I told you yesterday that blooms were about to come forth on my hibiscus plant. I woke up to one of those this morning. Well, I fell asleep last night again while on the couch and woke up @ 1:11 and went to bed. No sleep again and I realized it when I looked at the clock and it was now 2:22. Do you think there is something there with these 2 times on the clock? I met someone yesterday at the store that I knew. I wanted to use up some of the Rice Krispy cereal I had left from making Rice Krispy treats last weekend. I searched the other day and found a recipe for cookies. I was now at the store trying to decide if I should purchase and use peanut butter chips or caramel drops in the recipe. She said to try the caramel because that would go good with chocolate chips in the recipe. I was going to bake yesterday but my day was full, so I thought bake this morning. I was already up so here I was baking cookies @ 6:00am. This was a good recipe I would consider making it again. You have to like these ingredients to like these cookies: oatmeal, coconut, krispy cereal, chocolate chips and caramel drops. Sometimes I have found that a recipe will tell you to bake it for so many minutes and I find you have to bake it longer. This recipe was right on target, bake for 16 minutes. I got over 60 cookies from this recipe. I had a cute treat bag, so I filled it with a baker's dozen and also printed the recipe for this person when I saw them at church today. I delivered the cookies this morning. I also set some aside to take into work along with the recipe too.
It was around 8:00AM and I wanted to vacuum and then go over the surfaces with my Haan steam cleaner, I also did that and ironed some clothes too. Holy Spirit had me compose a letter a few days ago and tuck an offering in it. I did not know this couple, but I did get brave enough to speak with them after church and gave the letter to them. It is so nice to speak with people from a state in which you were raised in. I knew the cities we talked about. From there I went to a local Dirt Cheap store to see if there were any Temptations by Tara items @ 70% off. I found a few pieces yesterday along with Lock N Lock containers to set aside for when I bake @ Christmas time. I found a "Giving" plate, but I am keeping that and not giving that away because I do bake and bless others with the baked goods. This is a lovely Christmas design plate with red cardinals on it. Isn't that so me? There was nothing at this particular store, but I still went and looked after church. The designer leather purses are still @ 70%. I asked if they would go to 90% and the manager said no. I think there will come a point when they need to clear out merchandise to bring in new and just maybe they will be reduced to 90% then, let's see.
I was leaving the store and a woman was pulling out of her parking spot as I was heading to my car. She rolled down her window and asked if she could share something with me, I said ok. She shared that she liked my style of dress/outfit and that I walked with confidence. I said do you mind if I can be honest with you, and she said ok. I let her know it is Holy Spirit that speaks to me what to wear and what she is seeing is Jesus in me. Maybe, just maybe, Holy Spirit wanted me to go to this store today to witness about Holy Spirit in my life. I was willing and obedient and Holy Spirit showed up. That is how it works my dear friends, that is how it works. Let Jesus shine through you to share your testimony with others wherever He sends you ok. I did take a brief nap this afternoon while sitting in a chair in my living room. I think I am going to go sit in the sun and read another book I am starting to read today. Peace to all when there may be up rest in your life because we win at the end. Those are not my words; read the bible and you will see for yourself.
