My mom finally got a hold of the man and he said he had an emergency with a family member but he will be coming here soon.

I have not been to church since then either, but... we have stayed in touch (services were in/on
zoom for a while), and while I was hospitalized for almost four days in in July, a church elder visited
me and asked me if I needed help with anything. I have been to his house lots over the years for
community groups and other events because he lives so close to me. Any ways, he delegated my
request to another and eventually just over a week ago I was whisked away to visit my pastor's wife
(who I had not seen for over two years!) and their new baby, while a team of seven people descended
upon my apartment to tidy, clean, and organize. It took that long for them to act because I kept
putting them off, being somewhat embarrassed at how much I had let things go, as I blame myself
for being lazy and unmotivated regarding housework, but the reality is I have had three surgeries
in the last two years and have other issues that make any prolonged physical exertion very
difficult for me. I was not gone that long but when I came home their efforts were very
appreciable including how steamy and much like a sauna my apartment was with all of them
slaving away! LOL. They fixed my vacuum cleaner too, and even washed my windows. The next night
when I went to bed I wondered what the light from my living room was, and it was simply that my
windows were letting in so much more light :eek::giggle: Now they are wanting to arrange someone
to come and help me go through all my paperwork that has been piling up that needs shredding.
My little cat enjoys having more space to zoom around in, and sprawl inelegantly as she does :LOL::D

I love my church and they really are a great bunch of people :love:

Thank you, Poinsetta :) I hope the surgeries are done now too! The last one was in August, two years after the first. I have a new 4.5" surgical scar and it occurs to me some days that I am lucky to be alive. Of course I felt that way even before all this started haha what with how I lived my life prior to my conversion ;) Life is good and God is great :D I hope you are able to get all your home projects done (y) I hear from some home owners that good help is hard to find, but the folks that came here I call the super dream clean team lol. I have mentioned to them how "funny" it is that nobody wants to take credit for what they have done for me! Truly they all act like I have done them a huge favor in allowing them to be a blessing in my life, and I surely let them know that they are :)
