We had a nice 4th although we didn't do the fireworks this year. My little one is still not into them and actually afraid of the noises that they make! We had a cookout and some friends and family over. I ate way too much! Paying for it this morning when I stepped on that scale and weighed 3 lbs more than Friday morning
. Oh well, I will eat healthy this week .We had a house full last week with my four children, one of my oldest sons friends and then two cousins stayed from Sat-Fri. Today is quiet with only my youngest home.My oldest went to cut a friends grandmothers yard and the middle two are at grandma's house. I love my mom. She always knows when I am in need of a break.
Am I resting? No after last week and the cook out, my house needed more cleaning so that's what I have done today. The rain has put a little damper on my laundry duties (hate using the dryer~$$$$) but I got 4 loads done before 4pm so I guess I am doing good.
I think I need to join the Monday Meandering ladies. I would have done good today
. Not so great though because we are having hamburger helper for dinner. Why is it that feel like a cheater when I cook that? Though it is far and few between and the kiddo's love it, my hubby isn't the biggest fan. How can I spice it up??? Not sure what the rest of this weeks menu looks like. I need to go grocery shopping and make the menu plan. I've just been making it up as we go.I started a new book and already on chapter 10! It's by Joyce Meyer and titled, "Conflict Free Living". Boy do I ever need that. So far I highly recommend it. I actually went to my pastor and asked if I could order more for the Ladies meetings that I will start teaching again next week. We will only be having them once a month for now until my health improves and I can do more. I read him (my pastor) an small portion of one of the chapters and he said yes. The treasury of the church gave me the $$ and I ordered them Thursday or Friday. So where I had no real study text for the meetings planned yet, now I do. Thank You Jesus! The chapter I read him a bit of is titled "The Pastor must not like me." It covers the issues of strife in almost any relationship from marriage, church, parents and children, friends and so on.
I believe that we as woman of God need more instruction in these areas. So this is what we will be studying. I will try (no promises) to share our monthly meetings on here as I can.
I am so very excited that my two new friends have said that they plan on attending. Now where one is a SS teacher and very active in her church (just returned from a missions trip), the other does not attend church and has had a bad experience with a church so she shies away from them and "Religious" people. This is a very big step for her. I know the Lord is working in this friendship. She has really been a blessing to me and so I pray that these meetings be a blessing to her.
Oh news on my hubby's job. He landed a very big commercial contract (Thanks to the Lord). He will be busy for a while. They already have him another job lined and, well I should say, more jobs lined up... one right after the other. I feel so blessed. These are very large commercial jobs like schools, airports, gas stations, and such. He has the floors and the walls!!!! Praise be to God! I can not explain how much he has been blessing. I almost feel like I am boasting but I promise you, I am boasting only in the Lord for He alone brings the increase.
Well, I better get bk to work and cooking. The man of the house and the kiddo's will be arriving soon with hungry tummy's, so I must be prepared. I hope you all had a wonderful blessed holiday weekend and have a very blessed week in Christ Jesus.
