I had such a wonderful time today at church.
Our Sunday School lesson was on the faith of Abraham. The last few lessons were about Abraham and they could all have been titled "The God of the Impossible."
Tonight we had a 5th Sunday singing. All of the singers were just local talent but they loved the Lord and we all got such a blessing from hearing the praises of the Lord being sung. It reminded me so much of David and how he loved to sing songs to God and about God.
My calories for today was 1385 and pedometer steps was 11816, my exercise was 30 minutes arobics and 35 minutes walking and then playing with my 2 yr. old grandson after we got home from morning service.
The library for the church is beginning to come togeather-only in the planning stages at this point. But dh did look at the room tonight and has some idea about how much lumber is going to be needed and a round about figure on how much it will cost. He will think about it a bit more and then turn in a rough estimate. Hopefully it will be approved and things can start moving forward. I am so excited about starting this.
Tomorrow I will be exercising, then shopping, then walking, then writing and reworking my speech for Tuesday night at Gilead Babtist Church.
I really need to find time to wash clothes and to straighten a bit.
Washing clothes is a must but I can put off straightening for a few more days.
I don't mind too much putting taht off, it is not one of my favorite things todo.
Holy Father
thank you Lord for this marvelous day you have given to me. I cherish your gifts and do not take this lightly. I am glad I was able to be with some of your other children, that togeather we raised our hands and our voices in praise to you.

213.8-What can I say-I knew it would catch up to me
I have so enjoyed this day, I got up this morning praising God as I came awake. That is always such a wonderful way to wake up.
I did 10 minutes of hand weights using increased weights, and then 30 minutes of arobics, and 4 minutes of stretching. Then the computer and as soon as it got lighjt enough outside I put on my boots and went walking through the woods. It was so foggy I could not see but about 20 feet in frount of me, and it smelled fresh and healthy. I loved it and I prayed and worshipped as I walked.
My boots were soaked through when I got back and I had to take the inserts out and turn them over the vent to dry them out. And then I showered and I felt so good about all of that hard work. I came in and like I said I showered and got cleaned up, straightened a bit in the house read my bible and made some lemon bars for dh to take to the men's meeting tonight and then. I put a pair of old boots on and went walking again through the woods. It was hot but it just smelled so good and the birds were sweet and at one place there were dozens of tiny yellow butterflys swooping and floating all around me,. I loved it - God is so wonderful to me he gives me fresh air, yellow butterflys and green trees that keep the air sweet for me to breathe.
I must get some control over my appetite. It does not seem that I am eating a lot of food but I feel bloated and like my tummy is going to start rebelling. I must get back into some sort of control. I must I MUST - I MUST - I MUST.
Will yelling at me do any good? I don't know but everyone that reads this please pray or yell anything please send me you best wishes.
I need to start back to counting calories , I willstill go over sometimes but at least I will have an idea of where i am messing up at.
Dear Lord
I am a flawed and broken vessel and I pray my God that you would pick up this piece of clay and mold me and make me again to be strong and prepare me the be a sanctuary for you. Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. With God all things are possible because He is the God of the impossible.
Praise His holy name,
In the name of Jesus
Amen

214.0-back of hand laid to forehead "woe is me"
I am not really down about this-not the first time but I am not going to even act like I am so put upon to be gaining. I knew that the fluid I drank and drank and drank day before yesterday would catch up with me eventually. But really I know what i have been doing with my food. I have been eating enough to go into hybernation. I knowt hat for what ever reason is in my subconscoius I am turning to food to sooth my upset mood/ego/sub conscious whatever.
I must figure it out soon or a lot of damage will be done to me.
Last night dh and I went to a revival and it was so good. ANd on the way home dh said he had to go back to Manning and check to see if he had cut off the flood lights that lights up the owrk area . So he dropped me off and he grabbed keys to the house and flashlight and off he goes. It took almost 2 hours for round trip and so I stayed up till he got here and by that time I was interested in a show on tv and I stayed up later.
I went to bed after movie and slept a bit later this morning, but when I woke it seemed like I could here my Lord say "Child it's time to wke up. I am ready for our talk. I love you and I want to spend some time with you" What a wonderful way to wake up. I got up and I spent time with my God He is so wonderful to me and so faithful to keep His promises. How could I not love Him.
God bless you all,
love you all,
and I pray for you,
each of you that
reads this. May
my Lord bless you
according to His will.
Amen

The U in Jesus
I didn't write this, I found it on the computer and just copied and pasted it. If anyone knows who wrote it, please let me know so that I can give the person credit for this poem.
The U in Jesus
Before U were thought of or time had begun,
God even stuck U in the name of His Son.
And each time U pray, you'll see it's true
You can't spell out JesUs and not include U.
You're a pretty big part of His wonderful name,
For U, He was born; that's why He came.
And His great love for U is the reason He died.
It even takes U to spell crUcified.
Isn't it thrilling and splendidly grand
He rose from the dead, with U in His plan?
The stones split away, the gold trUmpet blew,
and this word resUrrection is spelled with a U.
When JesUs left earth at His upward ascension,
He felt there was one thing He just had to mention.
"Go into the world and tell them it's true
That I love them all - Just like I love U."
So many great people are spelled with a U,
Don't they have a right to know JesUs too?
It all depends now on what U will do,
He'd like them to know,But it all starts with U.

211.8-thoughts about this and that
Good morning
Dear Lord
Father above, thank you this day for giving to me a bible verse as I woke up. I know that you have a plan and I know that your plan is supreme. The bible verse you gave me was
"the steps of a rightous man is ordered by God" I don't think I have that like it is in the bible but the meaning is clear. You direct our footsteps, we must humble ourselves and tender our heart to hear you but I know that with my hand in Yours "all things work togeather for them that love the Lord" and that "You will perfect that which concerneth me"
Weight was up just a touch this morning and truthfully I am glad it is only up a touch. I mowed yesterday and got way overheated and could not get enough to drink. I drank about 3 sixteen ounce glasses of tea and water over a couple of hours and it was not going through me, (no bathroom visits) so I knew that my cells were absorbing that fluid like an old dried up sponge. I told dh that I would probably weigh 4 or 5 pounds more this morning. I am happy it was only 2 ounces. I suppose that it could still come and be there in the morning, but I will not beat myself up over it-I know that it will be temporary. Just looking at it will be a little depressing but I am going to try not to let it affect me.
Thought from the past:
I was born the 5th child in a family of 8 people. Mom dad, sister, brother, brother, brother, me, brother. There would have been 10 children but mom lost 4 and from the way she talked she was glad of it. In fact a lot of the time I think she would have been hapier had she been barren. She has told me she wished I had never been born.
Our life was drab and colorless. No color in our house or emotions (except anger) our clothes were drab our play was colorless and quiet we were not encouraged to be children in fact we were yelled at and called names and just emotionally abused. I was emotionally and physically and sexually abused by my father and my mom thought nothing of telling me I was stupid and ugly and fat. See no joyous color in our lives, just misery.
Now that was all we were used to and you don't miss what you don't have. I did not know there was color in the world.
BUT
Wonderful word
BUT
One day in the 3rd grade a little girl brought some red fingernail polish to school. AND SHE PAINTED ALL OF MY FINGERNAILS. What a beautiful gift to give to me. I had a red bird on my fingers, there set a red and beautiful sunset. There was a smile in the form of a color. There was beauty on my hand. Nothing can describe the joy I felt in looking at this tiny piece of color on my fingernails. I had bitten my nails for years so the nails were just tiny tiny pieces but she had painted each minuscule pices of nails that bright sunshiny color. Looking back on it if I had known about angels I would have sworn that my nails had been kissed by angels.
I proudly went home with my fingers that I looked at and smiled at. Not because I was proud of me but I was proud that such color existed and I was so lucky to have a bit of this color.
I came in and proudly said "Look, look what I was given at school"
And the floodgates of hell opened on me, and the wrath of the satan came down on my 8/9yr. old shoulders. I was yelled at and called stupid and beaten and I had to take a nail and scrape each precious speck of color off of my hands. Such horror that not only was I having to remove the color but I could not even keep the tiny specks. I had to throw them away.
I was called whore because I thought the color was so pretty. I did not know what the word meant. My dad sexually abusing me and him beating me for wearing polish. The irony was lost on me at that time but I do get it today.
To this day I love color, red and green and blue and yellow and orange, so much emotion can be displayed when you use the right color. I love yellow it is happy, and red is so joyous, blue is calming and green is lively. Everyone looks at color a different way.
This story is sad and it is also happy, I was abused but now I am not .
I once was a lost and unhappy child and now I am a Christian, and I am no longer lost and my entire world is filled with the color of God's love. He has given to me so much more than my childhood can ever take away.
He is the father I never had, He is my protector and my high tower. He is my rock and my best friend. He is the one that I run to when I need a solid foundation. He is my God and I love Him. He is the one that is unchanging and He loves me. His love for me lifts me above what was done to me and gives me a hope for the future-a hope for my eternity.
Praise His name for removing all of the hurt and pain and self hatred that was given to me by parents who did not know how they were supposed to treat their children.
Dear Lord
Thank You for your grace and your faithfullness in delivering me from the hands of Satan.
In the name of Jesus
Amen

211.6-My thoughts on *could-have-been*
Good morning and I am determined that it shall be just that regardless-----
I woke up this morning at 3 am and went to the bathroom---------just a little side note stuck here and interrupting the smooth flow of thoughts--------you know ai wish there was a prettier way to say bathroom, I kinda like loo but really how many people know that loo means bathroom, I like ladies room but takes way more energy to type than is pleasant, in other words a short word that sounds adult ~ not juvenile~ and sounds clean and sounds acceptable-----------------------When I went back to bed I could not sleep and I began praying -------another side note---------I really do love to wake up like that and just lay there praying and whispering to my Lord, sometime I will get out of bed and kneel in His presence. That is a most glorious feeling, it's dark and quiet and you don't hear traffic outside, just lovely. I thought about how yesterday went such a wonderful day worshipping God and being with others that love God.
So I rolled out of bed at aroung 4"45 and dressed, and went to the kitchen and straightened a bit and thought about the changes to my exercises that I am going to make. I increased my hand weights to 7 pounds and I will be doing at least 30 min of sometype of arobics every day to keep my heart stamina up. And the weights are to increase muscle and to give me some weight bearing exercises. We must be diligent in protecting this valuable living machine. It has to be well taken care of if we expect it to last in good shape for the rest of our lives. To day I did 30 min. of arobics already and 10 min of my new workout with my hand weights. That was challenging also I will be mowing today. I think this will be the last time that I will mow grass this summer, however I will be using the mower to pick up falling leaves and small grass withmy grass catcher until the leaves stop falling.
So as you can see I am having a fairly happy maorning and dh got up and exercised with me as I told him all the new stuff I had read about how to maximize our workout and not necessarily reduce the exercise time but to improve our exercise results. That is always a good thing
(insert *could-have-been* here)
No really I am insistant that it will be a good day
So he showered, and got ready for work and I fixed a sandwich of 2 egg whites and 1 whole egg, and 2 whole wheat slices of bread and one small apple and one cup of coffee, and one protein shake.
So he packed his lunch no big deall just put fruit and small can of tuna and crackers, in a bag, then he went to the truck and came back in saying he forgot to take his vitamins and i reminded him of his protein drink and he snapped at me, he said he hadn't thought of it. I said well now you have -this drink has much protein in it (hence the name-protein drink hahaha) I told him calmly now you have and he snapped again. and I stood there less than one minute holding the drink and I calmly set it down and calmly walked out of the room. No point in letting it excalate into something that we would both regret.
I pray that he will not let this attitude be with him all day long. He will have a miserable day if he holds onto his irritability.
I refuse to do it, today is the day that the Lord has made, I will not sully it with the pettiness of this world.And trust me this is petty, hurt my feeling for a bit but still it is petty.
And now dear readers I am going to close this diary and I am going outside to worship. My back yard is surrounded by trees, and I love being in Gods wonderful outdoors and lift my voice to him in praise and love. I am going to spray with bug spray because I know the mizquitos (spelled wrong) will be bad. Oh well for every beautiful rose there is always a few thorns,
I go to worship.
My God bless and keep each of you in His arms this day
Don't forget to tell the Lord you love Him
Dear God
I love you
I worship you
I praise you
Amen

Dear God
Lord I told you this morning in church that I love you, I thanked you for this day. You see God, I feel like this day is a gift You have given to me. I treasure this day because it is something that you gave to me. You Lord told me to take this day and enjoy it. I wish to use this day to tell you how much I love you. You have given to me abundantly. All I have to give you is me. I give to you my praisews and your word says that you will take the praises of your children andput them in the storehouse of the Lord. I wish I could give praises to you that were beautiful and that I could somehow make them more attractive. So Lord read my heart and God take every word that I utter and accept it as being the only thing I have for you.
Lord I also read in your book that you will take the praises of your children and that you will enhabit those praises. So where our praises are then that is where you will be.
I want you here Lord I want to be in your presence so I sing my praises aloud to you, I praise you
Let every thing within me praise you
Praise God
Praise God
I worship you
I love you
I praise you.
I will enter His gates with Thanks giving in my heart
I will enter His gates with paraise
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
He has made me glad
He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me gla-a-ad
He has made me glad
He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
Praise Him
I will praise Him
I will praise His mercy and His goodness
I will thank Him for His love
and His faithfullness.
The sunshine is beautiful, but Lord Your Son shine is beyond compare. The flowers you made are pretty
but Your glory is beyond compare.
Your very name is music to my ears, and your promises are my hope for the future.
Annoit the service tonight My wonderful Father. As we sing your praises let every heart be opened for the message into which You have breathed life. Let Your living waters nourish each person that sits in the vestibule. May people come tonight so that they can feast at your table.
And Lord please call my two children to your side. Let them have a hunger for you that only your love can quench.
In the name of Jesus Christ
Amen
Lord I also read in your book that you will take the praises of your children and that you will enhabit those praises. So where our praises are then that is where you will be.
I want you here Lord I want to be in your presence so I sing my praises aloud to you, I praise you
Let every thing within me praise you
Praise God
Praise God
I worship you
I love you
I praise you.
I will enter His gates with Thanks giving in my heart
I will enter His gates with paraise
I will say this is the day that the Lord has made
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
He has made me glad
He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me gla-a-ad
He has made me glad
He has made me glad
I will rejoice for He has made me glad
Praise Him
I will praise Him
I will praise His mercy and His goodness
I will thank Him for His love
and His faithfullness.
The sunshine is beautiful, but Lord Your Son shine is beyond compare. The flowers you made are pretty
but Your glory is beyond compare.
Your very name is music to my ears, and your promises are my hope for the future.
Annoit the service tonight My wonderful Father. As we sing your praises let every heart be opened for the message into which You have breathed life. Let Your living waters nourish each person that sits in the vestibule. May people come tonight so that they can feast at your table.
And Lord please call my two children to your side. Let them have a hunger for you that only your love can quench.
In the name of Jesus Christ
Amen

I didn't write this but I do like it
- Moses stuttered
– David’s armor didn’t fit.
— John Mark was rejected by Paul.
—- Hosea’s wife was a prostitute.—–
Amos’ only training was in the school of fig-tree pruning.
—— Jacob was a liar.
——- David had an affair.
——– Solomon was too rich.
——— Abraham was too old.
———- David was too young.
———– Timothy had ulcers.
———— Peter was afraid of death.
————- Lazarus was dead.
————– John was self-righteous.
————— Jesus was too poor.
————– Naomi was a widow.
————- Paul was a murderer.
So was Moses.
———— Jonah ran from God.
———–Miriam was a gossip.
———- Gideon and Thomas both doubted.
——— Jeremiah was depressed and suicidal.
——– Elijah was burned out.
——- John the Baptist was a loudmouth.
—— Martha was a worry-wart.
—– Mary was lazy.
—- Samson had long hair.
— Noah got drunk.
– Did I mention that Moses had a short fuse?
- So did Peter, Paul
- well, lots of folks did.
— But God doesn’t require a job interview.
– He doesn’t hire and fire like most bosses,
– Because He’s more our Dad than our Boss.
– He doesn’t look at financial gain or loss.
– He’s not prejudiced or partial,
– Not judging, grudging, sassy, or brassy,
– Not deaf to our cry,
– Not blind to our need

212.8-It's been a few days
I have skipped a few days in my writing but I have been so busy, I hope, dear diary, that you will forgive me for ignoring you? lol
OK here i go I hope I do not forget anything.
I don't remember when I wrote last but a lot has happened.
I was reelected to be President of the Golden Harvestors. Man I went to people and told them to vote for someone else I even suggested who they should vote for. I prayed about this and asked the Lord to let someone else be voted in. I said I would take it as a sign that He would allow me to go to another church. So I even tried to get every one to vote for someone else and what happens?????It's me again.
Please don't get me wrong I truly enjoyed being the leader, I learned a lot of skills I learned how to pray for each one their needs and desires, I learned organizational skills and leadership skills. I learned how to write lengthy and interestubg (I hope) devotionals. It was a good learning experience for me. BUT I know that my life concerning sister and mama would be less stressful if I were not president. They have been trying to bring me down since I was elected last year and it is more stress than I want to handle.
But God in his infinite wisdom has let His will be known to me, and for what ever reason I am here in this church. He has a purpose for it all and I accept His will in my life. God is good a gracious and I accept His will knowing that it is for the good and that He will not put more on me than I can bear. To His name goes all glory.
Dh and I have been going to singings and revivals every day for almost two weeks and it is still continuing. What a glorious way to spend our time. I like it so much better than sitting here at home watching stuff on tv that is not healthy food for our spirits. That is another prayer for us to bring before the Lord. Help us to make wiser choices in our entertainment areas.
I healr from Gilia church and and they want me to give a devotional for their womens ministries meeting. I am so excited about it. Not for me -but for the opportunity to give God glory and praise. How wonderful that this loving and graceful and faithful Lord would reach down His hands for me, I was an athiest and He saw where I was , He sought me out and called my name. I had a choice I could have ignored His loving voice, but I made the right choice, I placed my hand in His and my life has been a lot happpier since I chose the Lord over this miserable world.
Yes I still live in this world but NOW I have my Lord to turn to knowing that He loves me. It does not get any better here on this earth, the only way it will get better is when I step through those gates and see the face of my Lord. What a glorious day that will be.
I have had baby here since Yesterday morning, dd has spent the night here two nights now and she gets up and goes to work and I have not exercised since Sun. DD and her husband are both working a lot right now They go in early and they work late so it is just easier to come here spend the night and that way they do not have to drag the baby out so early. I do try to get my steps in mostly just walking and playing with the baby. At least it is something I have not given up on my exercise at all. But my eating seems to be spiraling up and up and up and ad nausium. I know that I am slowing down in my weight loss, I still pray about it. If anyone reads this say a little prayer for me please.
This week we are having a revival at my church. I take the baby becasue I really want to go to the preaching. I don't get quite as much out of it if I did not have him with me -after all he is only 2 yrs. old and he will act like a two yr. old. But I still get a blessing and God sees me stepping out and going to His house when it really would be easier to stay at home. He sees that I love Him and I am willing to be a little distracted in order to hear His word.
Small prayer
Lord -please bless the revival, and annoint the preachers and the testimonies and the singing. Let hearts be softened and spirits revived. Oh God let lives be changed. Let the praises ring and the joy be felt by all.
Amen
I have started a sister blog to this one. If anyone wants to read my writing search my profile and you will find it. Actually I have two sister blogs one is for my devotionals/speeches and the other is going to be about unusual things that happen to me, things that I can not find a rational explanation for. I know that some of them will seem like I am dreaming or that I am under some sort of mind altering drug, but I promise you that these things happened and that I was not hallucinating.
I had to take a 3 hour break from typing and I talked to my sister and my mom and a dear friend from another church, Alice. I thank God for letting her come into my life for she has been a blessing to me.
I think I have updated my journal on all the important things that happened to me in the last few days.
If I forgot anything then truly it could not have been all that important.
May God bless you all

???????? calories for today
exercise-25 minutes of floor exercises and hand weights
30 min. arobics
55 min walking
So I cooked today green bean casserole w bacon and and orange cake with lemon flavored iceing and it was delicious
We had the golden harvesters meeting today and guess what I was voted back as president. and dh was voted in as vice president I asked if DH could retire and I could get PF as my vice president, and everyone said yes. I love dh he is a good and steady man but if I needed to stay out for some reason then DH is so quiet he would not be able to say much at all. At least with PF she will be comfortable talking to everyone.
What a wonderful day the Lord gave to me. Not because I was voted back in as pres. but just becuase I woke up this morning and I had a good mind and I worshipped and I loved my family and they loved me back. I had food to eat and clothes to wear and a house that keeps me comfortable. God is so good to me and I can never thank Him enough for he grace and his compassion and the contentment that He gives to me every minute of every day.

A letter to my Lord
Dear Lord
Mighty Father
I love you
I worship you
My words are so inadequate
I bubble inside wanting to say the words that will explain how I feel
But the words will not come
The Lord indwells within me
The Holy Ghost indwells within me
My life I give to you
Thank you for your word
and thank you for your son
that was with you in the beginning
and was the word
and the word was made flesh and
dwelt amoung us as man
Thank you for the sacrifice of your son
Thank you Lord for the blood that was shed for me
Thank you for the blood that covers my sins
Thank you Lord
Thank you Jesus
For you paid the price for my eternity in heaven
You paid the ransom for me
You loved me
Thank you for loving me
Thank you for your stripes
Thank you Father for
giving me a hope for today and tomorrow
Thank you for your faithfulness
In the name of Jesus
Amen
Today I went out to worship and I praise the Lord for giving me a place outside, in His wonderful nature, that I can walk and talk with Him. I thank Him daily for His blessings. I walked to the end of my property praising his love and worshipping the beauty around me that He gave to me. I turned around and there in the sky was a beautiful rainbow, perfect in all detail, the same rainbow that He gave to Noah, full of promise and hope. The rainbow stretched from horizen to horizen. I watched in awe and it began a light rain warm and enveloping like a light shower that washes away the dust of this world. I felt that God was telling me that He is with me always, I took this to be a sign that God loves me. God is good and merciful, and faithful to His word. His word will never come back to Him empty or void.
I remain always your child,
I am undeserving of the blessings that He has given to me.
I love you Lord,
I praise you Lord
I worship you Lord
Amen

212.2-baby, computer, church,
11971-pedometer steps
1384- calories for today
exercises was-
25 minutes floor exercises and hand weights
40 min. arobics
40 minutes walking
My computer would not work last night. I tried to get here and post on my blog and I could not get it to do anything at all. PLUS my tv was messed up to, I could not get beyong the first 13 channels.
Baby came today, I do enjoy him so much, almost as much as I enjoyed my own children when they were this age. Everything they learn is like a huge wonder, and I can almost see the little light bulb flash on above head when he learns something new.
We went to church tonight and I felt so uncomfortable. Now I really think that as long as I am decently dressed (not tight clothes or revealing clothes, not see through etc) what God sees is the blessed blood of His son-my Holy Jesus Christ. And I do not think he cares about my hair but every woman in that church had hair down their back and my hair is about 2 inches long, And I wore pants and every woman there had on a long and loosely flowing type dress. I had a lot of people glancing at me out of the corner of their eyes and very few people even spoke to me or dh.
That was my day
God bless you all
sleep well
and sweet dreams
Dont forget to thank God for this wonderful day that He gave to us.
Lord I thank you for this day and I thank you for allowing me into the thrown room of heaven.
"I will enter His gates with praise"
Yes Lord I praise You as I walk into your presence.
Thank you for letting us hear Your word preached tonight, please Lord don't let the words spoken tonight come back empty let Your seeds be planted in fertile ground and Lord, let the harvest be huge.

213.4-church, church, church, exercise, baby,
1342 calories for the day
8738 pedometer steps for today
exercise was 25 minutes of floor exercises and hand weights,
40 minutes of arobics, and some walking while I talked on phone
I got up at 5:30 to exercise 40 minutes of arobics and 25 minutes of hand weights and floor exercises.
Showered, dressed for chuch -got baby ready for church and baby still had a runny nose so we stayed home from Sunday school. I just don
't think it is right to send him to SS and expeciting others to wipe his nose.
after morning church we came home and rested about an hour and then we went to Terrils and listened to the Leo church preacher and his sisters sing. So so so wonderful and such a blessing.
Then home and rested ate supper and went to our church and then home again. t
Tomorrow night we will go to Hemingway to a church called Cornerstone and we will have a district meeting. I just know that we will have a wonderful blessing and a great worshipful time in the Lord.
Jenny comes topmorrow to go to the dentist again so I will have the baby for a little while. That is ok I enjoy having him with me, he is such a little cutie./\
I am hopoing that my weight will be down some tomorrow. I have got to learn how to tell lmy dh NO when he suggest us going tout to eat at the chineses place. Not only is the food high in calories it is also high in sodium and that just makes me thirsty and I drink so much and even though what I drink is sugar free it still makes me puffy from all the liquid and that puts weight on me.
I love You Lord, I worship You,
You are my life and my reason for living and I know that without You I would be totally lost for ever.
Praise You Lord for the many blessings that you send to me daily.

209.6 shopping, dd and g-baby, and so much fun
12156 pedometer steps
******-calories for today.
exercise is hand weights, floor exercises, and shopping and walking while I talked on phone.
I had such a good day today, I worship my Lord always and ask for His blessing on my life and for my children. I pray that He would open their hearts and minds before the time slips by and it is too late.
DD and i ate and Ruby Tuesdays and then we shopped and talked and laughed. It was a wonderful day with her and baby.
Then I got a call from preacher and he wanted prayer for our neighbor and fellow church goer BM and his wife cause she is under some stress because of the heart operation they did for BM also for another person that goes to our church. He is also in the hospital and needs our prayer and so does his wife. They are both older and I know they are both under some stress. So anyone that reads this please say a prayer for these saints of God.
Dh and I went to an addictions meting tonight. No we really do not have any serious addictions well I eat to much and we know that that is not pleasing to God and it could be considered an addiction. Anyway it is also a fellowship time and that is the main reason that we went. And it was a wonderful fellowsahip we had there and I gave my testimony and then I was asked if I would return at their womens fellowship time and give the testimony again. Of course I said I would. I do not miss a chance to tell people how wonderful the Lord has been to me.
That was my day Now do you see why I think this was a wonderful day?
God bless you all

211.6-yikes, baby, womens ministry president, church
1365 calories for today
7607 pedometer steps
I am not going to write everything i eat each day, if I start overeating I may go back to doing it, but I think in order to save me a little time I will just say
breakfast was 160 c. and lunch was 125 C. and snack was 40
dinner was 350, add some fruit, 160, 1/2 apple, and some extra this and that and it equaled 1365 total for today.
no true exercise for today but I spent a lot of time chasing and being chased by a short, laughing, runny nosed 2 yr. old. His cold is better but still he has the symptoms and when it starts to run he stops and says " a-ma, baby nose." ans i get a tissue.
We voted for president of Womens ministry last night - of course I did not get to go becasue of baby but that was all right. The one they voted for is so mean looking sometimes, and she acts so bitter, but I have heard from a reliable source that her husband runs around on her so maybe she has reason to be bitter. Anyway I congratulated her tonight and really she is qualified to do it.
Church was really good tonight, serman was about loving our fellow men, and preacher Goude preached. Preacher soles went with his wife cause her mother was being operated on. It was a good service.
Dear Lord
I thank you for the wonderful people that reaches out to me in the church Lord and makes me feel like they accept me . Bless them Lord and keep them safe, and Lord bless the revival that we are going to have. I think we all need a revival in our spirit.
I pray in the name of Jesus Chrsit
Amen.

Ok This morning, son in law hurt his leg and had to go to dr. He spent 4 hours there and he has to make the time up at work. DD has to work late and I still have baby. I was supposed to go to womens ministry meeting tonight but can't because baby is still a little sick. That is ok, BUT I had made a red velvet cake to take and now that cake is in there screaming at me enticing me calling my name in such a seductive way.
I am feeling a lot better about things than I did this morning. I prayed and let the lord handle things. I read something on the computer today that I think will help me out a lot. This article said that instead of letting negative things bring me down I need to start planting positive things. Really good advice. It will not be easy but I do think it is good advice. Instead of saying she hurt my feelings I say she is doing a good job. etc.
Tomorrow dd and her husband have to work late again and baby will be here with me. I hope baby is better and I can go to church but if not then I will stay home with him. Such is life -right?
That is it for tonight
God bless you all

So many thoughts and not much solutions
I have baby here today but Ijust fel the need to put some of my thoughts down here. I know it will take me a long time because I will have to keep stopping to take care of baby.
I feel so very alone today, I have tried to pray aI have taken it to the Lord but I have no peace from it.
I knowthat this is all minor but I am so tired of my sister talking about me and saying things about how I hate her grandchild I do not hate her grandchild. I got tired of sister calling me and waking my grandchild up so she could tell me about her grandchild. She even calls my mom and tells her about how I hate Katie and I am jealous of Katie. I used to love to go to church early and just sit there and pray in the quiet of the church. When she got her grandchild she started coming to church early and that was ok but then she started talking about me and how I never showed her grandchild attention. I don't go to church to worship Katie i go to worship God. and Now I feel I have to go to another church to get the peace that I should have.
I know she loves her cgandchild I love mine but I do not expect anyone to show attention to my grandchild.
Oh well I am just so lost this morning lost in my thoughts and lost in my direction. My sister pushed me away and she talked to mom in such a way that I pulled away from mom.
And it is all because of Barbara and her mouth. What to do ????
My first instinct is to run and run and run. I am trying to turn it over to the Lord really I am. But this has been going on for months and I see no easing of the hurt that it has caused me.
Dear Lord
Please dear God give me back the joy of my heart give me back my joy in my first love. Satan is a liar and he hates me because I love You. He hates me because You love me.
I rebuke satan in Jesus name.
I pray oh Lord that You would pick me up and settle this problem in what ever way You feel is right. I beg You let me go to another church, I know you have told me several times ---I know I have heard Your voice tell me to "stay where I put you", again I heard you say "I put you there for a purpose" and again I heard You say "I have work for you to do there"
But Lord could I be mistaken in what I am hearing could I be hearing my own mind. Do you have a reason for me to stay there. I am only a 2 yr. old Christian and I am so upset over the way I am being treated and I want to go to some where else. Is anyone out there that reads these blogs? If someone reads this then give me your thoughts.
Lord help me
In Jesus name, Father help me
lift me,
take away my ache and my doubts in myself
strengthen me to do your will
lift me on eagles wings above the problems of this world.
Hold me for a little while and give me peace.
Amen

210.0-slept in,devotional, mowed, mowed again, home
10378 pedometer steps
1340 calories for today
exercise was 80 minutes of mowing and walking
I must have been sick last night because I had to add an extra blanket to my bed . And I could not get to sleep , the last time I looked at the clock it was almost 2 oclock. So at 5 am when dh got up and I was supposed to get up so we could exercise togeather I just could not make myself roll out of bed. I lay there and slept. I did get up before dh left for work but we did not get to work out togeather. In the morning I promise myself that I will . I got dressed and I prayed and read the bible and started studying my Sunday School lesson for next Sunday.
ANd then the grass had dried off enough and I mowed the way back of our property. It took me 60 minutes and I was covered with sweat. I have always heard that animals sweat, men feel the heat but ladies do not sweat they get dewy. But let me tell you I sweated this morning. Pushing a mower fro 60 min. will make a anybody sweat.
I came inside and cleaned myself up and watched tv, labor day had a lot of law and orders and CSI's on and I enjoyed everyone I watched. Then I got a call from my mom she wanted to know if I would come over and do some mowing on their yard. It was just trim work just coming around the house close up and around some trees . They can't get the riding mower up close to the house so of course I did. It did not take me long at all to do it, maybe 20 minutes. BUt I was glad to do it, I love it when I can do something like for others and I get extra exercise in too.
My menu for today
breakfast-
yogurt-130
grape nuts 100
lunch-
tuna salad on
lettuce------300
snack-
Turkey roll ups-100
dinner-
zup di pesce-340
snack -
chocolate chip meringue -110
protein shake-110
extra-150
Total for today=======1340
Not bad for a total I am still trying to keep it around 1200, obviously I overdid it today. But still very good.
That was my day.
Dear Father
Thank You for being a wonderful God -a God that watches over us and helps us when we do not think we can act like a Christian. I praise You Lord for reminding me that even though my mom speaks rough to me, I am supposed to show her respect and show her a Christian attitude. It would have been so easy for me to turn it all back on her but my God reminded me, he wanted me to show her love and respect. I praise You Lord for holding my hand.
Lord You are wonderful to us all and I worship You and I praise You, You said Father where our praises are that there You will be. Let me praise You always and continuously Lord for I want You always here. I want You to walk with me all day, to hold my hand and carry me on the wings of eagles. And I Lord will praise You continously just so I can continuously be in Your presence.
Please Lord, bless M and R they need a touch from You today, and oh Father, Mom and Day

211.0-Sunday-church, g-son, diet, and church again
Another perfect day of worshipping.
10933 pedometer steps
1220 calories for today
exercise was 70 min. arobics
and walking while I talked on phone
So I got up early and did 35 minutes arobics, showered and then baby came. I picked him up to hug him and saw his glazed eyes and he said hi a-ma and laid his head on my shoulder and I knew he was sick. Just a cold but still he was fevered and so I stayed home from church this morning. I am not upset or angry about it at all. I am the one that chose to stay home. I just think it is so inconsiderant for people to take sick children out where they can make others sick. I gave him some tylenol and held him and he eventually went to sleep.
When he woke he acted like he felt better. Anyway he played a lot, but I could not get him to eat very much. Mostly snacks and cool aid is all he wanted. Not the time to push food, I choose the battles.
Then this afternoon I did 35 more minutes of exercising. Plus I did some walking while I tlaked on the phone.
This evening I went to evening service and it was a good service, a very good worshipping time and we could feel the power of God move amongst us.
My diet was-
breakfast-
dry cereal-150
1 cup coffee-40
lunch was
3/4 cup imitation crab meat-100
2 Tablespoon liagh mayao-130
1 slice diet whole wheat bread-40
lettuce and tomatoe-40
1/2 cup okra-25
1/2 cup squash-35
snack-
apple-70
dinner-
1 can tuna-120
1 diet bread-40
1 T light mayo-65
2 T. raisens-70
1/2 apple-40
1/2 cup stewed tomatoes-40
snack-
1/8 angel food cake-50

I am so happy about how the Lord is giving me strength to not give in to the desires of the flesh. I love to eat and I struggle not to indulge. It is only by tyhe grace of God that I am having strength to stay on course.
Dear Father
I thank you for this day I am so happy that you loved me so much, Lord you give my life meaning, without you Father my life would be so empty.
I praise you for your grace, and for the hope for the future life that you have promised me but mostly God I thank you for the son that you gave ot us. I thank you for the sacrifice of your son
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have ever lasting life."
He is mine, He is mine, I am blessed beyond all measure He is mine.
I love you
Amen
10933 pedometer steps
1220 calories for today
exercise was 70 min. arobics
and walking while I talked on phone
So I got up early and did 35 minutes arobics, showered and then baby came. I picked him up to hug him and saw his glazed eyes and he said hi a-ma and laid his head on my shoulder and I knew he was sick. Just a cold but still he was fevered and so I stayed home from church this morning. I am not upset or angry about it at all. I am the one that chose to stay home. I just think it is so inconsiderant for people to take sick children out where they can make others sick. I gave him some tylenol and held him and he eventually went to sleep.
When he woke he acted like he felt better. Anyway he played a lot, but I could not get him to eat very much. Mostly snacks and cool aid is all he wanted. Not the time to push food, I choose the battles.
Then this afternoon I did 35 more minutes of exercising. Plus I did some walking while I tlaked on the phone.
This evening I went to evening service and it was a good service, a very good worshipping time and we could feel the power of God move amongst us.

breakfast-
dry cereal-150
1 cup coffee-40
lunch was
3/4 cup imitation crab meat-100
2 Tablespoon liagh mayao-130

213.6 Saturday morning and I have new plans
First of all
I am so thankful to the Lord as I am every day for being so wondrfully good to me, I woke feeling a lot better today and eager to start my day and my new diet plan. I feel that this one should work, at least for a little while.
I have had breakfast and a vitamin. I had an omelet made with 2 eggs and one egg white and 1/2 can of mushrooms and one low calorie slice of whole wheat bread. I will come back tonight and I will list my foods and calories for the day.
I am going to have my devotional now and then I am going to mow my front yard. That will probably be all of my exercise for today, I have been unable to exercise for a few days and so I am going to take it easy for a few days. My bok suggest only 5 days a week exercising. Oh well we will see what works best for me.
Oh Lord I thank you for today and I thank you for me feeling better ( bless the sick that are on my prayer list) I praise you for leading me to a new diet and I ask your help in my success I know that with out you holding my hand I can not do anything. I give you the praise and glory for each wonderful thing you send my way.
"I can't even walk with out you holding my hand"
In the name of Jesus
Amen
