Wonderful things are happening. Do not limit Me. Do not plan ahead. The way will unfold.A message from God.
I went to church this morning for the first time since August when I started working weekends. It was perfect as I sat in a brilliant golden light filtered through the south facing windows of the First Baptist Church here in Hartford. We use two churches, one in the summer and the other in the winter. This was the first time in this church for me. We use the two churches to try to keep all factions of this Yoked church happy. Years ago when I lived in Pawlet, we did the same thing. The churches were next to each other. It was very difficult keeping both old buildings up to par. Then after I had moved away, the ME church burned. Now they utilize just the Congo church. I really like Pastor Mike here. He is my neighbor as well - he and his wife Sharon. She is also a pastor. He always speaks to me in his message. I feel a genuine caring from the man. They raise sheep as well.
It has been mild for the last few days. A cold front is supposed to come through tomorrow. The beauty of this respite in the weather is we are well into November with no major problems. That fact sure cuts down on our winter which can be as long as 7 months. I am grateful. I have a snow plowing man ready to do the job when necessary. I have staked my yard to guide him through the first storm. I had my deep well pump pulled a couple of days ago. We had no idea how deep the well was but we know now. It is over 200 ft. deep. At least that is where the pump is. The water level is only down about 30 ft. Which is a good thing. I have lots of storage. I had the wiring replaced and grounded. The pump is fairly old so I may have to do it again next year or so but a pump is a large investment and as long as this one is working fine----.
I am taking Sebastian to the vet tomorrow for what looks like a small tumor on his lip that began bleeding a couple of days ago. I am concerned since my Welsh terrier, Duffy had a malignancy on his gums. It was supposed to take his life but it never did. He lived 11 years after the cancer surgery without a recurrence.
Tomorrow is also the day for a repeat fingerprinting for me. My prints did not come out. The person who took them blurred them. So I will do that in Hudson Falls in the morning then to Granville for the vet appointment.
I haven't written about my first job at Boces from the sub-finder system. I worked five days in a row at the orchard then accepted a job as a receptionist at the Boces campus in Hudson Falls. It was a cultural shock. The students are the worst of the worst. Terrible language, disrespect, fear, unhappiness and hate. I feared for my life a couple of times since the desk I was at was right in front of the principals door. They have several security guards who are very busy. The police had to be called for a student with a concealed weapon, a knife. I don't know if I will accept another job there. I think I will be ok with the younger kids.
Gotta go make blueberry cobbler for supper. I made a beef stew and used up the last of the veggie's from my garden. My carrots are delicious. I have them stored along with the potatoes in the cellar. My herbs are all dried and hung from the rapters in the other cellar. Pete made me a deck mounted bird feeder for the ground feeders as well as the other birds that winter here. I hung one of my christmas wreaths from the past today. We are ready -- I think
Remember: You can't reach the Kingdom of Heaven if you are always looking back to where you came from. Stay forward and focused.
