God is GOOD!

All the time! He is my provider....waiting tables is kinda like casting lots. You know, in the bible all the time how it talks about casting lots? You can choose your section, you can even choose your customers sometimes, you can choose to work hard and even go that extra mile, but you really never know how much money you're going to make until it's all said and done. The other day I picked up an extra shift for breakfast, which I used to work 5 days a week, but almost never since I've been back. It's amazing to me how many breakfast regulars remember me. I was gone for 2 years! Anyway, I had a table of 6 guys, their bill was $42, they gave me $60 and told me to keep the change. Then I had one guy, whose bill was $7.50, when I picked up his money, I swear he got out a $10 bill, so I said, "I'll be right back with your change.", took it over to the counter to make change, saw that it was actually a $20, went to give him his change, and he was gone! To me, that was an angel in disguise. Stuff like that happens to other servers all the time, but not me. I noticed I've been blogging a lot about money lately, I guess that's cuz we don't have much of it right now. But that's ok...we'll make it through...I think. Hubby started a new job this week, but it turned out to be total BS, not what was advertised at all. But at least when that didn't work, he was motivated to go a few other places looking for some work. I'm sure he'll get something good going next week. Until then, just remember, God is good, all the time! (All the time, God is good. :) Stick around for the upbeat part - that's how it sounds in my head.

Now this is frightening!

I recieve a daily devotional email from a member of my church, and this morning, he relayed this link that he got after his devotional was sent out today.
I am glad now that I can say I really don't watch Oprah that much. I had no idea she had gone this far. I thought she was just sort of self-serving, doing nice things, great things, even, to help those without, using her massive millions for good, and I always kinda thought she was closer to an atheist-state than anything else. To know that she is reaching a whole lot of people with wackiness like this is frightening.
Kudos to the woman in her audience who stood up and defended her faith by reminding Oprah that there IS only ONE way. And when O said that when she heard our God is a jealous God, that something seemed wrong with that.....hello? She was just way off base with that line of thinking. Well, like I said in my dream, "Keep your eyes on the skies!"

I had a dream....

about the return of Jesus. I love those dreams! I've had 2 or 3 that I can kinda remember. This one last night (actually this morning) was kinda "technicolor-Willy-Wonka-type". But it was still really neat, and the thing I love most is that my emotions are just full force. I kinda feel like I'm on a roller coaster ride cuz I'm so excited.
I was in a college campus type place, walking around, and I remember thinking about how bad things are, how corrupt our young people are, and someone else walked by me and said, "Keep your eyes on the skies! He's coming back soon!" So I got somewhere that had like, a big sky-light-courtyard kinda place. The clouds started turning all kind of colors then it got dark as night for a few seconds and it was lightning, and it was so dark I had to hold on to the rail on the wall. Then there was a bright light and a rainbow started way up high and came down to us and there was really loud music and I saw Him coming down the rainbow closer and closer. He kinda had his back to us, then as he got closer he turned around and looked down at us. Instead of the cliche white robe, he was in a purple coat and his hair was dark and he was wearing a top hat, and I thought, 'why does he look like that?' (Hence the Willy Wonka type thoughts- I haven't seen that movie lately or anything) Then I realized it was just a dream, but I was still excited about it all. So any of you dream-analyzers out there can comment. There was just so much excitement and anticipation when the rainbow was coming down, cuz I knew what was going on and people around me didn't. It's just so weird when you dream and everything is so real.
Ok, I guess that's all there is for now.
I've been workin, workin, workin.... hoping my husband gets a job SOON!
