little rain now, moving out overnight, another nice sunny day tomorrow!

This Shaun guy sounds a bit like a manager they laid off at my job like 10 years ago and i was going around the cubicles and playing this song:
I have a nice long day tomorrow with my sister and brother-in-law... they are driving me to my doctor's appointment. Hopefully the doctor can figure out what is wrong and that it's not that bad as this doctor seems very good and helpful. Then we're going somewhere to eat something before we go to our church for the course we each signed up for. I'm looking forward to learn at the course and perhaps meet people I can be good friends with. So it's a big day tomorrow.
My day was good considering I yielded to the Holy Spirit and have started to surrender and do so recently. I cooked so that the outcome for our health would be good and there will be no bad consequences such as buying bad food from outside. I also helped make my mom a drink she wanted and I feel good that I am starting to always be obedient to God.
I am feeling very lonely and discouraged unhappy. I don't know what else to do that I'm motivated enough to do. I am starting to really try my hardest to be obedient to what the Holy Spirit wants of me everyday so that maybe God will let me in with the fold as a saved Christian as I've experienced God not speaking to me or helping me when I've asked for help to be motivated and obedient and I can't remember any prayer that God has answered just because I and I alone have prayed for. It seems like he only will be close to people who are good at being obedient but not be responsive to people who ask for help to be obedient. I hope that God will tell me loud and clearly what He wants me to do tomorrow because I have almost nothing to do and I hope that God helps and speaks to me because I and I alone have prayed for it, not because someone else helped to pray for me because I have seen when others pray for me that God actually answered their prayer but not mine and mine alone.
It seems just aabout all of us go through a period or two with these feelings. It sometimes is the enemy tempting us to go away from our blessed Lord and Savior. Shoo him away in the name of Jesus Yeshua. Remember, it will not be you doing it, but the power of the name.. If you believe it is you, then you are not quite poised in attitude. Again, this happens to most of us,if not all of us. God be with you, always, amen.
"God works in mysterious ways." read the 'about' tab on my profile and you'll understand a bit more. for years while I was not saved I would ask for help guidance anything understanding, to know how I could be saved (split personality) and nothing. untill in 2024 I finally accepted christ as my personal savior,and, still, not every prayer is answered the same or at all, and anyone who tells you that every one of their prayers is answered is either a liar or has never prayed.
as he said, ironcally, me not seeing that until after I finished my own
working in retail i have to work some sundays so i cant attend church as often as i would like.using up some holiday leave this week has enabled me to attend and catch up with my closest friends.we have mild weather here in november which is a bonus to.
I need to get more vegetables today to cook for my mom and I. I also need to cook mushroom soup for my dad for tomorrow when I visit him. If I accomplish everything I need to do, I will be happy.
that sounds tasty pearlspring.i find cooking sometimes relaxes me.i like making homemade strawberry jam.just have to keep my sons mucky paws away from the strawberrys.
great news about your dad i hope is better forever! today was very productive as usual. completed Friday errands, fixed 2 problems on a chainsaw, worked on fixing a leaf blower, fixed a clock, prepped for a very promising antique deal next week, got groceries for my wife, made her breakfast which was scrambled eggs & North Country Clairmont bacon, read the Bible, won 5 chess games lost 2, worked at stoneware research, prayed, exercised, had my 1st drum rehearsal in over 2 weeks that being because my neighbor had a back operation & i was trying to keep quiet for her, went for a walk, played wordle & strands with my wife, checked on some other equipment, thought about Christmas gifts for my wife & now conversing on CC.
I am happier today. I managed to reduce to 2mg of my antipsychotic medication for 2 days now which is around my usual dose, and I am not just reducing it but a naturopathic supplement helped stop the worrying I had so that I might likely be able to wean off of it though I wouldn't be too surprised if I got off of it and then had to go back on it again, on and off.
Anyway, I get down if I find myself not motivated enough to be obedient enough to the Spirit but so far, I have basically done everything I was supposed to do and I felt blessed today for getting to have my drinks bought today and food and soup that I liked and tomorrow I get to have some more of it for breakfast.
I still have to work on 1.5% of my obedience to the Spirit, the hardest ones that require a lot of or more motivation, and that can take me a few days to come around to it. I'm not sure if my medication which causes me a lack of motivation currently can be an excuse.
