Life Is About To Begin

July 25, 2025 - I accepted a new job at Chili's  July 27, 2025 - I gave my 2 week notice July 30, 2025 - I went to my orientation and was not given my new schedule. I was told they would call me the next day. August 3, 2025 - I still  have not heard from them. I know what most are saying. "Well, why didn't you call them?" My most honest answer, "God is calling me to more." I worry about working Holidays and not being with my family. I worry about driving in snow and ice when Winter comes. (I live in SC. It happened last year).  I worry about flexibility with my crafts and jewelry selling. I worry about not having the time to go to church, and help with a new church project.  I have a plan, God's plan. He talks to me a lot when I'm sleeping. Maybe that's because it's when I'm most quiet.  Here's what I dreamed of TWICE the last 2 nights. A purple yogurt parfait. Random, but not random to My God. I prayed on my knees last ni...

A Questionable Journey?

Why do some people, maybe it's most people, question everything they do before/while they are doing it? If we believe that God has placed us on this path for a purpose, then why are we questioning the journey? Proverbs 3:5 NIV [5] Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; Bible app I'm not gonna lie, I struggle with this, a lot, throughout my life.  My original dream....to be a Police Officer. That's all I ever wanted growing up. I had the opportunity 3 times, and, due to circumstances,  I never followed through. Somehow I now have a new dream.  Books, Crafts, and Coffee Another one coming to light is  Brooke's Treasure Chest  on eBay. I absolutely love thrifting. I can't wait to see what treasures I can find. This goes back to the question - Why do some people, maybe it's most people, question everything they do before/while they are doing it?  What are your thoughts and insights? I'd love to know. -Brooke

God's Story

I recently heard a news report on the radio that there are certain type of employees within the job world. There was one that struck my right in the gut.  I am working one job, and always looking for the next best thing. I'm tired of not being paid what I'm worth. I know that the owners want their business to make money, and they can only afford to pay what they can. I understand that. I'm just tired of no being able to afford general needs like food. I know everyone has something to say about this. I just didn't think at almost 46 years old I would be where I'm at. Granted,  I didn't think I'd have 2 divorces under my belt, too. During my second marriage, and then my divorce, I thought I lost my faith in God. I was angry at God for a long time, but I still talked to him. He has definitely shown up these last 2 years, and I still need to sit and listen. God really loves to knock me around with a 2x4. Photo from Graham Baird I'm al...
