What a Plan God Has
What a Plan God Has Well, today was another great day. We are all healthy.My father-in-law had surgery and came through it with flying colors. I am thankful he did well.Our family woke-up today VERY lazy. I could hardly get motivated, so my hubby brought me coffee, in bed I might add.It did help but we were talking about how hard it is getting older. I jumped out of bed a few years ago , now I roll. Scary! So, I did what I love to do, I went to the health food store and got a big bottle of B-12 liquid BOOSTER! We'll see how that goes. i tried it today and didn't die, so that is a good sign.I then went to Goodwill and scored on some clothes and educational movies like Alexander Bell, Harriet Tubman, and a few others. Plus some really cute clothes for myself, the kids, and mom-in-law.Then I went to a resale store and found,,,, are you ready? FOUR Madam Alexander dolls for $30.00 for my daughter for Christmas. YEAH resale! I also got my son some shirts and a coat.But, the coolest part of the day is the fact that I drove past the old salon where I worked for 10 years and saw 1/2 off! Let me tell you why this is cool. OK, I have done hair 20 years and last Feb3 changed salons and moved with 8 girls to a new salon. Sounds like we all ganged up but it was IMPOSSIBLE to withstand the torture of the old place anymore. !0 years behind me, moved on.So, I worked one day, signed a contract, went to the resale store, met a sweet lady who was buying bunches of stuff for her nephew whose house and everything it burned Thanksgiving( this was in Feb. of this year, the house burned last year) So, I was so sad and begged her to come over to my house and I LOADED her up with 2 trash bags of clothes from my daughter. Then when she left, I was fixing chicken nuggets for my kids, turned on the grease( High) went down the hall to pick up some stuff with my kids, no time to spare so I was multi-tasking, and my daughter came running down the hall screaming there was a fire. IT WAS ABOUT 4 FEET TALL! A grease fire on the stove. So I did what any smart person would do,(grin) and carried it saying c-r-a-p all the way with each step. Third and second degree burn on my favorite RIGHT haircutting hand. MELTED. So, the point of this story? I got clipped and dipped every week for 12 weeks at the burn center, no more cutting hair, no money, and hurting. However, this was GOD'S plan. We refer to it as " The Burning Bush". I needed a clear sign to quit the one day of the week that I had worked for 6 years, Thursday's were now like any other day, at home where I am suppose to be. God kept trying to tell me but I wouldn't listen. Until the burn!Now, I have to find someone to cut my hair. I saw the sign 1/2 off at the salon I worked at pre-burn.So I went in a very nice girl said she could do it then. As we talked , she informed me she is agnostic? hmmmm and told me she doesn't plan on worshipping any man, or read a book written by men that weren't even with him. My heart broke. We talked for the whole haircut. The owner guy asked me what I thought of gay marriage,( I did tell him my views) and the funny thing was, there were 6 hairdressers there, not one was working, and they were all very interested in listening. I went to get my mullet cut ( I had tried to cut it off about 8 inches and couldn't reach the back) and I got to tell them all about my beliefs! God is good. What fun it was. I am praying that maybe I said something right and made a difference for someone. It is my goal!We went and saw a movie as a family, and I end the day, once again, praising God for all the blessings of another day!
