The Good News

So, I didn't get around to blogging yesterday as I was honestly too sleepy. But one of the thoughts that came to me early in the day pertained to me possibly moving back to Atlanta in the next few years. I've debated it in the past but never felt truly ready to do. The only difficult thing about me moving back to Atlanta now would be the fact that I would have to leave CCC and the CCC family that I've gained. God also impressed upon my heart the idea that if I were to make that move that it would a) need to be for the right reasons. Not because I miss my family and have felt lonely living so far away. And b) I need to make sure that my spiritual and financial houses are in order. In other words what would be the spiritual purpose for moving back? What would I like to gain spiritually and where would my church home be? He reminded me that, like our Pastor has stressed to us, it's important to know my core values and purposes for my life and seek ministries that line up with those. And I think the financial order speaks for itself. I'd love to buy a home once back in the A so I need to account for that as well as the expenses associated with moving.

All that was for yesterday. Then for today. It was a day that I can say was truly lead by God. I had plan to attend the singles ministry meeting at church (which I did). I had doubts that I would go at first because I really wanted to sleep in. But, one of my sister's on the step team asked if I could pick her up and then another, so I willing agreed. Once, I'd picked them both up we headed for the meeting which was great! Minister Reggie Alvarez brought the truth from the Word. Straight, with no chaser! The topic was "Being Set Apart for Holiness" and how to be holy.

After the meeting, a few of us had a lunch consisting of mixed vegetables and water. We then headed over to one of our sister's in Christ, Kaylar's fitness center grand opening. It was an awesome time and to top it off they had fruit galore as well we get to go back for a free class! Do i sound excited? That's because I am. After, I went to the movies to see the Jaden Smith in the remake of the Karate Kid with one of my sister's in Christ and Boots homie, Joan. The movie was better than I thought it'd be. Before the movie though (we had a few hours to kill) we went to eat at Boulder Creek, which I had never been. I had garlic crusted salmon, mixed vegetables and and a sweet potato. I was in heaven! She made a comment that she almost didn't even go to the meeting but was glad she did. I'm happy she did too. From that I was reminded that sometimes the things that we don't really want to do or the things we are finding it difficult to do are things that we should avail ourselves to. Maybe not in all cases but it's something to consider.
