Giving Bread...

Literally, I do mean giving bread!

My husband and I both bought a loaf of bread home from the grocery store on the same day. Instead of taking it back to the store for a refund, I asked God who should I give this loaf to at work, and He put a co-workers name in my spirit. So I bagged it up and brought it to work today and just told my co-worker that we had two loaves and here's one for her. She was floored when she looked at it, because it was "Nature's Own Honey Wheat." She said that is the exact brand and kind that her family eats, they don't eat any other kind! She said she was going to call her husband right now to tell her what God has done. She said, "...oh, the little things." And that was such a blessing for me today.

Can I Make a Comeback for '09?

I have slacked off so badly with this blog site, it's not even addressable! To comeback to my blog is like resurrecting the dead. But can it be done? That's the big question that is looming over my head.

If you ever see me, I want you to look hard over the top of my head, and you will notice little question marks there. Some question marks are bigger than others. One of those question marks surely belong to this blogging thing.

For as long as I can remember, I try and I try to keep some type of journal...some type of memoir of some sort to remind myself of the great things that happen in my life, whether perfect or imperfect, whether big or small, whether it's something that I think is insignificant or huge, whether it impacts my life in some form or impacts someone else's life...I think it's important to document it some way.

If I think it's so important though...why, why, oh why...am I not consistent with keeping this darn journal?

Laila Lost Another Tooth

Laila lost her front top tooth today. She's a little sad because she lost it while she was outside playing and it fell out her mouth. She was at her auntie's house because me and hubby are out of town (on our own!).

“For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.” (Jeremiah 29:11-13)

39 & 47

I was counting money today (all quarters), and as I was counting, when I got to the number 39, I felt like that was going to be a significant number in my life. I kept counting and the same feeling came over me when I got to 47. I felt like the 39 was for me and the 47 was for my husband. So when I was done counting my quarters I stopped to think for a second. (I do that once in a while). The difference between 39 and 47 is 8. Vaughn and I are eight years apart...8 means New Beginning.

37 and 49 also reduces to the number 5, which means MEDIATION, understanding and judgment. The ancients represented the world by the number 5, the explanation being that in 5 are represented the four elements earth, water, fire and air, plus the fifth essence, ether or spirit. Five became the number of humanity with the five developed senses. It is the great senses, after which the sixth sense intuition develops.

The five wounds of Christ symbolize the suffering endured while in the flesh, which leads us to turn to God. In the parable of the five wise and the five foolish virgins (Matthew 25:3), "They that were foolish took their lamps and took no oil with them. But the wise took oil in Testament their vessels with their lamps." The oil relates to the anointed, or those who had light. Human beings can choose the light or reject it by their actions. Interestingly, the word oil is a 9-powered word, which means a completed cycle of attainment.

Salt-n-Pepa Show

I'm sorry, I have to say that this is the second season of the SnP show I've seen, and I just have one question...why does Sandy always have a confused look on her face?

She's still cute, but that look.

First Week Down!

Okay, so I'm going to try and wrap up my LA Week. Yes, I've completed one whole week here in L.A. and it was absolutely GREAT! Monday and Tuesday I went to downtown LA to the Fashion District to this fabulous wholesale clothing mall. I ended up there because I knew that my favorite t-shirts where sold there. So it just so happens that the building that the t-shirt people were in, there was also a whole bunch of other wholesale dealers as well.

So Tuesday night, I'm on my computer trying to catch up with emails and MB is on MB computer, then midnight hits. I'm writing my last email, and MB has finished up MB computer work so MB then turns off the light on MB side of the room, and blatantly tells me to turn off the light on my side. I'm thinking...there is a better way to communicate with me than to come at me with rude demands.

Man, I'm sleepy already!


Who's this handsome man?

Dad? Is that you?

May Our Lord Bless You in 2008!

Time to Pray for Someone

Okay, strange thing...I was working a photography event last night, and the people at the event were eating, so my assistant and I were just sitting down talking. Not much talking, just a little conversation here and there, in between a lot of silence. Then, out of no where, I started thinking about something that a young lady did to me that I did not appreciate AT ALL. Not only did I feel that what she did was trifling, but it was so silly and small, that she really could have come to me and apologized about it, but she never did. So anyway, apparently, I'm getting hot about it all over again, so I turn to my assistant and say, "I have to tell you what this young lady did to me..." Now keep in mind, this incident happened about a year ago, lol.

So I tell my assistant the story and never said the young lady's name until the very end of the story. So my assistant looks at me and says, "is her last name xyz?" And I said "yeees, that's her." And she said "oh my goodness, what made you think about that since it happened so long ago." I said "I don't know, it just came across my mind." Then my assistant shares with me that the young lady had been going through some trouble over the past year or so, and lost her job. So then I told my assistant, "oh I get it...I'm supposed to pray for her."

Okay, so I'm stopping the story here to say that this is the pivotal point where I personally understand that "things" just don't cross your mind out of the blue. They are planted there. I believe that God wants me to pray for this young lady. But how can I? She's not going to come up to me and say, "Hey Thais, will you pray for me?" So the next best thing is to find someone who knows her and is familiar enough with her situation to tell me, so that I can know to pray for her. I know, it sounds weird, but that's just how "out-the-box" God is!

Love ya,
Thais
