It's Friday!

Whoot!  It is Friday and I have a busy day planned.  I am in the middle of wiping the hard drive on an old computer as BHC will be having a hazardous waste collection day on Sunday and I need to get the big chunk of useless metal out the door (along with the monitor). 

I am going to a sweet friend's house so she can cut the shaggy mess on my head!  It is sticking out in some weird and wacky ways so it is time.  I didn't get her to cut it the last time and she gave me fits as I ended up with a super short cut.  It doesn't really matter to me - I think I could rock the shaved head look!  LOL

Groceries are on the agenda today and then back to get some totes filled so my sweet sil can put them in the car for me to take to the storage unit.  I think I don't need the winter clothes right now.  I am trying to get some other things together that will go in the storage unit.  I am being ruthless and earmarking a lot of stuff for the church yard sale (next weekend). 

Who knows what else I might get done today???

The Wednesday Blahs

I have the Wednesday Blahs today.  Just no energy to do things that I should be doing.  I need to unhook my monitor and switch it out so my sil can take the current one to my dd.  I am just worn out today so I asked for a rain check on him helping me.  We will try again Friday.

No news yet on new living arrangements, but I am not going to panic.  God has seen me through lots worse than this! 

Monday, Monday

I am really not wanting to do much today, but I do need to get some things done.  I must finish the laundry and box up more things for our yard sale at church.  We are raising money to buy more chairs for our sanctuary.  If we raise enough and have some left over, we also are thinking about putting tile in our fellowship area.  There are always places that we can use the money.  LOL   The Ladies Ministry will be holding a Bake Sale at the same time.  It will be a busy weekend (May 6th, 7th, and 8th)

I am also trying to cull out more things that I really don't need.  I am moving to a much smaller place and really need to take just necessities.  I have too much "stuff".  I thought I had thinned it out a lot before I moved out here, but apparently I didn't or else it has multiplied!  I just found out (by reading the local paper today) that BHC will have a hazardous waste day on May 2nd where you can drop off computer and other electronic items that no longer work.  I do have a computer (or two) that don't work well now.  I am passing one of the older monitors on to my daughter and I am finally switching over to a flat screen!  WooHoo!

Setbacks

After 2 of my friends took a good look at the RV yesterday, it was determined that it is going to take MAJOR work for it to be possibly livable.  I was lied to about the condition of the RV.  I should have taken one of my friends with me to look at it before I paid for it, but I didn't.  So, I got took.  But, I am trying to stay focused on God and keep remembering that He has a plan. 

Last Sunday we had a guest pastor as our pastor was serving the ladies at our annual Women's Retreat in Williams.  His sermon was on Walking by Faith, not by Sight.  He must have been talking to me!  On Thursday, my daily devotional by Streams in the Desert was about how God hates self sufficiency.  We are to totally depend on Him!  Today, the Streams in the Desert devotional was about When God Says No!  I am thinking that maybe God is telling me to BE STILL!

It is just difficult to be still when I "feel" so alone.  I am NOT alone.  First of all, there is God.  Second of all, I have a wonderful church family who love me.  I guess I have just felt so alone for so many years.  The funny thing is (not really funny) that I can trust complete strangers not to lie to me about the condition of a RV and I have trouble trusting those around me that love me and care about me.  It's like I don't want to bother anyone as I know that they really don't want to help - I am causing them an inconvenience.  I am finding out just how false that is - FINALLY.  It is like God is hitting me over the head saying - BE STILL!  LET OTHERS HELP YOU! 

God has been so good to take care of me through some really rough and dangerous times in my life.  Why in the world would I think He won't do that now?

Today is Earth Day!

Because it is Earth Day, I would to tell you about one of my new ventures - Clean Green and Natural, one of my newest eShoppes.  It is a work in progress as I will continue to add products that are eco friendly and good for the environment. 

Trying to get things done!

I am hoping to get moved into my RV by the end of May.  It will depend on just how much work needs to be done inside to get it like I want it.  The guys that are going to help me with the remodeling were going to talk it over this weekend.

I went through my closet and was ruthless!  If I hadn't worn something in a while and didn't think it was likely that I would ever wear it again, into the GoodWill pile it went!  If there was something that I just didn't like, into the GoodWill pile it went.  A lot of dresses and skirts went into the pile as I just don't need them here.  Life is definitely more casual.  I did keep a suit and a dress and a couple of other items, and everything else went bye bye!  I also packed up my winter clothes and have them ready to store.

My Saturday

I had hoped to get some sorting done today.  But, I just didn't get as much done as I wanted to.  I am having some trouble with my right knee - more pain than usual.  So, I have spent much of the day on the computer working on my websites.  There is always something to do there.  LOL

The Garage Sale at the church is coming up in a couple of weeks, and I need to get what I am taking ready to go.  I need to sift through everything to reduce what I am going to take to the RV.  I packed up my winter clothes.  I doubt that I will need them very soon.

I found a storage unit Friday.  There are a few things I would like to keep but can't store in the RV that I will store.
