Today was interesting. Mom, Jenny, and I had plans to go to Olive Garden for lunch and then to see the movie, Larry Crowne. It's five dollars during a time on Tuesdays and dollar popcorn and drinks.
Before that, I went to Lowe Lane to see if they needed any help. Sometimes on Tuesdays there is needed help, but there was only 10 kids show up and my friend Lizzy brought yarn and things for the kids to make bracelets and things to put on their school bag. They were SO excited to work on the yarn. One of my new friends, Jose, came in early and decided to stay while he waited for us to finish making lunch. It was a big helping of mac and cheese, green beans, and carrots with Ranch dressing. The kids had even asked for more after they played a little bit. I had introduced Jose's sister Michelle to Lizzy. Michelle's face lit up when I introduced her b/c I think she was excited that someone had remembered her name. It was so nice to spend my time at Lowe Lane. I was able to love on some kids and just be me with them. I told Jose to get out of the kitchen and he asked what we were having tomorrow. I told him that it's chicken nuggets day. As I was leaving Jose said, Are you going home? I said, yes but I will be back tomorrow. I said, Is that okay if I come back? Jose screamed, I want you to come back tomorrow!
I paid my bills or did the best that I could to pay my bills today. I think that in some aspects really down deep I might have gone to Lowe Lane not just to help but also to "work" off some debt to God. How crazy is that when there isn't anything we can do or need to do. All we have to do is lay at His feet and give it all to Him. God reminded me that you don't need a huge meal or fast food to have a good meal. Or to have a good time.
On another note, I have been reminded many times that some of my words aren't spelled correctly. I am now going to look back and read over my blog again. I suppose the things that I have been typing I need to allow to sink in.
