storms are coming

Yep storms are coming again.  My dd lives about 30 miles from me and she already called and said hail had covered the ground.  Everyone say a prayer for our safety.

Josie I know it was hard to understand how I could pour so much dressing on my salad without realizing it, but dh and I have a small kitchen and we were working in there togeather.  We used to do that all the time when we were first married=sometimes I look back and i really miss those first few years of marriage.  I soppose real life just got in the way.  But anyway yesterday it seemed we stepped back in time for a little while and we were laughing and bumping into each other, at first by accident and then we both started just acting silly and bumping on purpose..  It was a lot of fun.

Today I have really had to battle myself -I had to mentally refuse to let it get to me. I called my pasor and talked to him for a few minutes.  I told him nearly everything,  I told him that evernone needs to be nurtured and mothered and I feel like I have been cheated.  He prayed for/with me and I feel a lot better.  It is not gone but it is sorta like when I used to have migrane headaches, the day after I had them I would not hurt but it would feel like Iwas going to start to hurt.  I always called that the echoes of the hurt and that is a good way to describe what I feel--- I am having echoes of my past pain.

I cleaned and did laundry and ironed for about an hour today.  I only iron our church clothes,  and even though most of them say something like permanent press or cool iron if needed,  the clothes simply look better if they are pressed.

I also did a 5 mile leslie video. 

I went out to check my peppers that I planted yeasterday and the deer had eaten the tops out of two and had eaten all the leaves out ofone.  SO  I called a friend  she runs a  barber shop and I asked her to save all the hair.  She did and late this afternoon I got the hair and placed it all around my plants. Deer does not like human hair.  That won't work long and next I will get some amonia and put it on a rag and put the rag on a post and that will keep the deer away for a while. 

This afternoon I also fertilized my tomatoes and cucumbers.  
My neighbor gave me some fresh home grown onions.  I like onions but truthfully the ones you buy in the stores are not nearly as good as fresh ones. 

Now I waited until the last paragraph to put down my eating-that way you might be done bored with reading and just skip over my eating for today.  It was bad-I stopped keeping up with it when I hit 1600+

Rough estimate I am thinking close to 2200. BUT I DID EXERCISE

The Good Shepherd

Is any name more comforting to weary, needy children
of our God, than Jesus' name of the Shepherd?
Feeding, leading beside the still water, watching
over all our wanderings, bringing us out of the
wilderness over the Jordan into the land
of peace and plenty.

CHARLES E. HURLBURT AND T. C. HORTON

Stay safe
Sleep well
God bless

  1. Joy, I totally understand how easy it is to pour too much of anything on anything! I'm not a big salad person, but I love honey mustard- the high fat kind. I like it on anything, especially chicken, but that's a whole other story!

    You're fighting the battle, Joy. That's what matters. We have to love as we are loved and forgive as we've been forgiven. I know it's easy to say, and I need to remember that every day. I know it must be hard when it seems like things are always being thrown up to you. But you will persevere. It's been promised!

    Love ya, and God bless. Stay safe during the storms. I'm be praying.
