Good morning all. It's a beautiful Saturday morning and I am thankful to be here. How are you and what was your favorite part about this past week?! Remember, to comment on my blog, you have to be subscribed to my blog. Welcome to Maryam's Joyful Life! Today is a wonderful day and I'm so grateful that you could stop by today.
So this week was full of so many activities for me and I wanted to share some memorable moments with you today. To start off, my baby boy and I got new haricuts and we really like it. We are very thankful for our new barber and he definitely does a great job! If you live in the Atlanta area, stop by Lovejoy, Ga Walmart and checkout Manny. Let him know I sent you :). This picture with me and Le'Veon was taken after our haircut.
Since Le'Veon's graduation from Kindergarten, he'd been asking to be taken to Outback steakhouse. Zozo couldn't let me have peace without asking to be taken to Outback steakhouse either. They both drove me crazy, with their persistence. Anyways, we finally went to Outback in Stockbridge, Ga and it was quite the experience. We had an amazing waiter and he took amazing care of us. The kids asked for steak but they didn't eat much of it. I had to threaten them in order for them to take a little bite. They ate the bread and fries though. The strawberry lemonade was amazing and I recommend it. I also recommend their potato soup, which comes as a side when you order a steak dinner. I ordered Newyork T-bone steak. I may have forgotten the actual name lol but the picture above is my steak. It was delicious and I devoured the whole thing. I also enjoyed their cesar salad. It was amazing too.
Here they are, my world and loves. They got what they persistently asked for. This reminds me to not give up when it seems like my prayers are not being answered. My kids teach me a lot about God and me. God never intended for us to give up and live our lives feeling unloved and poor. My kids kept asking until they got what they wanted. We as adults need to not giveup when it seems like what we've been praying for is being delayed. We should rather get excited and ready for what we've asked God for.
Here's a picture of my cesar salad and potato soup. Very delicious and most satisfactory.
Last Sunday, church was packed because my pastor Real Talk Kim had a retreat with her mentorship program RTK Inner Circle and it was amazing. The overflow was packed at church and I couldn't help praying for a bigger church building. I will definitely support that dream. If you want to be a part of my pastor's Mentorship program heres the link https://innercircle.realtalkkim.com/ You will thank me later for joining.
Here's a photo op moment from RTK Inner Circle retreat. I felt like I was on the cover of a magazine. It was great!
During the week, our "What is My Purpose Program," on YouTube was still on and my breakfast was paid for by my team of producers :). This picture was from one of our visits to eat breakfast at chick fil a.
I have been very blessed and empowered from the last three weeks of spiritual service to thousands of people, at 6:00 AM each morning. We prayed, we healed, we were delivered and we raised our vibrations, ready for the blessings that we have asked for and that have already been given to us by Jesus Christ. God is so good and I am always ready and excited to share my testimonies. I have learned that God also heals others when we share our testimony with them. As we share our testimonies, their faith is stirred up and they also receive their blessing.
Here's the last video from a much needed three weeks program, where I discovered new things about myself that I am grateful for. I am also very excited for what God has in store next and I say "YES!"
Thank you for reading my blog to the end. Remember to keep your mind on CHRIST and stay focused on the good and you will see and experience more of it.
