4th day of Daniel Fast

This is my fourth day of the Daniel fast and it is getting easier to control my cravings. I miss coffee and tea and I want a grilled cheese sandwich, but I am doing this as a sacrifice to my Lord, I will not give in. Would the Lord be happy with one half of a sacrifice?

I drink nothing but water, and I eat nuts and vegetables and fruits. I am feeling less bogged down, like my very cells have energy. It is hard to explaing but inside I feel less sluggish.

I mowed this morning and I also did a 70 minute leslie video. It is her 5 mile walk and she really puts you through it. It is a very thorough workout.

Have a good night
God bless you all

2nd day of Daniel Fast

Going good, I am reading all about Daniel in the bible, and how the way he wanted to eat made him healthier than the other slaves. I am not doing it for that reason, I am doing it as a sacrifice to God. I want to get ever closer to the Lord.

Baby came today and I really enjoyed him. he loves to play hide and seek only problem is he always hides in the same place. He runs to the end of my bed and just stands there. I go into the room and there he is but I say "where's Ryan, I can't see him. then I say is he over there--no not there and all this time he is standing there giggling. So cute and reminds me so much of my children when they were that age. I enjoyed them so much. I wish all mothers had the chance to stay home with their children at least until they start to school.

Dh and I went ot a revival tonight, the evangelist preached on Lot pitching his tent toward Sodom. it was a very good serman.

God bless you all.

First day of my Daniel Fast

Dh is also doing the Daniel fast with me. Since he has to work so hard I told him to eat one boiled egg and one serving of fish a day. I feel that those two thing are not too far off from what could be found from nature. I feel he really does need the extra protein. But we both did pretty good for our first day, although I feel that I ate two many calories, I am going to be a little relaxed about that until my Daniel fast is over with.

I washed and ironed almost all of our church clothes today, took me 55 minutes to iron them all. I am so tired and tomorrow grandbaby comes to spend the day with me.

Not much going on here today.

God bless you all

baby, church, funeral, groceries, church

THis was a busy and tiring and stressful day. I stayed mostly in the nursery during the funeral. I just felt that it was wrong to take a 2 yr. old in the area where family was mourning the loss of their loved one.

Tomorrow I will bbe doing the Daniel Fast. I amdoing it for spirtual closeness to God, I am so very hungry to have a closer relationship with my God.

Have a blessed nite everyone.

I am tired

This morning I did floor exercises and and weights and arobics and then I mowed with a push mower for 45 minutes. But I think I am more tired from all the calls I had to make last night. Helen and I pulled everyone togeather and I am so proud of the ladies of my church. They came through on such short notice and they brought more food than I expected. The family is sorta large and so all the food will be needed but so many of our church members are on vacation. But everything came togeather perfectly.

I got a new watch today, my old one quit and I kept trying to tell time on my non existant watch. It was not reall expensive but it is cute. It is silver. My wedding bands are gold but I did not care about that.

I went to the visitation tonight to see Liz and give her my respects and love Poor Liz I hurt so for her. Dear Lord, please hold her close and wipe her tears. Amen

The dr. said to write down all my exercise. Wonder if he would want me to put down the *ahem* special time that dh and I enjoyed earlier?

Good night everyone.

Good Morning(yesterday-blood work-dr.- pills-ACK

Yesterday dh and I got our blood work and my thyroid is normal. Dh and I called for an appointment to our dr. and he is working with me on my health issues. I can do nothing but give praise to my Lord for answering my prayer about my thyroid.. I can now start working on losing weight and I feel sure that my efforts will nfinally start having success. My cholesterol is way too high and dr. has me on some pills. I understood him to say that my high cholesterol is caused by genes from parents and my eating and exercise could not bring it down.

Dh had a high CSA and this really worried me. But dr. gave manual exam and said he could find no mass and he felt it probably was an infection. He is taking something for that and he is taking something else to reduce his sswollen protate. his Cholesterol is also high and I know that it is not because of his diet cause I make sure he eats healthy and that he exercises nearly every day.

My friends dd died last night at 11 PM. My heart aches for my friend -her name is Liz. The dd had cancer and we knew that she was terminal and she was a Christian and she is better off now but poor Liz, no mother should ever have to bury her child.

I am going to try to add more to this tonight.

Dr. told me to write down everything that I eat and to write down my exercise too so I will be keeping a written journal, so I will expand sister blog to include a more detailed summary of my foods and exercise. Everyone wish me well as I try to lose this weight and as I attempt to keep up with all that I consume.

Love you all and God bless you.

My Wednesday

I was still a little sick this morning and then I noticed that my sinuses were bleeding ok stuff sometimes happens don't it.

I had a good day with baby and I ate good and I exercised. My friends daughter is still in the hospital and I am sure that she is not going to amke it unless the Lord intervenes. Poor thing she has suffered long enough. I hope to go see my friend tomorrow just to let her know that we love her.

Not much happening around here. same old stuff

God bless you all

My much better today than yesterday

Yesterday I slept almost all day I was a really sick girl. Shivered and I had 5 blankets on me so middle of May in the south you know I was running a fever. What ever it was left me today and I say oh thank you Lord cause I was miserable for a while. (sinuses)

My friend's daughter is not expected to live, she has cancer and has been diagnosed as terminale.

A friend of ours has jpancreatic cancer and is not expected to live and my dad has a huge tumer on his liver. So much sickness and so much sadness.

Bless you everyone.

One liner updates

Went to church twice today it is coming up onto pentacost Sunday and the sermans is about pentacostal movement.

Sister did not go to church, I think she knows that she exagerated and she is ashamed of herself.

We took grandbaby to church with us and he is so very cute, and so very just a 20 month old baby. He lost interest fast, and he squirmed and stood up and layed down and whispered loudly and talked to people and needless to say I did not get a lot out of the service this morning but he is just a baby so I am just going to try to teach him better manners.

I had taken so much stuff today for the pain that I actually fell asleep during evening service. Talk about being ashamed-----I really was but I really was not feeling good.

That was my Sunday--
How was yours?

Let me tell you about my Saturday

This has been a very nice day.

Sometime ago I ordered some sermons on CD. They were by Larry Clark from Wagram Church of God and this preacher is on fire for the Lord which is why I wanted the sermons. Five came yesterday and the rest came today. I have alredy listed to 5 of them and they are so good. They teach and lead and exhort God. And they do just what a good sermon is supposed to do. If you want to listen to a serman by him, google wagram church of God and somewhere on his site is two sermans you can listen to, Both of them are excellant and you will get a blessing if you listen to them.

I talked to several friends on the phone and studied the Sunday school lesson and it is such a wonderful lesson . Dh and I went over it tonight and it took us almost 2 hours to go over the entire lesson. I have been studying it a little every day and I go such a blessing each day and I was so excited to share with dh all the things that I had learned. The lesson is on communication and I just loved finding all the ways that God communicates to us. He is so wonderful and right now I feel that my cup runneth over.

Then I talked to our Sunday School superintendant and begged him to order me a sunday school commentary to help me with my lessons and he said he would.

See I told you God is good.

MY THOUGHTS, DEVOTIONAL, GOD,

I have decided to try this again. I really need someplace to write my thoughts and I need somewhere to put my speech/devotionals.

I went to a revival last night and the evangelists preached on keeping on pressing forward. Like the little lady did that had an issue of blood. Nothing would stop her she probably had to crawl but she did not stop. She recognized that she needed the virtue of Jesus and she kept going until she was able to touch Him. How thankful I am that even today we can reach out and touch Him and be filled and lifted up and healed by His wonderful presence.

All day long yesterday I was excited that I would have the opportunity to go to the house of God and worship I knew that there would be a blessing for me there. About mid afternoon I got an urgent ph. call from my sister and she needed me there immediately so dh and I hurried to her house -we got there in 3 minutes. The door was open and I ran in and she was sitting there weeping holding her grandchild and her lip had been bloodied. Her husband had hit her and busted her lip and bruised her arm and breast and it was because she did not want her dh to feed granddaughter snacks so close to their grandbabys lunch time. He got mad and started hitting her. I called the law and then called her dr. And I set there for about an hour gave her a icepack and talked and prayed and finally the law came. He asked all the right questions aned then he asked their ages and then he said to her " your husband is 68 and you are 64 ?" and she said yes and then he said "ya'll are too old to be acting like this" it was funny in a surreal kind of way.

After they left I made her call our mom, I did not want her to be alone and I thought she would pull herself togeather better with mom there so she called mom, and mom and dad came over and me and my dh came home to get ready for the revival. As I walked in the door here, I got a horrible headache, eyes hurting and pressure and swelling in my face. Sinus problems-I took something and my dh asked if I wanted to stay home and of course I said NO Satan was throwing everything he could at me to stop me from getting my blessing. It did not work, I went to church. My head stopped hurting and I got a wonderful blessing that I can hold onto . God is good and he is faithful to hear and answer prayer.

Chorus of one of my favorite songs----

I just got to tell you Satan
you can't cross the bloodline,
because I'm covered by the blood.
You may snear and you may fight
but you gona lose this battle tonight,
reme-em-ber
you can't cross the blood line.
