Tyler Perry and preparations…
I know some could consider this heresy…but, when I watch “The Diary of a Mad Black Woman” with Tyler Perry…I remember why I’m so excited to be a Christian. Every time I watch this movie, I cry and remember the faithfulness of Jesus. I know, right?
Days when I get so discouraged by the misrepresentation of Christianity to the world and even myself…I should watch this movie again. It just…reminds me that God is a God of restoration.
Not to mention, I laugh out loud every five minutes.
“I’ll be at church when they get a smoking section.” – Madea
And so serious…
“…you’ve got the strength God gave all women to survive. You just have to tap into it. “
“When some body hurts you they take power over you, if you don’t forgive them then they keeps the power. Forgive him, baby, and after you forgive him, forgive yourself.”

New things on the horizon:
- I joined in a CSA for the summer/fall harvest, through Trillium Farms. I’m really excited! I’ll be able to pay up front in the next few months, so it won’t be a financial stress at all this summer and will greatly benefit my cooking and creativity this summer. It should be a good summer for farming.
- Planning for a business…we’re starting to plan and create a business plan for a ministry we’re starting, Lord willing. “We” being a couple from my parents’ church and myself. It’s really exciting, a little scary, and a lot busy. So much change is on the horizon, but God is so fully in it. Pray that we continue listening and following!
- I am nearly halfway finished with my practicum- I have nearly 200 hours out of my 440 total hours. It’s so exciting!!! I’m a little nervous about finding a real job with insurance, with all the other opportunities and plans for the summer. I know God will provide, I’m anticipating great things, but I’m a little anxious. Definitely fighting that off, and learning to trust!
Must watch this movie now! I’ve never seen it.
YAY for your CSA membership! I’m on the waiting list for one. *sigh* They’re a lot more popular out here. There aren’t enough farms or farmers to meet the demand. Not sure I’ll make it in this summer although I sure would love it if I did.
