TSMSS ~ Here Am I

Happy 73rd Birthday!

Image
Wednesday I spent the day with my friend celebrating her 73rd birthday.  For some reason I have always been drawn to older people.  God has put a special place in my heart for them and honestly it seems I get along better with older, more mature people than I do most people my own age. When I became a widow I was surrounded even more with older ladies.  In the widows Bible study group, that I started attending a few months ago, I am the youngest in the group but that doesn't bother me.  I am able to share my struggles of widowhood (singleness) and they understand and can share their wisdom with me.

I was praying the other day about not letting my life slip away without using it for the Lord's work so I got in contact with the leader from my last two missions trips.  Good Goers stopped organizing missions trips but he did say because I was a previous Good Goer that they would be able to work with me.  I found out they are doing a trip to Haiti in February to help at the Little's Angels orphanage.  When I saw the pictures my heart just melted but with my seizures still not under control, I just don...

Lilla Rose Opportunity

Image
I joined Lilla Rose back in 2012, basically just to get the discount on my flexi clips and be able to buy clips at a discount to give as gifts and any money I made I used towards my missions trips to New Mexico. Two years later and I am amazed how God has blessed.  Last year I reached supervisor level and I decided that the profit I made from my Lilla Rose business would go to support a wonderful family who is headed to Togo for medical missions . In February, Lilla Rose had it's first convention which opened my eyes to see the wide range of women in different walks of life who have signed up to sell Lilla Rose and it made me realize the opportunity can be a huge blessing for many and I needed to share the opportunity with others. The ladies in attendance ranged from a 15 year old girl who basically runs the entire business under her Mom's name until she reaches 18 when she can sign up for herself, to a lady who is a truck driver, to a lady who joined just after her ...
