The Blessings

Lately, I've been amazed by the ways that God blesses me. I try to be obedient to the Lord, and then stay out of His way, because He often does things that I would never anticipate.

This week I've been pretty busy, because I'm currently working two jobs! Severn River Church has hired me to work part time for them this summer, working on outreach and evangelism. So far, that has kept me busy on the internet. As I keep getting into it, it presents more decisions and questions, so it's definitely interesting. I'm very excited about it.

My second job is delivering flowers for A Blooming Basket (located on Veteran's Highway). My sister works there already, and through a friendship with the owners, they've offered me temp work - first, working at the mall kiosk selling flowers, and then as a delivery person when the regular delivery man has some medical leave. So, I'm one of the "pink people" driving around town in a pink delivery van in my pink uniform shirt and pink ball cap with the embroidered logo. It's very relaxing to deliver flowers. I drive around in the car by myself, singing at the top of my lungs to the radio, checking out all the beautiful homes in the area, with such pretty lawns and gardens. I just have to watch my driving, so no one calls to complain about my speed or failure to signal.

I'm also lining up some summer speaking engagements for pastors who are taking vacation time. That's especially fun for me. I always love the opportunity to preach, and in places where the congregations already know me, it makes for a nice reunion.

So, all that to say that I'm tired, and I'll try to get to the blog more often in the next few weeks.
