Praise the Lord and yes I am running late with today’s Honesty Today but things just go that way sometimes. LOL
Today we had to empty out my grandfather’s house, and it was not really fun but it was calming. As we took the last few things out of his house, well as they did for I did not move anything – the guys did, I was standing in his living room alone and just missed him so much. I thought here is the closing of the finale chapter of this part of my life. Yet there was still calmness and peace in what I was doing as the Lord knew what I needed.
Well after that, we (Jonathan, hubby and I) went out to eat at Bucco something or another – LOL A Italian restaurant in Robinson Township and had a great meal together. On our way home, there is a building that I pass every single day home from work that I am always saying that I am going to stop to see what they are. Most times it looks like they are closed BUT this time there was a sign in the window saying that it was open…so after wondering if I should turn around and go back to see, my husband said sure let’s go.
Well we did…it was meant for us to do so. We walk to the door and there was a young man cleaning the sidewalks, and I said to him that I have always driven past this place and wanted to know what it was. He said to me that he was located downstairs with eth music studio but the woman who ran the upstairs was there. So we went inside to a little store front selling Christian items and she started showing us around her beautiful place. It is a Christian Resource Center that is a place to come and have meetings and to buy a few things. She started telling us her vision of her organization and it was like I knew that the Lord sent me there.
I had been looking for a place to hold workshops in person here in Pittsburgh that does not cost a lot of money and she is cheap. I have wanted to be able to network with people but because of my hours at work, I have not been able to do it as much as I liked…yet in talking with this sister, we would be able to help each other. It was just a blessing to be there and gave me such an extra boost to step out there on faith. Her testimony was just awesome to hear and a blessing to me.
Yet God was not done with us in that building…as downstairs was a music studio that we went to visit. As my husband was talking to the young man, you can see that they are just really getting started and though they have been in the business for awhile, there is not a big following for them. He is a very low rate because I think he wants to build up people using him. It was cute though as my husband wanted to hear some of his gospel recordings and I was silent as he played what he considered gospel…LOL Yet the Lord had us there for a reason. He was so reasonable that even if we did not like how the CD sounded, we could afford to swallow that price. The young man was very eager to please and I am sure that he would work well with my husband. Prayerfully Elder Merv will go into the studio soon and I will be permitted to let you hear a few seconds of his songs. LOL
Yet as we were leaving it started several conversations between my hubby and I that I think was needed. As most of you know, I have a strong urge to no longer work and to not only raise my son and take care of our home, but to also do more with WL4J (Women Living 4 Jesus) I have expressed this to my husband about a million times with the same answer EXCEPT today…I got the explanation of why we are waiting before I can move in that direction…it is all going to be in the timing of the Lord and I am thankful that I have a better explanation from my husband so that I will stop asking him. LOL Yet it was such a wonderful day in the Lord today and it is late but I am blessed!
I have to go to work for a little while longer but yet the money provides me the chance to do what I am blessed to do with WL4J. I see the blessings of the Lord in this manner as more sisters are coming to WL4J, as the Lord is sending workers in the ministry and even gift givers too…God is truly blessing. I believe that no matter what comes our way – God will bring it to be glorifying to Him if only we let it be. I am thankful this day for all that He is doing and all that is happening in my life.
Honesty today is I AM CONTENT AND HAPPY! I am so happy and content in my life and I am learning to NOT look for the shoe to fall and ruin it. I am learning to just allow the love of the Lord to flow. I am thankful to the Lord for His mighty blessings as I am just so dag on happy in my life and walk with Him. This does not mean I do not have moments or times when I get upset, angry or concerned – it just means that I know that I can rest in Him and when I let it go and go to Him…I remember that have content and happiness in Him and NOTHING AND NO ONE can take that away from me.
My prayer for all is that you come to Jesus with all that you have and give it over to Him for His yoke is easy and His burden is light!
Well it is late and I need to go to bed…
Have a blessed and wonderful evening in Jesus this day and every day you are blessed to see!
Until later on…
Love your sister in Christ,
Sister Alissa Lynne

Hi Alissa, as I was reading your post, I told myself, I don't want this to happen to myself. I feared the thought of somebody leaving. :(
By the way, I dropped an EC here
God will bring you through it my sister if/when it happens. My grandmothers were called home to glory within 5 months of each other, with my stepfather following behind them within 4 months, then we were blessed for 10 more years with no death, then my mom went on after struggling with an illness. This was the hardest of them all, yet when the Lord called my grandfather home, I knew it prior to it being revealed just as I did my mother but this time I took heed to the voice of the Lord and truly was blessed with much peace and comfort from Jesus during that time. I miss them all but I know that they all served the Lord so I will see them yet again. I always thought I would not start seeing any of my grandparents and parents leave this earth before I was 40 - yet it started when I was 25 - but the Lord saw me through that and I was not saved then...now I just rely on Jesus and so will you when the Lord brings you to that point in your life....remember that the Lord said we can have peace that passeth all understanding and unspeakable joy in Him...His word is true my sister - it is true!!
