As we begin a new week, I would like to wish you a Blessed Sunday and a fantastic fun-filled productive week. Last week for me was full of disappointment, frustrations and just upsets. Although I know, next week will be better as I see the things I did wrong and that I was letting the Devil into my life when I shouldn’t have. I could even feel myself slipping back into Depression and ended up making myself sick. Which isn’t fair to my family.
I can tell you that the things that happened last week happened because I made plans not only for myself and the blog but our personal life I left the Lord out of the decisions I made. Jobs request would come in, and I just sent back replies without thinking of others or how it would affect David and his job. I didn’t ask either Charlie or David if they wanted to attend I just assumed if I said we were going to do it it was going to happen.
The “DEVIL” taking over my life and my business. Even though I accepted the new jobs and David took off it wasn’t Gods will for us to attend the events. Because Thursday morning when David took the day off so we could attend a Blogger event on the way there the Van kept messing up, and I became afraid we wouldn’t make it to Dallas where the Museum we were heading located. I ended up telling David we needed to go back home and not even try and make it to the event.
The car was the straw that broke the “CAMELS” back, David could tell I was upset, and I was mean and ugly to both David and Charlie. Even though what happened wasn’t their fault. On the way home, we stopped at David’s parent’s house, and his dad had our Van taken into the shop for us and paid for them to look at our car.
Now don’t get me wrong I am grateful David Senior did that for us although he didn’t have the money and wasn’t able to get his truck inspected because he gave us the money for our car so David could get back and forth to work. As well as taking Charlie and me to the places we wanted to go.
Once David and David Senior get the car to the Garage they tell us we would have the car back by noon on Friday which would have allowed us to attend another Blogger Event we had been invited to participate in in Richardson, Texas and it wasn’t God’s will as the car wasn’t ready.
I waited until 3 O’Clock on Friday to call the representative and let her know we wouldn’t be able to attend this event either. I am glad I did as we didn’t get the Van back until Saturday and there is still trouble with it, and David is going to have to work on it this week during the evenings once paid. As I sit here and look back on last week, I Pray to the Lord we can get the Van fixed as it isn’t safe to drive.
Although now I have decided I’m not going to stress over the events I missed or the car not working. Or being able to get to the Grocery Store to get the food I need to begin my Keto Diet. I have learned these things aren’t up to me to make, they happen. It is up to God and what he wants to happen.
So after sitting her feeling sorry for myself most of the week, I have regrouped, and I know that I can and will succeed in all I want to do as long as I put it into the Lords’ hands. Before accepting jobs, I need to Pray about it, and the same goes for any Diets I want to partake in or businesses I want to start.
I am a mom, wife, and business owner but first and foremost I am a child of God, and with today being Motivational Sunday I knew I needed to not only Breathe but to believe in the Lord and things will work out. So this morning if you have been worrying or stressed take the time to Pray and I am sure like me you will feel better and calmer.
Thank you,
Glenda, Charlie, and David Cates
