After dinner last night I laid down and fell asleep. I got up after 11:30PM and headed to bed. I laid down and knew there was more to be done. I had to prepare my salad for tomorrow to take for lunch. I did that and felt led to pray my prayers for today since it was now today time wise. I am looking @ my Passion Translation bible and hearing Isaiah and I say there is no Isaiah in the translation I have of this particular bible. Then instantly I am prompted to go to the day's numerical date portion in Proverbs, Proverbs 29. There are things around me and I ponder on them prior to me reading this. You do know there are people around you in your life that do not necessarily want to see you move forward but may even try to hinder or sabotage your spiritual leap in life. Yes there are and pay attention to them for the Lord is already preparing for you a banquet for you to eat/partake in the presence of your enemies. What they mean for evil will come right back around and bite them back. Pray for your enemies and bless them in the midst of that too.
I have been in the office for a few days now with paperwork that needs to be taken care of. I brought in the cinnamon rolls and Panera bagels along with cream cheese and butter too. I heard one of my co-workers mention it was their birthday the next day. I said I would bake a cake and bring it in to celebrate their birthday and an early birthday of another co-worker that won't be here for their birthday. During the course of discussion about bringing in a cake a co-worker spoke that I brought in already all this crap (it was not in a negative connotation referring to the bagels/cinnamon rolls.) I had no problem stating do not call it that call it the blessings from the church that God provided. Be a vocal mouth piece to defend blessings of God in a kind way ok. So, I was true to my words and baked a carrot cake with cream cheese butter cream icing. People told me it was good, they would come to my desk to share that with me.
Oh my I had a little bit of cream cheese already at home to make the frosting but I thought maybe I would need more. I went to 2 stores and they were out of cream cheese. That is crazy, people stop hoarding cream cheese ok. I finally found some @ another store and bought it. Well, earlier I was experiencing no cream cheese in the store so I bought a can of cream cheese frosting in case I needed to use that to supplement in the frosting ingredients. I made the frosting and actually added a portion to my frosting some of the canned frosting too and it turned out yummy (the frosting that is.) I did not have any of the carrot cake @ work and what was left I sent home with the birthday person for their family to enjoy. They asked me if they could take it home with them for their family and I said yes. I thought I was baking a cake for a handful of us at work and it ended up being a day where there were a good amount of us in the office that day. Simple act of blessing faith ended up blessing others. God knows exactly what He is doing and trust Him and obey ok.
Stubborn people, God is watching you and when He has enough, He has enough. Read about this in scripture. They are not my words, they are the written words spoken under the inspiration of Holy Spirit.

Addison Road - This Little Light Of Mine
You know what, the other day while listening to the radio heading home from work a person called into the radio program. They must have been discussing relationships. I loved this simple thought a radio listener shared, he said in their marriage he tries to out serve his wife. Isn't that beautiful and lovely. He wants to serve his wife more then she serves him. Now that attitude is the attitude of a servants heart do you agree.
