Oct 12, 2025: accepting to learn to love thy neighbor and celebrating a heavenly birthday.

Happy Sunday, happiness crusaders! 💖

Thank God it’s Sunday. I can appreciate a day that includes worship, the word of Jesus, and quality time with my kid. We got some spooky Halloween socks for $1/pair!!

Yesterday, October 11, was my late father’s 5th heavenly birthday. He would’ve been 79. He was incredibly proud of the work I’ve done in the past with What Makes Me Happy. I’ve managed to save his voicemail from when I was front page of KSU’s school newspaper. I’ve kept alot of his voicemails from over the years. It’s keeps me going some days. A girl simply doesn’t just get over the passing of her father. I miss him very much. Happy heavenly birthday Dad! 🕊️

Today’s sermon @ Frais was focused on loving thy neighbor. Emphasis on “the neighbors you tend to ignore and tune out”. This, again, has had me reflecting on my efforts with my family. There are certain things my family members and I have discussed and I’m choosing to keep that in private. I am deciding it’s a lost cause at this point. In theory, you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make ‘em drink. You can want immeasurably more for someone, doesn’t mean they’ll accept that for themselves. It’s all had me thinking about my future plans and what God has in store for my little family and I. I can only imagine it’s immeasurably more than anything I could even begin to grasp mentally. I trust God’s plans. I pray He paves the way for stabily and security for me and my own.

I’ve always been curious bout the rest of the world and what we could be potentially missing out on. Here goes nothing. 🤞🏻

Here’s three things today that make me happy:

Chubby kitties who enjoy belly scratches, glow in the dark items, colorful Christmas lights.

Celebrate what makes you happy always,
