I am just one of the many members of this awesome community who up to this writing is still so confused of what's happening in this platform.  I am not one of the many big time whales or dolphin or orca in here, but I am just one of the many planktons who's greatly affected by this ***"update"***

I am not making this post to ride on with the trend and or to just earn something.  As a matter of fact I've read several posts about this thing already and I couldn't think anything to post in here right now that our internet is finally working and free from any interruptions so far and that my space bar seemed to be in perfect shape as of this moment except my question mark. bwahahaha how's that for a start?  I'm not allowed to ask or question anyone tonight hahaha.  But I praise God once again for the onscreen keyboard.  I can still do some steeming and or visit my followers and readers' blogs and read & give my comment as well.

I have really no idea about this thing the first time I saw this, I clicked and read it.  I was trying to redeem my rewards when I saw this red update.  Then I tried to redeem, do some post, and write some comments and even reblog some...but none of the following seemed to work...not even one.  So I tried doing it in busy.org.  It went well except for redeeming rewards.  So I got scared of losing my little earnings here.  I was HODLING for quite a while now because I've been waiting for the sbd and btc to boom.  And yes been praying too about this because I am hoping to settle some of the bills and my personal debts from good friends before this year ends.  I have envisioned myself finally debt-free before this year end and I have put my hope in the rising of the btc and sbd soon and very soon.

Maybe God is showing me that I have put my faith in the wrong source.  He is showing me that sbd & btc is not  the ultimate source of solution to my problems.  God is reminding me to put my hope and trust in Him.  I feel like He took steemit away from me for quite a while to show me that He is still on the throne.  That He is omnipotent God, the God of the impossible.  Right  now, it is impossible for me to earn more now that this update is still here.  I'm praying that soon it will all be resolved so that many steemians like me will be able to go and to keep coming back to steemit where real friendship will developed and that this community will continue to grow.

Good morning my fellow sweet and grateful steemians.  Today is Sunday, the last day of the month and I hope and pray that before my 1st year anniversary here in steemit, this issue will be resolved in Jesus' Name.

I am @sashley a.k.a. shirleynpenalosa, a recipient of God's love, mercy and grace. ❤️

Have a blessed and cool month of September 2018 everyone :-)❤️

I am forever grateful to God every day of my life for giving me everything that I need and praise Him all the more for not giving me everything I want. To God be all the honor, praise and glory ❤️ :-)
