Tuesday Talk ~

~ you know like a Ted Talk but really it’s Ali’s rambling 😁

Today is going to be a busy day ~

• Coffee with Ada
• Finish the laundry
• Move back to the trailer, which leads to
• Sweep this big ole house LOL
• Feed the critters for the last time, at least for this week!
• Pick up the grandboys ~ Chris & Treyson from basketball & Alex from summer fun!

plus all the things I am trying to make priority in my life as a really focus on self~care! as well as other must do’s each day! LOL

• time in the Word ~ done! Focus today was Joshua 1:5 & 9, Matthew 11: 28-30 ~ focusing and reminding myself I am never alone, I can be strong because Jesus is always with me! I am never alone so I don’t have to carry my burdens by myself
• shower ~ if you haven’t dealt with depression you may not understand why this is just not a given ~ which is done! Can’t go to coffee all stinky LOL
• brush my teeth ~ another one related to showering but hey it’s done and my teeth feel wonderful!!
• write a blog post ~ working on that now 😏
• work on my old journals ~ transferring them to the laptop
• crochet a bit on a blanket project I am trying to get done by Friday this week! We will see!
• make Ron’s lunch for work
• and anything else that comes to mind 😀

One thing I wanted to share from my time in the Word this morning is how God confirms things for me…last night in a conversation with a group of other RV’s who desire to share the Lord with all they come into contact with I was reminded throughout how important it is to acknowledge God’s timing, not Ali’s or anyone else’s time schedule.

As I begin my day my mind is full of the bills that are due this week and God knows what those bills are and how much is needed to fulfill our obligations and He continues to provide in ways I can’t imagine. Two weeks ago I was asked to make some beanie hats for a friends daughter’s patient so I got busy and they got sent off last week. I knew a check would be coming and it arrived yesterday! So into the bank it went (thank goodness for mobile deposits!) This morning I thought I had better update our Quicken account, praying nothing has bounced at either bank…God is Good ~ so far nothing has bounced ~ yea! Jesus and it looks like Ron’s paycheck should hit the bank just in time this Friday! So I am reminded that I know Jesus knows what our needs are and what the checking accounts look like so there is no need for me to worry or stress about the finances…I can’t do anything about it anyway so I give THANKS Jesus for helping to calm my anxiety and reminding ME that HE’s got this!!!

Well it’s time to mark a few things off my To Do List so I will close for now!

Keep your focus on what you need to and don’t stress about the stuff you don’t have any control over!
