Singing at a graduation ceremony today...outside. The weather is nasty and my throat hurts. Does it sound like I'm whining? I am. Looking forward to tomorrow, Joseph is speaking at church. This is the guy I talked about in another post. "Real Christianity" Also tomorrow is my first day at going into "medical" at the jail. Not really sure what to expect, but heard that some of the inmates in "medical" are there for mental health issues...even suicidal. Have to admit...feeling a little apprehensive...(but, also passionate)
We'll see how it goes. Post more later...

Wishing you well today as you sing. I hope the weather will clear for you and your throat will feel strong while singing.
Have you had any experience being with those who have mental illness? My husband is bipolar, diagnosed in '97. I had never been around anyone who was mentally ill until he became sick. It is a struggle to this day. It's hard to identify what is him, what is the illness and what are the side affects of the meds. I do know that taking the medication with complete consistancy is essential and I'm thankful he does that.
Well, I hope you have a blessed weekend. We are headed off for his Neice's wedding real soon. Be back tomorrow evening. Will talk to you soon. I will be praying for you. :)
Hope your weekend goes well and your neice has a beautiful wedding! Thanks as always for your encouragement. Love, Melanie :):)
Thanks for stopping by my blog and for the words of encouragement. I'm interested to check out some of your music...I'm always loving to hear new stuff.
please, stop by!
Hi Melanie,
Just wondered how your weekend went. How did the singing go at graduation?
The wedding we went to was just beautiful. Our niece and her husband met thru a young couples ministry in their town. A layman, who counseled them thru classes at this place, assisted in the ceremony and his words were so meaningful. He spoke alot about the groom protecting the brides purity, in Christ. Started speaking about how her parents had guarded her purity until the wedding day and now it was his place. There was so much other good stuff - I sat and cried and cried. To have done things right, and have saved myself for marriage - I can't even imagine what that wedding night would have been like. I'm just so very thankful to have the grace and forgiveness of Christ and to be able to walk in His Purity now.
Hey Jodi,
Singing went much better than I expected. But..that's God for ya.:):) (Me of little faith)
I know what you mean about the wedding. I had no clue about the incredible awesomeness of giving each other the gift of "purity". Thank God for His mercy and grace and the amazing gift of starting over. Isn't it something? How God can make us "know" innocence even when we're not???
This has been a busy, busy, weekend with today being catch-up day...Hope to be able to blog later about my "interesting" jail experience yesterday.
Wanted to say: "Hi" and "I'm thinking of you"
Love,
Melanie
Hi Melanie,
So glad to hear the singing went well. I am anxious to hear about the prison ministry experience so I will just keep checking back. God bless you!
