All we need is a little PATIENCE

Need to take a break from all the Covid19 news…

Tryin’ to relax and sound trippin’ to the music of Guns ‘n Roses

Said "woman take it slow, and it'll work itself out fine"
All we need is just a little patience
Said "sugar make it slow and we'll come together fine"
All we need is just a little patience (Patience)
Mm, yeah

The UPSIDE, Downside and Keeping afloat in between…

“Sometimes you need to look at life from a different perspective.”

  • I am without work, but not without a home...

  • I am thin, but not without food...

  • I struggle many times in life, more so health-wise, but not without victory and faith for better days ahead...

  • I thank GOD for my loved-ones, my wing-man, and for having this chonky cat blessing in my life...

LAS VEGAS HIGH ROLLER isn’t rollin’

A saddening thought: Something so small, our naked eye can’t even see it, located across an ocean in a place I’m sure most Americans would have a hard time locating in a map would have such a profound and negative impact to somebody here in Las Vegas.

Just imagine a month ago a housekeeping staff of one of the big hotel casino happily making beds, creating towel art, neatly arranging miniature bath soaps and carefully lining up small shampoo and conditioner bottles for the guest bathrooms confident that putting in a good day’s work will guarantee her a paycheck to put food on the table, pay rent and maybe some leftover cash for a movie with her hubby.

Fast forward to today and this little thing from across the ocean is wrecking havoc here in the desert, ruining lives and livelihoods; and now picture our housekeeping staff member in line at the unemployment office, anxiety and uncertainty clearly evident in her face, future plans put on indefinite hold, a thousand things racing in her head. What just happened? Multiply this story tens of thousands and you realize how fragile our lives are, how intertwined and interlaced our existence is-and the end is not even in sight. Truly saddening. 😢

Even when I walk through the darkest “LAS VEGAS “ valley, I will not be afraid, for you are close beside me. Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me. ~ Psalm 23:4


The RAINBOW connection and ME

A lot has happened…

It seems like I’ve been away from here for the longest time; but I will try to enliven this blog again and with this afternoon’s rainbow, I found a heavenly inspiration to start...

so for now, let me sing for you...

Someday we'll find it

The Rainbow Connection

The lovers, the dreamers and me 🙏

Philippians 4:13 - and the Reason is YOU...

When I got diagnosed with an invasive breast cancer, I did not know if it was His will to heal me or if my borrowed time here on earth is nearing its due date. I sought God and His will.

Keeping the Faith through all the bleak times and uncertain seasons in my life, I live day to day and pray without ceasing for His continued merciful love and light in my life.

As...

“Faith believes when there is no reason to hope. Faith isn’t seeing; faith is believing. It never stops hoping. It never gives up. Faith is obeying God even when there are no results and believing the results are happening somewhere (maybe even just inside me, reminding me to turn to God as the ultimate source of provision for everything I need).”

And then it happened...an answered prayer, a testimony to my test, the reason for my scars, a new and continued chapter of my life...

I will be back in the workforce again on Monday at a medical imaging facility...and of all the many departments I could get assigned to, I got hired at the Mammography Department whereby I could totally relate and empathize with the patients.

GOD truly works in mysterious ways and I thank Him for this providence to continue in my life’s journey, wear my scars with a smile and serve through Him.

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.” ~ Philippians 4:13
