2day was a good day!
Stuck 2 my initial desire 2 do a lil work out seeing our shower time would b @ 8am!. So @ 6 I did some stretching ever so softly as 2 not wake my cellys! After minuted of that I did 1 set of side leg raises n was bout 2 start calf raises when the delivery of breakfast bags interrupted me. Yet made me smile when I seen 2 pieces of bread,normally we get one! N though 2 boiled eggs woulda been a great post work out meal I gave em 2 my roomy! Like protein but I prefer not 2eat ice cold boiled eggs! He gave me his powdered donut so work for me! Once my other celly finished using the desk as a table I pushed in the stool n took care of my bizz! More side leg raises - my hips need it - more calf raises, some side bends,some lunges,n finally some sit ups of sorts. Did 100 of each! N made it 2 the shower at bout 7:15! but not b4 getting my canteen. BBQ chips didn't come but it's a dollar saved!

By like 8 I was feasting on the 3 small bowls of cereal I saved up, 2 donuts,a green apple, n a pb n jully sandwich, unable 2 drink milk I had water on the side! Ain't nothing 2 it,grew up eating cereal and water! Kids gotta eat!!! Thankful I had enuff time 2 get more water so I could make some Sunny D mixed with ice cold orange juice! Work for me.

Let my food digest 4 bout an hour then pulled myself outta bed n determined 2 get some of my correspondence course done! Glad I did as God highlighted a point in the syllabus. Basically I gotta go 2 "war" if I want 2 get back what the devil stole from me. Matthew 11:12 n Genesis 14 (Abram had 2 go to war 2 get his family back) Thoughts surfaced of how the devil stole my personality! Used 2 smile n b full of life but overtime being victimized n put down had me harden my heart. Time 4 a change.
"God help me walk in Jesus love. Already getting mean mugged n picked on n circled by sharks! But what else is new? Help me turn the other cheek. N focus on my calling n purpose."
Did my homework while dabbling on my daughter's apology poem. 10:45 I got in bed n waited 4 lunch
Not much 4 ground up meat (hidden treasure's) so I gave the sandwich away. Nothing left but sunchips n a coookie. So b it. Thankful I gotta extra bag of chips.
Bored I did a short prayer,then turned on the TV. Normally doing what I do. check the menu up 2 like 10pm! Nothing on all day! sports but I'm starting 2 get over them n TV in general. Still I decided 2 keep flipping. Who would of thunk that I would land on QVC! Had 2 be the T-shirts!!! Long story short,they were by Candace Cameron Bure,who playedd DJ on Full House n who I had a crush on! "AJ n DJ sitting in a tree..." Any who she a Christian n just put out a clothing line of inspiration t-shirts, she also had a journal n esv Bible with a devotional in it. Listening 2 the segment gave me hope as I'm working on compiling a book of upbeat life inspiring quotes, come 2 think of it each one could b a stand alone shirt! even a QVC one! Also thought of trying 2 get on QVC to sell shirts n the devotional/journal I'm set 2 get published immediately upon release. Got supero excited when the host mentioned she was Christian n does devotions with her kinds n journals. Oh a potential customer! Juse like Candace and this woman Kierston? was gorgeous and married. This fact kept me inspired regarding marrying a beautiful Christian woman,who has a lovely attitude,elegant feminimity n spiritual priorities,one who can help me grow in my relationship with Christ... In my own journal I logged how QVC was Christian friendly! not sure bout the felon part!!!

ENsuingly i watched a lil bit of Different Strokes,college football, college basketball, n Corrupt Crimes, even a show called Mastermind's. Bored I turned the TV off n just laid there b4 deciding 2 finish 2 cross necklaces n pieces 4 a bear!

Wow! 4 o'clock
time 2 eat!
good something I can stomach. Pastrami n cheese sandwich, strawberry jello cup,cup!of pineapple, bag of Lays potato chips! I ate it all including the extra jello n pineapple. Capped it off with a pb cookie I saved from earlier.
Now time 2 let my food digest
got half hour day room at 5pm n I desperately want 2 get a hold of my daughter!
No luck
so I called my brother, my best friend,...
no luck,no luck...
Then God was able 2 tell me who 2 call
Gene.
SOon he answered I thanked him 4 blessing me with some funds. I then spoke on how we might b off lockdown on Monday n the pros n cons of it from my perspective. Look more 4ward 2 school n work than working our. Need all the computer lessons I can get! Outdated program or not!
At some point I told him of a reentry place in his hometown. Said he heard of em n that he plugged with them n will b speaking at they graduation thing this coming week. Also told me they looking 2 expand into my hometown- Racine! Work 4 me! More hope is birthed! Especially after he told me they mess with people who really living life/run businesses etc. Yeah I'm on that. Been entrepreneurial since I was lil saving money was my problem. After bout 10 minutes of this I toldd him bout the whole QVC encounter. That changed everything!

Told me bout his seeing the clothing line of a guy who just got out of prison! (More hope)
Got better as he stipulated his knowing people who could help me 2 the same n that he'd love 2 b a part of it!!!
What R the odds?
Went from seeing a clothing line on QVC 2 envisioning maybe mines being on there one day 2 my calling Gene n telling me things R in place if I'm serious bout being a fashion designer/entrepreneur!!! Told him all my designs at home just waiting for me 2 get there!
What R the odds Im spose 2 se parole one of these days n now got something new to share.
They definitely want 2 know U gotta job waiting on U?R employable.
Boy am I?!?
What R the odds the QVC has a Bible,devotional, journal also advertised along side the shirts?
What R the odds I design shirts,wrote a devotional/journal prayerfully considering doing a bible with commentary so as 2 alloy biblical truths 2 our daily lives especially Proverbs 4:23
