those weird sentences

OK so the first time I tried to write a blog from my phone it worked perfectly, this time not so much. So I apologize for those 5 weird postings.
This is what I originally wrote:

Church was refreshing yesterday morning just worshipping and being in such a Holy place. The pastor spoke about what matters most to God (the current series) through parenting & how big they are of an influence. That helps prepare me to be a strong mother when I have (which hopefully will be many) and to just speak to them the Gospel during meals, before they go to bed and everyday see how God is working in their lives.

The pastor also spoke of missions and what the church is doing with that in Honduras, Guatemala and near by place. I just love the calling of that and how God chooses His people to be in other places of the world serving young kids or adults. Just anywhere in the ministry, I don't know yet if that's something God wants me to do, but I would be totally up for that.

I just finished Something Borrowed and I'm about to start Smashed, story of a drunken girlhood. Its similar to other books i've read just like this, and its kinda a slow start but I have this whole week at work to finish it which I'm sure I will.

I'm totally watching Shark Week as everyone else is.

Hasheem Thabeet Throws a Barbeque


Hey, guys! It's almost time to tha-eat.

Thameet is just about ready to tha-eat, so come up here and get what you want. Then take a tha-seat on the concrete.

We've got hamburgers and hot dogs and a bunch of bun choices . We have white bread and thawheat, so take your choice. Thawheat is a little healthier, but it also gets soggy faster.

Hey, Marc! It's good to see you. I like your khakis, especially thapleats. Oh, and thanks for bringing thabeets. I'm usually not a big fan, but they're alright in salads, though I prefer those to be thasweet, rather than savory. Anyways, I better go thagreet some more people.

Oh, everyone. I want to remind you to be careful around the flowers. They thasecrete some kind of scent that attracts a lot of bees. It's nice out, and they love thaheat, so just be wary.

I'll be bringing out thasweets later, but I'll be bringing them out thadiscretely, so as not to cause a massive feeding rush. I made a whole thasheet of brownies. They're delicious.

And no, OJ, you won't need your thacleats. We play wiffleball in thastreet.

Thirsty.

I don't deserve what I have, but yet the Lord is still faithful and provides through all circumstances. It continuously makes me more thirsty for the Lord and to rely on Him for strength, faith and trust.

For example, today at work I felt short-tempered with each customer passing through. I didn't know why I was so annoyed, but I seriously thought in my head "shut up and go." I felt rude today at work. After I read Utmost for today, I realized that I didn't do it in the morning and thats what I felt lacking today. Because the last couple of days since starting this book I have felt more energized, and filled up by the Spirit, just learning new small things that I can take during the day with me. When I have that from the morning, I feel better going into work and seeing people come to the pool.



And as tonight when I was listening to a song by Underoath: Some will seek forgiveness, Others Escape from YouTube it moved me hugely. Because I am such a visual person, they use clips from the Passion which helps me completely understand the lyrics more. It always brings me this feeling of guilt. Not an ugly guilt, but that I am a sinner day and day but yet He forgives and loves me. Even in the midst of my doubt, my short-temperedness, my quickjudgement and much more. One line that speaks a lot to me is "oh sweet angel of mercy with your grace like the morning wrap your loving arms around me.."



It's amazing His grace.




Oh, and the garage sale had to get cancelled due to weather...
