Just looking through old notes in my bible … Jesus knows the worst about me … but loves me the most

Happy birthday to our sweet beautiful autumn yall she is the best 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Today was your last appointment I had on my book for the year 1130 I didn’t have the heart to erase it I miss you more everyday I love you forever but I feel you every day in everything I do !!! I love you barbara I miss you so much

My sweet Goldie went to be with the lord this past week It was hard to let her go .. Tuesday I’ll do her hair again for the last time … barbara was my client but to me so much more than that our friendship extended into her families forming a bond with me too !! I service several of her family members now .. but Barbara’s been with me from the very beginning she was my rock I keep listening to all the voicemails she’s left me she would talk on them like it was me and her chatting away.. I can’t describe the emptiness I feel without her with me every week staying half a day after we finished her hair we would eat lunch talk about life memories listen to music ! I loved her like a mama and friend she hated to see me upset and loved me unconditionally ! My heart will be so broken you can’t replace people like her she will have part of my heart forever ! I’ll love you forever and ever barbara ..see you in heaven 🥹💗

Happy Thanksgiving to all of you from your favorite girls !!! We love each and every one of you and wish your family a blessed holiday season !

I will praise thee, O LORD, with my whole heart; I will shew forth all thy marvellous works". Psalm 9:1

❤️❤️🙌🙌🙌long post but necessary

The fact that this is a memory and a heart that’s been so humble today you have no idea what God’s done for me in the last few months… try taking a person who cannot accept help then try to imagine a person who never has been able to depend on people then…try taking a person who has built a life that they knew they could control and make money when they knew they needed it for whatever they needed to provide for their family and others endlessly and finding peace in that that I could provide that’s a blessing right well then imagine God ripping that all away from you just so you can fully experience what relying on him feels like a few months ago he burdened my heart to the point where I couldn’t even go another day working like I was I looked in the mirror at work and it’s like God said, what are you doing so I gave him a crappy answer I’m doing your work, lord I made it look good. I put some paint on that answer. I made it sound good to him. I believe if I could see his face, he shook his head and said child why are you doing this to yourself? Who are you trying to prove something to? I don’t need that. I simply need your heart. I need your trust. I need your faith so with a lot of prayer three weeks as my pastor says every good sermon has three points father son Holy Spirit I guess number three has been pretty significant in my life here lately. It took me three weeks. I reach out to my pastor and his wife, one evening, crying, and frustrated that didn’t wanna give God this I didn’t wanna give him the part of me that I’ve always been able to do not saying I could do it well, but that part was hard to give up to some people letting God take over that may be easy but for me, I never had anyone that I could depend on growing up so I laid it down. I made it official on Facebook and every single thing fell apart, including me. that day, I truly died to that old mindset I refuse to allow fear and worry in this world robbed me of my peace over and over again, making money and having things was never the issue and God knew that I would give you anything it was the control of me being in control and not surrendering that part of me to Jesus I knew I could take care of my family. I built that person that way I was programmed to provide to never let my children go without, but that’s not what God needed from me. He needed me to learn to receive just as much as I give, and I don’t know why that was so hard for me. I have had endless people to stop into my beauty shop and hand me money I can’t even explain to you what’s happening. It was like everything around me at my shop was under attack. Everything was breaking. We had major leaks twice in the bathroom after having repairs done. The air had broke numerous times. I just kept losing control of things that were out of my control, unexpected expenses were coming from everywhere it was like I just couldn’t get ahead. I was sort of confused and frustrated with God. Why would you take away? The one thing I’m good at working I could make the money, but why would you take that away from me when you knew all these things would pile up on me how is that? How you even do things? Why would you want me to worry? What do you want me to be fearful when people kept coming in and saying God put it on their heart to hand me money God kept reminding me I told you I will supply your needs. It won’t be in a form of wearing your body down I wanted to believe him, but bad things kept happening. More money needed to be spent and I was working less than ever. I had people tell me they didn’t think I would last and keep my word because they know that I’ve tried this time and time again, I had a client even pay a whole year’s worth of color services one day I mean, when I tell you, God can really do anything. It doesn’t even add up or makes sense. Never had anyone in 13 years do that I kept being so humbled, but honestly, I was still holding on to pride for accepting anything. It was so hard for me and today with my second day with no air at our beauty shop unexpectedly. I text my pasture at six in the morning to reach out to a man in our church  he was there within the hour and didn’t have really great news for me. I told him I would need an absolute miracle with everything that has already been going on my nest. Egg for my shop had almost been depleted with all the unexpected expenses and pretty much tragedies that has been happening in the last six months when I tell you a miracle really did happen. My church family rallied all around me, and God wrapped his arms around us all and They covered everything for me. I don’t quite think I’ve ever cried so much because things were good today even in the worst moments GOD had a plan he had a plan all along he knew Kaylee would have to surgery that would be several thousands of dollars and he supplied he knew my salon would need this issues fixed he supplied he knew my heart would need a shape up so he tore it apart and his repairs were better than before ! He is a good father he is a faithful one ! I tell you he has used me for others a lot and that’s an awesome feeling to do his work but when he breaks a heart that’s tuff like mine and won’t except help and humbles it down to a soft soft excepting heart now that’s beautiful!! I still spoke GODS word to others even when I was hurting unsure worried I still chose to beleive even when I didn’t understand!! Because his ways were better than mine he will always come through with blessings after obedience!! I say all of this to say if you are holding onto things that you have not surrendered to GOD heartache ,worries ,anxious thoughts , worldly ways , past troubles , hurt, whatever it is quit holding onto what’s eating you away let GOD have every part of you ! He doesn’t want just what your willing to hand over he wants all of you the good the bad the ugly he is a big GOD with big blessings more than you can handle in your tiny heart !! I just wanna say thank you lord for loving me never giving up on me and for providing when it seemed Impossible to me! Just gonna set here and try and understand his math because it ain’t mathing lol he is a good good father I love you with every ounce and fiber in my Jesus and I will never be ashamed to tell everyone I know ❤️🥹
