Cleaning cleaning cleaning

I made a new friend recently. Her name is Jen. We've been hanging out a lot recently. She's quite the character. Her father is Catholic, her mother is Jewish. Which makes her Jewish, by blood line. She grew up attending a Jewish synagogue, but she didn't really follow the Kashrut, because her father was catholic. She grew up in a small town in California, and the temple she attended was like a little family. When she came out here to Vegas (I forgot to ask why she moved, think it was for school) all the temples were charging admission. Where she lived, you could donate if you were able. Out here, it was mandatory to "donate", and she didn't like that.

Anyway, long story short, we met the first day of class, and didn't become good friend until Thursday (Valentine's Day, as it would be). She needed some help with homework, so she came over to my place and I helped her out with it. We then talked for a few hours. She came over last night again and I started teaching her how to solve a Rubik's Cube. She can do the first two rows so far. I have her practicing those until she's decent at them and has the concept down before we move to the bottom row.

However, my apartment is a tornado disaster area at the moment. I hadn't filed anything in about 2 months, and I had 3 mail piles on the floor and it hadn't been vacuumed since I moved in. It finally got to me, so I've spent all day filing and cleaning and all that jazz. It looks nice. Now I just need to clean the bathroom.

I'm having tremors right now (lack of food), so I'm sitting in front of my computer typing this while I eat dinner and wait for the blood sugar levels to even out.

On The Lord's Errand

I've noticed something really quite interesting to me. When you are on the Lord's errand, I have found that He will give you those things that you need that are for your service to Him and to assist you in your own life.

I didn't have a single allergy attack today. I spent 2 hours at a hometeachee's house with their long haired dog: nothing; an hour a another house with two dogs: nothing; 2-3 hours at another house with 3 cats and a ferrett: a little throat constriction.

I, normally, am only able to stay at this 3rd house for 20-30 minutes before I have to leave because my allergies are acting up so badly. I'm usualy ok with that for a while longer if I've dosed up on antihistamine. I didn't have any antihistamine today.

When you are on the Lord's errand He won't let anything stop you from doing what He wants you to do. He will put you in the right place and the right time to help His children in their hours of need.

He will prompt you and whisper in your ears, and if you are willing to listen and heed the words, you will have more success and do more for good in one day than you will be able to do in 7 months (or more) without Him.

Don't ignore the whisper. Make the u-turn, make the phone call, drop by for a sparatic visit, whatever you have to do, just listen. You will never have known that kind of joy, as when you are in the service of your fellow men and doing His good work.

Lead kindly light, amid the encircling gloom. Lead, Thou, me on.
