Entwined

This week has been entwined with much wonderfulness!! 😍 SO…Hannah and I went out last night to celebrate. I feel led to share a few tidbits of the week…along with pictures of our celebration.

We both felt yesterday…we were supposed to dine out for dinner. I chose one of my local favs…Madeleine’s Fusion. I had a hankering for steak…and they serve good steak. Not the cheap, flavorless, chewy steaks a lot of restaurants serve. I don’t want to waste my money on a cheap steak. Not cheap anything. A good steak should melt in my mouth when I chew…not exercise my jaws with each bite. Just sayin’. 🤷‍♀️

When we called for reservations, Charles answered. Now…Charles is a fixture at Madeleine’s Fusion. He has been there for years, and he is an exceptional waiter. He always accommodates my dietary restrictions. While on the phone, he asked me if we were celebrating anything in particular. I told him…the fact that we are women, and we are free. 😜

His response…classic Charles…”and you should.” 😂

See the tone of our evening?

Steak AND Chicken

I have my head set on steak. HOWEVER, when I arrive and look over the menu…this crazy-sounding chicken rice bowl sounds mighty flavorful. The dressing over it is made with fish sauce. Kind of an Asian spin with some spice to it.

WOW…now I am torn.

After discussion, I learned I could get a steak bites appetizer with the exact same cut of steak I originally wanted…staying within my dietary boundaries.

SOLD…give me both. I want the steak AND the chicken.

SUCH a good choice on my part. Both were out of my mind delish!!!

I ate until I couldn’t possibly eat any more food. Then we had our leftovers boxed up. Finished them off later while at the riverfront. 😜

Celebration

A couple of reasons for celebration. One for each of us.

On my side, I got closure this week to something that has been plaguing me for years. Wow…such a release and a relief to have that door closed. It felt like another layer of freedom for me. A sign to move on. Move forward in peace.

In looking back, I am SUPER proud of the work I have done. It was tough…but so productive inside. I feel like I won a prize or something. I should have anyway. 😜

It has kind of lit a fire in me again. For what…I am not sure. Still trying to sort through it, but man…amazing any way you look at it.

Over this past week, I have been getting such sweet revelations of truths about the Second Adam and Second Eve. A beautiful partnership for sure.

One sweet concept from Father this week. Ya know the saying…what is one man’s trash is another man’s treasure? Well…Father says I am the treasure.

Crystal Ann Laura is a treasure. I am that pearl of great price hidden in the field.

Loved this.

On Hannah’s side, she had an epiphany this week about herself and her life. Crazy good one. Super glad for her. I had literally been asking Father to help her get there. He did. Wowser bowser man…so so good.

Entwined

After dinner, we decided to hang out for a bit at a classy wine and cocktail bar we enjoy. This time, I wanted to sit at the bar and watch the bartender. That is one of the first things I said to Chris when he came over to me. Going to watch him work mixing those drinks. Such fun entertainment for me.

Hannah brought her notebook in as we wanted to sit and work on her epiphany. She had many questions. Listen…I had answers. 🔥

I was in my element here. It added fuel to my fire…HOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Words can’t describe the joy I feel when I am doing what I was created to do. I don’t sit around and think about what I have to offer people for I am too busy working on my own issues with Father 24/7.

Sometimes…I am baffled when I get to guide, educate, convert death into life, and transform a life. I am amazed at what comes out of my mouth at times.

We got so much work done…and incredible work. Hannah is really starting to view life differently. I am SUPER STOKED. Such a privilege to be able to help someone radically change their life in Christ’s way. To help them build something eternal instead of something temporary and slated for destruction in the end.

Damn…I am on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bartenders

Our two male bartenders were great. The interactions with these two guys were SO MUCH FUN.

I have learned…since Hannah…that I talk with my hands. Before her…wasn’t aware of this. When we were in Gatlinburg years ago, she was taking pictures of me while I was talking and driving. Every picture…I had one hand on the steering wheel and the other in the air. I asked her…do I NORMALLY wave my hands in the air like that when I am talking???? 😳

Yep…😂

The bartenders were watching us. Finally, one came over and he says to us…I KNOW this is none of my business…so tell me take a hike if you want. BUT…you are talking a lot with your hands so WHAT are you talking about???

We were more than happy to indulge his curiosity. He got a great synopsis of our discussion.

It all made sense to him and he loved it.

In turn, I learned about the Electric Forest and Bonnaroo. These are events I had never heard of before. I absolutely LOVE having convos with total strangers. It is always enlightening to me.

The pictures below are photos one of our bartender buddies took for us.

For starters, the guy was an entertaining conversationalist. BUT…when he got behind my phone camera…he turned into a comedian. FOR REAL! We got one decent picture from him. These are a sample of the rest of them. Totally his fault for our movement. His routine was hysterical.

Skatepark

When we left Entwined, we wanted to walk on the riverfront. I noticed they had finished completing the skatepark. All about that! I told Hannah…gotta go see the skatepark. The last time I was in Evansville, it was still under construction.

We watched the people on their roller skates, skateboards, and cycles. Really awesome to watch them doing their thing.

I became a huge fan of trial cyclists when I saw Danny MacAskill years ago. His abilities on that bike are phenomenal. Super impressed with his skills.

We got to see both young and old getting air time. Super cool!

While there, I noticed a guy about my age or even maybe a tad bit older doing tricks on his skateboard. I was telling Hannah I was super impressed with not only his skill but the fact he was doing it at his age.

Later, he walked up the hill and I shared with him my thoughts about his work.

We had a great convo while he walked with Hannah and I to the parking lot.

It was another highlight of my evening chatting with this stranger.

Security

I find my life crazy. Crazy wonderful these days.

My situation hasn’t yet changed. I am still broke, in debt, homeless, without a vehicle, and still unsure as to how this is going to play out. I have some clues…and things He has promised me…but those things are still unrealized at this point in time. HOWEVER, I am the happiest woman on this planet…hands down. Never in my 53 years have I ever had more peace than I do today. Each day…gets a little sweeter for me. No worries about tomorrow…just questions. Questions that have answers and those answers will come.

One thing I do know…I am His Treasure. Not because of what I do…but who I am inside.

The knowledge of my own value and worth…IS security.

I always say…it doesn’t matter if anyone else knows who I am…what matters to me is that I KNOW who I am. To know me…is to love me. I know me. I love me.

So many things in this crazy life for me to celebrate…AND so I should. 😜

HAVE A MARVY DAY! I AM!!!
