gain

I wasn't going to do it. I was going to keep my mouth shut and not say a word on this blog.

But, I have to share it. This has been the very best week of my life. I started a new blog about various destructive habits I wanted to quit.

All I know is this. God must be very serious about the keeping of His temple, because He has let me know, in no uncertain terms that He is ecstatic about my new choices!!!! I had THE biggest week of my career. Not only was it financially the best, I had so much fun.

I have been stupid happy all week. TT wouldn't know, because I have dropped into bed in exhaustion when I get home! I have also been real quiet about my changes. Like, I did not want to say anything even to him. I needed to heed the Voice I was hearing and obey and not have a big discussion about it.

From the doldrums of my September 11 post to today feels like a journey out of Hell. One of the joys has been helping a friend totally reorganize her home. It would be like if I had moved into my mother's home after she died, but tried to fit my stuff around her stuff. Oi. My friends have been through a heartwrenching couple of years and now she is ready to make all these changes.

She said we looked scarey with bandanas wrapped around our noses to protect us from the dust. Then her daughter found us real dust masks! Breathing got easier. We have laughed until we cry over the "treasures" we found.

I turn into a machine with projects like this.

Trash.

Save.

Trash.

Save.

Now their bedroom is their own. Their office is their own. And today after church, their dining room will be ready.

It IS more blessed to give than to recieve! I gave God my bad habits. I gave my friend my time and organizing energies. . . and I have peace and joy! What an exchange.

I love the economy of the Lord.
