Quirky People

In my life I have known many different types of PEOPLE! I probably could never describe them all. But I can tell you this, my grandmother said, "There's good and bad in every race." This thought was so deep for me, I thought and thought on it for years! It's so ambiguous and I could probably make a handful of ideas from it! And it really taught me not to judge others. And now today I say we should never judge others because only GOD knows someone's true heart and soul. Some people act one way and talk another way and most times they never make sense. They are so full of BS but they hide it, trying to even hide it from themselves. But nothing is hidden from GOD. 

I recently heard that smart people are quirky... Ive always been told how stupid I am and how worthless ... so it was a pleasant surprise for me when Google told me I was actually smarter than the average bear. I did take an IQ test when in my early 30's and I got 123! Which they say is higher than average. I really don't think about it much ... except... 

I feel like my goal is to simplify GOD! 

When you believe in the man Jesus, it leads you to some pretty fantastic stuff! The most important thing is what Jesus left us... The Holy Spirit! It is real and it is a blessing because it's always there in real time to lead and guide you into the way that is good! 

Isn't it wonderful to have an entity living within you telling you things, like the difference between good and bad, in all things! It's like a young person wondering about porn and they go to do a web search and the Holy Spirit inside says, "no its not good for you!" Don't even worry about it, there's so much good stuff in life it's good that you stay away from the bad stuff. You can avoid a lot of heartache and pain by staying away from people who are doing bad things. 

And the Holy Spirit is always there to warn you and give you an out! Well unless you dug in too deep with the devil and then no one can help you, you can't even help yourself. It's really best you stay out of  places where demons live.

I believe that we are here to make the world a better place! 

Every day I wake up I look for things to do that make life a better place. Yes, I'm quite quirky... let me tell you a few things about me... when I walk to and from work, I always pick up any trash along the way. I'm not getting paid for it, I just don't like the way it looks. I taught my kids like this... Imagine if everyone in the world threw their trash on the ground. I mean really imagine what the world would look like! I think that is so important, that we put trash in its proper place!

Another quirk for me is, most every day that I walk to and from work I always stop to smell the flowers at the old lady's house on the corner! She has wonderful flowers! I never pick them; I just stop and sniff long and hard! And I truly enjoy the moment and then I always walk away with a smile on my face! I do this sometimes 4 times a day 4 days a week!

Another quirk of mine is I talk to myself! Oh yes! Did you know smart people talk to themselves? When I was 12 I saw a man talking to himself on the bus, my mother said he was probably practicing a speech. Made sense to me. And sometimes I do look like I'm talking to myself, but for real, I feel like I am talking to GOD within me! 

And did you know that I will wash out all those little plastic containers for the recycle bin!?! Some people can't believe it! As one woman said, "not everyone's like you Nancy" and all I could think was what a great place this would be if everyone always cared enough to go the extra mile, for no other reason except its Jesus's Holy Spirit, telling them to do this!

It's not that I enjoy picking up other people's trash, it's that I do enjoy seeing the clean streets!

And even now, I have brought in a homeless woman from off the street. I know, that's not quirky, that's crazy! HAHAHAHA... no... lol... she's not on drugs; I think the best way to explain it is this way... She would rather sleep outside behind the cleaners or the daycare, rather to stay in a home where people are mean to her. I totally understand. 

People have been mean to me my whole life! Starting with my own blood mother. So, I'm used to it, but I don't like it. I never dreamed it would bring me to a place where I would be strong enough to fight demons! I don't enjoy it, but in the end, the serenity and peace are sure worth it!

Because there are people like Sharon, she is my favorite human in this life, she is good and kind and thoughtful! And she's always surprising me with wonderful things, like last Saturday she picked me up in her new car! And she took us to one of our favorite restaurants! We laughed a lot and cried a little! It was real! It's people like her that keeps my eyes on Jesus! Because it's the Holy Spirit that made her that way and she chose the right path!

In life there is good and bad, get through the bad times and enjoy the good times! One day as you get older things will just keep getting better! 

Well, they do if you figure out the places and people you need to stay away from! 

There are so many great wonderful, good things in this world... If you get it right! You will find the way to heaven! Choose Jesus! Let the Holy Spirit in! You'll be glad ya did!

GOD Bless US Everyone! IJCNA
