gulp, church, friends, music

I ate way too much today, I really think that when I came home from church tonight, I had a pntbutter and raisen sandwich and that put me over 1800/  I hear people laughing!!!!!!!! You mean you have never had a raisen and pntbutter sandwich on whole wheat bread?????????? You really ought to try it.  it is scrumptious.
Mostly what I ate through the day was some left over veggies from yesterday an apple and some of my delicious chicken soup? stew?  whatever it was it was really really good.

I also went for a walk.  2 miles and dh went with me.  He has work but it is outsde and it is still too cold to be working outside.   I bundled up really good.  Thick pants, thick socks, gloves, sweater, and wind breaker, and dhs insulated hat with attached ear covers.  and I had on a scarf around my neck.  I stayed warm.

Had a wonderful time at church, the singing was excellant and the sermon was one that I coud see building me up.  The Lord blesses those that hunger for Him.  What a wonderful message. 

I love having friends there and it is also wonderful that dh has friends there.   These are pals that he used to drink with and now he is going to church with them.  They drank togeather years ago and now they worship togeather.  I wonder just what the Lord has in store for all of these men?

Tonight I am listening to a singer called Quinton Mills.  It is a blessing to come home from church and pop in a cd and listen to praises being sung.  For so long I would come home and turn on the tv and watch people cursing or engaging in improper behavior or dressed in such a way as to be improper according to my standards.  Looking back on it I was cheating myself out of the wonderful after church time  but also filling my mind with such wordly things.  I am so hungry for more of God and just by me not separating myself from the world I was keeping myself from getting closer to the Lord.  This morning I watched a video of the Gaithers. They were honoring Billy Graham and that was a powerful video. 

That was my day, and my evening.  I hope everyone has a wonderful night
sleep well
and God bless
