Never EVER heard of such a thing until Pastor Rickie Rush, of the Inspiring Body of Christ Church, brought it up as part of his sermon today. Hmm. Pastor Rush showed how tip off one end and then put in a stick of peppermint IN the pickle. Uck. wasn't feelin' that. Yet it was the sweet you try to get to through the bitter. The sermon itself was GREAT--to understand why you're going thru what you're going through. How YOU got yourself there. That hurt, yet true. To find out why and how, ask God to reveal. I about burst into tears. Cause I need aLOT of reveal. :) Very good sermon. I sat beside a first time visitor couple who expected their first baby on May 3rd. Sweet.
I am SO glad I have the week off. Wednesday is my birthday. Hmm. I may have mentioned it. A time or two. Anyway, there's little things I need to do. Things to think about how I get on with this life I have.
Sure, I still reel from the ill fated decisions I made a few days ago. However, I know God is with me. Plus I've learned more about me. That was another part of Pastor Rickie Rush's sermon too: Perhaps your situation is God's way to show you a new way of thought needs to occur.
I can get that. The notes from today will be a definite re-read. The sermon hit all the way home. What I needed, like the chat from yesterday: to get all the way out of my comfy cozy box.
In the meantime, the sun still shines on this Sunday. Kinda windy and a bit chilly, yet could be worse.
It's not.
Gonna go enjoy the rest of the day the Lord has made--well, except for pickles and peppemint.
Wait! I take that back. If the pickles are on a hamburger from the best burger place in Dallas, Burger Island and the peppermint flavor is in a latte: then we're set!
I am blessed.
