Smithville You Are Way Too Rural For This City Gal. I Sang In Tongues Heading There & Back.

Oh my gosh I do not mind rural but way too rural is just not for this city raised gal. I went to view a home for sale recently and I had to really follow my gps. I missed a small street that really did not even look like a street and it added time to my estimated time of arrival. I had to go about 4 miles or so to get to the connector road I needed. I know this would have been a big challenge trying to get to work and back home again. It was a lovely but hot temperature wise day when I went to the country. I sang in tongues on the way there and I was praying for revival. On the way back I felt led to listen to the song, "Nowhere to go but Up." I had it on "repeat" mode and guess what I did? I sang in tongues to that tune heading back driving through the country/rural.
I was up really early yesterday and I was packing kitchen items. I also finished up cleaning the oven to look spic n span so to speak. Today I was up early again and I tackled cleaning and organizing and going through containers to sort things for moving. It was hot and humid today. I could work outside so long then I had to come in to sit in the air conditioning and then back outside again. I was going through a container of Christmas items and I found my "Croatia" hard bound book that was presented to me at the Croatian Debutante Ball in 1976. I thought I had misplaced it and was happy to find it. I then placed it where I would find it again. In the same container was a second family tree that was done years ago and it has more information in this one. It also had death certificates of both grandparents I believe on my grandmothers side of the family. I saw on the one death certificate the name of their mother and it was the woman that brought the European Jewish into my bloodline. See, not only did I see it in a family tree but I also saw her name listed on the death certificate. You cannot make this stuff up can you? I loved finding this and I sat and read it over today.
I also found in a Christmas container again an etch of both my children at Epcot Center. I was there over a Mother's Day and all I wanted from them was to go and get the Legacy thing they were offering at the time. They did and they also bought me an Advent wreath on that trip too. I thought I had more Christmas gift bags and gift boxes then I had in my gift wrapping storage container. Sure enough I did and they were in a Christmas container. All twinkle lights have been tested and I only stored working Christmas tree lights.
Did I tell you it was really hot today? I knew I had to complete this project today and I did. I re-arranged containers and swept out the storage closets, all ready to go when I find a place to go to. I took an afternoon break and went to a local farmer stand to get a few fresh produce items. I also went to Dirt Cheap to see if I could find some of that great price point candy to take to the person that greets us in the morning at work when we are at work and not teleworking. I found 3 bags and guess what? They were not 0.40 each but 0.25 each bag.
Last evening I went to a local church that is having their services outside on a hill of the church property. You bring your own lawn chair and I found a place in the shade and enjoyed it. There was great worship and then preaching also. Guess what they call this time of services? "Summerfest for Jesus."
Oh this is important also, last night a family member got engaged (my goddaughter to be exact.) The immediate family went to be there as a surprise after he proposed to her. Look how clever this balloon arrangement is. That is the update for now. I keep packing in faith that I will move when the time is just right. God is in control as I watch 4 other families move from the same building in which I reside in. Hey let's put this in perspective. I will be the fifth, 5 is the number of grace. Praise God from whom all blessings flow.

Summerfest for Jesus

How romantic, he got on his knee to propose to her. He also asked her father's permission a few weeks ago about his intent to propose to his daughter. Romance is in the air can you feel it?
