the best laid plans of mice and men-------------------------------------------

well I did not get to church this morning or this evening.  Sister called and mama was having such stress over the way brother is treating her.  He had threatened her and called her a liar.  Now mama is 84 yrs. old and has been a Christian for many years, brother told her she was a sinner and headed for hell.  She knows he does not have any where to go, and she is hoping that taking her to church and being around decent people will make him more receptive to the Spirit when It starts calling to brother.  It is not happening.  Goodness she should have figured it out by now, but that is her son and while I have never had to throw my son out I can only imagine how hard that would be but I think he has gone too far.  I think he has gone so far that he would have a difficult time hearing the wooing spirit when it speaks to him.

I have eaten a lot of calories today, mashed potatoes and mooshu pork (home made and no bread) it was delicious.  and collards, (don't normally like collards but these were delicious) and green beans and one baked chicken thigh (I should have removed and discarded the skin but I didn't) So far sounds good Right?????????? Here is where I messed up----I got the bag of chips and ate almost 3/4 of the full bag.  Not all at one time but still it went into my stomach.  Still the calories are going to be in my system headed for all those fat cells that I have worked so hard to shrink.  I can see it now all those fat cells having a party and lining up to get there shot of helium calories so they can blow up like balloons. 


I hate being stressed,  I quit smoking around 8 yrs ago and I have not wanted a cigarette but I have wanted to eat.  Stress makes me want to eat, eating makes me gain weight, Have you noticed I don't handle stress very well???? Gaining weight makes me stressed. It is an endless cycle. 

Ok done complaing.  This was my pity party,   From  now on when I start feeling stressed I am going to sing
Though satan rages, I will not be defeated, we've got the power in the name of the Lord.

I will remember my grandson
Five yrs. old and had the end of his finger cut off.  The dr. said they would have to grind the bone down because the flesh and the skin was not growing over the finger and the bone was exposed.    Three weeks ago he still said he might have to grind it down.  Friday night I took him to the Golden Harvestors meeting and gave a very short speech about how grateful I am for the  healing power of God.  He went around and showed everyone his finger.  The flesh and skin completely covered the bone and his fingernail was about half grown out.  You could barely tell the end of his finger had been cut off.  God is good He is our savior and our healer, He is our redeemer,  He is our Rock He is the Good Shepard and He is in control always.

I will remember how I was an athiest and He loved me enough to take the blinders off of my eyes so that I could see.  He loved me enough to take me from a world where I was lost and headed for hell and put my feet of the solid path that I would walk toward an eternal home with Him.

I will remember how He healed my husband of lupus.

All of this family drama is stressful but I will remind myself that

  He is in control always.

On a bright note, My dh said I could start walking again.  I don't know if the dog is dead but noone has seen the dog lately so maybe he is dead.  I havent heard how the child is ,  I hope she is alright.

Sleep well
God bless
