Shout out to Andrew! Thank you for picking up my Starbucks garbage bag on the floor. Andrew does fundraising and stuff for MS events. Andrew, I pray you will be encouraged by the writings. Okay time for the writing!
Way back when I was a kid, probably like most other kids, I did something. I planned out my dreams and my future. And, you know what? Nowhere in my plan for myself included multiple sclerosis.
Look At Me Now! Almost 20 years having this disease, but actually it's been 17 years and some days total of having MS. For people who don't like math, I was first diagnosed with the disease at age 21. And, I'm almost 28.
I know I had mentioned in a previous post of my past work history
So, been there done that. Then God took that part of my life away. Do you guys believe that? I actually kind of do miss that part of my life a little. However, I'm just trying to focus on trusting that God has plans that will prosper me and give me hope.
On the way, I felt he planned for me to have a Starbucks Ministry where I've been for probably more than 10 years! Do I sometimes think I want to stop going to Starbucks and maybe get a job? The answer is yes. Of course I think like that. I'm human.
The evil one likes to put stupid thoughts like that in our minds. Of course I'm not saying it's bad or evil to get a job. I'm saying it's bad and very evil to be doubting God and His will for your life.
So, I'm going to do whatever God is telling my heart I need to do. If I would stop and think about it, oh wow what about other people l meet here that I give cards to? They wouldn't be introduced to God. Well, maybe other people will introduce them to God. But my cards wouldn't be the one to introduce them to God!
The people I meet here, and myself included will miss out on feeling encouraged. Feeling encouraged just by their actions, what they talk about, and the smiles!
Moral of the writing is you are right where you are! You are right where God wants you to be! You are right with the person God wants you to be with. Now be mindful because your actions and your words are your choice.
Pause break and I say hi to Jordan! Thank you girl for getting me my hot water! I pray that you will be encouraged by the writings!
Okay sorry I was saying so God provides the environment. It's up to you and me what we choose to do with the environment. I think I'm saying that right. Hopefully the Holy Spirit will speak to your heart I hope you understand what I'm trying to say.
Have a nice one!

Jeremiah 29:11 NIV
For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord , “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.
