mowed, low carb, b-in law

I was suffering this morning but I persevered and I completed the front yard.  I can only think that the rain that came a few days ago has caused mold and mildew and  I am allergic to those plus a few other things.  ''''''''''''

I have been low carbing a few days now and I am enjoying the wide diversity of foods that I can have. It is restrictive for the first week but it is worth it when You consider that I have lost almost 4 pounds since Thursday.  I don't go hungry and I don't have cravings. 

My brother in law is in the hospital and we have no idea what is wrong.  He has had heart surgery 2 yrs. ago and today he started shaking and sweating and huting in his chest.  I hope he does not have to have surgery again he kept saying last time that he wished he had died.  

Speaking of sick people, a friendofmine has a grandson that has bone cancer (I have talked about him before-his name is Josh)  He goes in the hospital in NC next week for a bone marrow transplant,  the dr.s are only giving him a 50-50 chance of survival.  PLEASE BE PRAYING FOR HIM.  

In the morning I start on my garden the weeds are taking over. and I think I will plant some more cucumber seeds.  I know it will be a late crop but my first ones are not doing too good and I love cucumbers and home grown is so much better than store bought.

I am looking forward to doing the new 30for30 challenge next month.  I am going to try to follow the low carb every day.  I will look up how many carbs I should have a day and then stick to that for the week that I am on.  Each week you get to add a few carbs to your menu.     That will be my challenge and I will continue to do the exercises every day.  I should say I am going to do it 6 days a week, that was if something happens that I can't do it one day it will be ok.

Hope.
A simple word that brings light into darkness.
It is not just wishful thinking, but an earnest expectation.
Often times, when the whole world seems to be against us, hope can appear to be really dim. It is at these times that we often feel helpless and depressed. Yet, we forget that even IF the whole world is against us (which often isn’t the case), God is still there for us. He has promised to never leave us or forsake us, and will always be there for us no matter how bad we may have messed up.
In fact, His Word continually declares how much He loves us and wants the very best for us. We can be encouraged in His Word as they show us how much God desires for us to succeed and achieve great things in our lives.
Therefore, let us be joyful in His presence, and be encouraged in our hearts, knowing that He desires to see us accomplish our purposes. We can trust Him and hang our hopes on Him as He has promised to fulfill His plans for us.
As you read through the quotations on hope recorded below, remember this - not only is God our Help in the ages past, He is even more so our Hope and Strength in the years to come.
