Is it me?
Or am I the only one feeling like there is not enough time in a day to do all that I need to do?
or
even want to do?
Life is so busy!!!!
The priorities in our lives have definitely changed!
So What have I been doing with my time?
Well....
Besides my regular service in the ministry and meetings.....
Two days a week I have been doing public witnessing
with this cart.
On one day, I help at the College in the afternoon and
then on Wednesday
my mom and I do the cart at the 99 cents store.
Carts like this one are being used all over the world now by Jehovah's Witnesses.
All of the literature is FREE to anyone who is interested
and we have been
very successful in answering
Bible Questions.
I had someone ask for a bible study last week
from the cart display and we have placed a lot of literature with interested people!
As we are "keeping watch"
on the closeness
of the end of this wicked world
as we know it
(2 Peter 3:11-13 ; 2 Timothy 3: 1-5),
we spend many days
warning people
just as Noah did in his day (Matthew 24: 37-39).
Do we get discouraged?
Yes.
Especially, because many people do not take this seriously.
But, they did the same thing in Noah's day.
In fact,
he was laughed at by his friends and neighbors also,
because
they had never seen water fall from the sky back then!
The Bible tells us that there will be those that will ridicule us for our warning work!
(2 Peter 3:3,4)
But we love our friends and our family and our neighbors
and we would want to help
them to be saved from ANY impending danger despite the ridicule.
So.....
I continue doing just what Jehovah tells me to do.....
(Matthew 6:33; Mark 13:10; Luke 21:34, 35; Jude 20, 21)
Being one of Jehovah's Witnesses is
the best way of life!
I have been one of Jehovah's Witnesses
for 42 years now
and I am so thankful to Jehovah for finding me and teaching
me the truth about the Bible!
I am very busy, but it is a "good busy"!
Only because of the urgency of the times that we live in! (2 Tim.3:1-5)
But I am no different from anyone else,
I also have a home and family responsibilities to take care of.....
I clean house,
do laundry,
pay my bills,
run errands,
cook,
go to doctor's appointments
and
help out friends and family as needed
and anything else that might come across our busy life.......
Which is why....
every once in awhile....
it's nice to enjoy a hobby or craft project or spend some time
with good friends and family
and enjoy some good music.......
Did I mention......ONLY ONCE IN AWHILE.......
 |
| A rare moment of "me" time..... with Family and Friends enjoying a night of Great music! |
 |
| Mom and Me enjoying some great music (listening to my honey Kim) and relaxing! |
 |
| I LOVE THIS MAN! I don't say it enough but I DO! |
 |
| Here we went to a jazz concert with friends at the Rose Bowl. What a nice day! Great music, great company, and great food! |
 |
| But of course..... There is never a dull moment in our lives! This is one of our dear friends home! A car went right through her dining room into her kitchen pinning her up against the stove just as she walked into the kitchen! Miraculously, she didn't have a scratch on her! Her home had to be red tagged so me and some friends from her congregation went the next day and helped pack her entire house up and the brothers arranged for the items to be put into storage until she can be moved back in. In the meantime, a generous sister from the congregation has offered her a place to stay. Jehovah has truly trained us well to take care of each other! |
 |
| I love these two! I don't get to see them enough! Can you believe they just celebrated their 10th Wedding Anniversary! In my very spare time....... I have been working on some special home-made gifts to give them for their anniversary. I can't show you though because that would ruin the surprise! I will post the pics as soon as I give them their gifts....... |
 |
| And amongst this crazy busy life of mine..... I was introduced to this precious face! Somehow.... in all the coas of this world.... everything just becomes wonderful when in the presence of a new life.... It's amazing! The miracle that Jehovah has created! Life is so precious! My new niece, Amaya Rosealinda is the latest addition to our family. Love, Love, Love our new baby girl! She is beautiful! Congratulations Grandpa Steve & Grandma Kathy |
 |
| Talk about Love..... I LOVE THIS KID! My grandson is growing up!!!! He is now taller than me and in Highschool! He is such a good young man and makes us very proud to be called his grandparents! |
 |
| It's always good to take a break and cuddle our grand kids while they are still small enough to want to be cuddled! They grow up too quickly! |
 |
| Recently, we took a few days to take a break and go camping..... We love camping! But it seems that the last two times we went camping it rained! AREN'T WE IN A DROUGHT! I think we figured out how to fix this drought problem..... WE WILL JUST PLAN A CAMPING TRIP!!! |
 |
| I had to sport my cowgirl hat since it was raining.... Since I got my hair cut boy was my hair out of control when the humidity came in! VERY BIG HAIR!!! I was making S'more's for lunch....... YUMM! NOT WEIGHT WATCHING THIS WEEKEND FOR SURE! |
 |
| Where does the time go? Life is passing by so quickly....... I have been looking at old photos and came across some that really touched me..... This picture is of my youngest son Kamron. He was sporting his "Buckwheat" shirt that one of his uncles bought him. I recently found that shirt and thought of this picture.... I think he was two years old here. I will give this shirt to Kamron when I see him..... I miss this guy! Hope he comes to see me soon!!!! |
 |
| This picture is of my oldest son Korey and his cousin Moriah when they were two. Korey turns 37 this month! Where did the time go? It seems like yesterday that these guys were playing in the yard together and I was young and cute! |
 |
| Talk about cute! This is my grandmother and grandfather on my mom's side of the family. They were a beautiful couple and had 10 children. Unfortunately, I don't remember her because she died on my birthday when I turned two. January 6, 1959 I look forward to meeting her one day soon when she is resurrected (Isaiah 26:19; John 5:28, 29) and I can't wait to tell her all about Jehovah and what his Kingdom has done for mankind (Matthew 6:10). |
