Working from Home

Most think that working from home could be the most awesome thing there is!

Having experienced jobs in the real world since I was 16, I would have to say that working outside of the home is definitely the best choice.

Working from home you often think that you can throw in a load of laundry then get back to work. By the end of the day, you will have all the household chores done AND a day's work accomplished.....if that were only true!


I found out very quickly that a "home" environment job is not very enjoyable. As nice as it can be to "schedule" your own events, to HAVE an eventful day is the best thing that could happen.

Because my ministry has no ministry bookings (as of now but that is very much wanted in the future...busy tomorrow?)...it's easy to be a "slacker" and not do everything that should be done in preparation for these things!

Yes, every week, I pray about what I need to post, and try to create, type, and schedule a post for each day for my Facebook/Twitter pages. This takes most of my Monday's, because it takes a lot of time. And I pray about who I would like to give a testimony for my next video. And even small video Bible sessions are fun!


My prayers are weeks in advance on what I need to share...because as much as I LOVE being "ahead" of the game, some where I fall short and end up trying to "rush" to get the game going!

- let's take for instance TODAY!! It is 3:25pm and I have no post at all. Not even the weekly profile picture is changed. (But I will share with you why it's up and late this week in another post)! :)

I often go into places of business and would absolutely love to apply for a job. I love working with the public and enjoy meeting new people. I LOVE PAPERWORK! I know that is odd but I do enjoy it! I use to work for a public school system and worked as a Special Ed Clerk and loved my job! BUT I LOVE being in the will of GOD even more, that is why I chose to resign and begin my journey with Singles Compete IN HIM!

Things didn't happen as quickly as I would like. Unlike a job and someone telling you what to do on a daily basis, I have to trust and hear the voice of God to be sure that I am doing what He wants me to do. And even in a "home" location, probably MORE so than if you were on the job site...so many things "pop" up that need to be taken care of.


Most people think that "oh, she doesn't have a job"...and there ya go! And never really take into consideration what exactly it is I do. Sometimes I wonder that as well!

Being at home, you sometimes get lost in the shuffle of doing the "weekly post" and maybe doing a video here/there. But what is the REAL GOAL of this ministry?

Let's talk about our future!

Singles Complete IN HIM would love to venture out and hold workshops. Each workshop will have a theme and whatever that theme is, the sessions that are held will be discussed! :)

I'm basing a lot of workshops on subjects that are not usually coming from the pulpit. Topics such as responsibilities that you endure with being single: Disciplining children, paying the bills, etc.

The first (and last thus far) workshop that was done, the married people who were there raved about it even being geared toward married folks. Well, that too is a direction that SCIH could be headed, so we are not limited to singles only.

These workshops will include my own testimony, because you know...growing up in a Pastor's home doesn't mean that your life is roses! And I've made some bad choices and I've made some great choices. I think that some of the these things may help others...because we ALL AREN'T PERFECT and guess what? We never will be!

Also, just any speaking event would be awesome! Now, let me tell ya, this is not my knack! Truly...I'm good behind a camera (it's what you are comfortable with) and that bothered me for awhile. But it is what you get use to. And I would LOVE to get use to LIVE people!!!!

I just would like SCIH to help others! I want to be right in the middle of God's will for my life.

Thank you all for your love, encouragement, and support in our ministry. It makes me smile to see "likes" and "shares"!!! You all have been amazing and I hope that these weekly posts and videos that are posted do help someone!

Football Games and the United States of America

Image
I was at a football game recently and it was so exciting seeing all the fans dressed up in their favorite gear to cheer on their team.  Outside the stadium were tailgaters grilling up their best barbeque and playing games to pass the time away. After all, it was 5 hours till the gates opened. Funny how fast time flies when you keep yourself busy doing things that you love. Once the doors were open, fans would walk a ways to even make it to the stadium. But that's okay because everyone was excited and ready for the big game. It was enjoyable seeing some fans with some wild get-ups. They certainly go all out for the game! Fans were packing in the huge stadium, everyone was wearing the same colors, however, only a few that decided to try to pack in the same stadium, took their chances and put on their team colors and were there to support their "the other" team. It's very interesting listening to the people around you. They yell at the referee's most

Standing STRONG

  Observing social media posts (and my own incident recently) - THUS THE REASON for this post! 😁 I've found majority of people who post are pitiful, selfish, weak little cry babies when it comes to different situations!   It's times we let our hair down and tell it like it is!!! It helps people when we are REAL about our self and different situations! We ALL have issues, even if you think that you do.I ASSURE YOU, you do!   AND THE bad part about it is SATAN KNOWS! He may see it better than YOU SEE IT! BUT THE GOOD NEWS IS, once we see and realize it, then we can make adjustments and move on!   I hate talking about myself....ESPECIALLY about issues that I encounter.......my here goes...so bare with me. It's not about the success of dieting, because we can ALL be successful at something....BUT the knowledge of the root of the issue!   So, all my teenage years through adult life I've never really liked how I've looked! I've always felt fatter t

Mom Memories

It's amazing just how much you REALLY need your mom!  Your mom is always the one that you go to for every day questions, maybe cooking questions, maybe just needing knowledge about an issue. Whatever the case, it's awesome just to call your mom and say hello!  After mom (Bonnie Moore a/k/a Dear Grace) moved to Heaven last October, there's many emotions I've had to deal with. You think you're okay and then out-of-the-blue, something jars your memory and there goes the tears. You often catch yourself wanting to give her a call. My mom was a strong woman. I don't ever recall her being ill many times in her life. When she was sick, she would jump right back in the path of life and get busy. She was always helping other people, whether it was cooking meals, feeding their cats, taking them to the Dr, whatever it was, she was joyful in all she did. Mom would find humor in the small things. She was really a hoot! She loved to go to Branson and en
