Attitude CHECK!!!

A couple of weeks ago I was at Wal-mart and I was feelin sooo happy and I was JUST in SUCH A GOOD MOOD!!! Really, for no particular reason...I just felt the joy of the Lord in my heart. And there I am shopping, just walkin throught the store like a RAY OF SUNSHINE on dark dreary day for the rest of the world...

and I get in line and I'm quietly singing a little song under my breath and the cashier was like, WEEEELLL look at you...singing away....YOUR JUST SOOOO HAPPY!!! And she said like kinda questionin...like I MUST have some good news...like did I just proposed to? Win the lottery? What COULD POSSIBLEY be making me sooooo HAPPPY!?!?!?

And without missing a beat I just said, Weeelll you know what, GOD IS JUST SOOOO GOOD!!! AND she just looks at me kinda surprised at my response...buuuuuuut I just smile, cuz that honestly and truley is the reason WHY I was feelin soooo happpppy!!! (Trust me, ain't NOBODY been proposin to me!!!;) AND I felt EVEN happier, cuz I felt like by having the joy of the Lord in my heart I was able to be a witness to this cashier at Wal-mart!!!!!!!!!!

Weeeeeeellll a couple of days later, I found myself at the mall, in NOT quite sooooo good of a mood. Yeah, God is still GOOOOD buuuuuuuut, I was just feelin SLIGHTLY ANNOYED with my brother!!! He had asked me to pick something out for him to give his girlfriend for her birthday cuz he had gotten her this GPS thing for her car but he wanted to give her something girly-girl too, buuuuuut he wasn't about to step foot into the ICING...which my ABSOLUTE favorite store in the whole world for hair accessories....sooooooo he had given me money and told me to pick out something that Liz would like, that wasn't outlandish or wild! He said, "something REALLLY feminine!" I had been thinkin like, okaaaaaaaaay...whats that sayin about ME??? AnywayZ, I took it as, pick out something boring, that I, as in myself would NEVER wear!!! LOLOL

AnywayZ, turns out that, BIG SURPRISE, my brother didn't like what I had picked out. I'm like, okaaaaaaay I din't get anything bright, its really soft pastel like colors...lacey...whats WRONG with it??? LIZ WOULD NEVER WEAR THAT...its too BIG!!! That thing is HUGE my brother said!!! I'm like okaaaaaaay whatever...I have things that are at least twice the size of that!!!

Sooooo NOW here I am, at THE ICING, returning it. SO I tell the girl, who happens to see me QUITE often cuz, weeeelll you know, this is my favorite store, so I tell her that I gotta return it. She says, Oh i'm sorry, thats one of our dressy accessories, it can't be returned! I'm like, OH no its ok! I have my RECIEPT!!! I pull it out and show it to her. She says oh I know, buuuut the store has a policy on certain things that we sell, they can't be returned because they are dressy!

I'm thinkin like WHAAAAAAAAAT?! Cuz NOW what am I supposed to with this flower, that I would NEVER wear and cost over $10....I'm like...Ummmm...okaaaaay weeeellll...I didn't know about this policy, NO ONE TOLD ME!!! And she is like, weeeeellll...the policy is printed on the back of ALL our receipts and I'm thinkin, like OKAAAAAAAAY...WHO READS THE BACK OF THEIR RECEIPTS???

The Votaws!!!

He has preached all over the US, China, Taiwan, the Philipines, Vietnam and many more Asian countries. He preaches in underground churches in communism countries. He converted a man on death row in prison to Christ and 3 hours before that man died he baptized him in Jesus name. He prayed the first man in Vietnam to kill and americn soldier through to the Holy Ghost and Baptized him in Jesus name. He has converted trinitartin preachers all over to the Oneness doctrine...BUT ABOVE all else...I thank God that I TOO am ONE OF THOSE souls he reached out too...he gave 7 years of his life to New York City!!! I thank God that he answered the call!!! It wasn't until his 6th & final year as pastor there, that our family came into church...we were there for 9 months before we came to AZ and then right after that the Votaws left NYC for the mission fields of Asia...I THANK God that someone had a burden for NYC!!!

Sis. Kathy!!!

This is the woman that invited my Momma to a Pentecostal church!!! She told me that she was actually new in the church herself and that she would see my mom in the front yard of our house playing with us kids and she just wanted so badly for my mom to have what she had just recieved herself. It may have been just one person that she was witnessing to at that time, but that one person has had an affect on her own five children and now its her Grandchildren that are still recieving the blessing of Sis. Kathy's witness. 25 years ago, it wasn't just my mom...I may have only been two at the time, but it was ME she was winning too! I thank God she wasn't afraid to be a witness and that she didn't give up on my mom. For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call. (Acts 2:39) When you decide to live for God it doesn't just stop with you!
