TGIF- Thank God I'm Free!

Happy Friday my beloved friends.  For those that know me well know I always have jammed packed weekends and this weekend is no different.  Tonight I am excited to get together with some amazing musicians and practice for the talent show tomorrow night and for our Sunday morning worship set.  Then after that I will head down the street, “LITERALLY” (that was for you Tania Runyan) to my awesome hairdresser’s house for a much needed haircut.  Thinking of doing something new with my hair!  J After that, who knows what the night may bring.  Maybe I will head to my favorite place and practice my songs for the dreaded karaoke contest I signed up for tomorrow night.  I have no clue as to who I’m up against, could get interesting!  Or maybe I will head home and just crash and get rested up for my very long day tomorrow.

Tomorrow is my daughter’s last cheer competition before the state championship at The Sears Center…go Spartans! Her team has already received a bid to state so this should be easy.  I’m keeping my fingers crossed that our youngest group of girls will earn a bid tomorrow.  Then from there I have to book outta there and head to the talent show.  My church is trying to raise funds to go towards a very worthy cause called “Feed my starving children”.  You can learn more about this incredible ministry and get involved by visiting http://www.fmsc.org/. Did you know a bag of food for $1.15 could feed 6 children?  Should be an interesting night (entertainment wise) to say the least, can’t wait!  And I just got an email from someone at the Chicago Tribune who will be there conducting interviews and taking pics.…. big things poppin’!  Sunday I will get my praise on and then just relax the rest of the day with my family.  Monday I head down to the University of Chicago to meet with a follicular lymphoma specialist.  I think I more nervous about being late than anything, I’m notorious for tardiness!  I picked up the slides from the pathology department at the hospital.  Too bad I can’t understand all the medical terminology in the reports.  So pray that I get there on time and that I can get some answers to the many questions weighing on my mind. 

Rant…. Hmmm you know to be honest I really don’t have anything to complain about today other than it’s payday but that my direct deposit had an “LOL” after it.  The money comes in and goes out even faster.  But what can ya do? I’m thankful for my job and my hard working hubby’s job even though he “despises” it most days.  I told him to be thankful that he has one.  He needs to be a godly example and a light to everyone he works.  One day God will open another door of opportunity for him to do something he’s compassionate about which is full time ministry.  Til then he must be patient and do the job he has. And I need to learn to be content that with what we've been blessed with and not worry about tomorrow.

Timothy 6:6-11 Now there is great gain in godliness with contentment, for we brought nothing into the world, and we cannot take anything out of the world. But if we have food and clothing, with these we will be content. But those who desire to be rich fall into temptation, into a snare, into many senseless and harmful desires that plunge people into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. It is through this craving that some have wandered away from the faith and pierced themselves with many pangs.

 Have a very blessed weekend, be safe!
