~ My Current Memory Verses ~

"Older women likewise are to be reverent in their behavior, not malicious gossips nor enslaved to much wine, teaching what is good, so that they may encourage the young women to love their husbands, to love their children, to be sensible, pure, workers at home, kind, being subject to their own husbands, so that the word of God will not be dishonored."
Titus 2:3-5 (NASB)

~ 2009 Theme Verse ~

"Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will bring it to pass"
I Thessalonians 5:24 (NASB)

~ Are You Wondering? ~

It's Saturday night and I'm almost ready for bed. I thought I'd quickly check in here and tell you how I did at our family meal today. First of all, let me say that I prayed and asked the Lord to help me today. I walked into my parent's house and there was an unexpected sight sitting on the counter. A container of just about my favorite store-bought cookies. They're the ones that you can pick up in the deli that just melt in your mouth- literally - they just kind of dissolve....probably because they are so fattening! So that added another dessert in the mix. I did well though. I stuck to my proposed eating plan for the most part. Here's what I ate:

a couple tbsp. BBQ beef with NO bread
about a tbsp. homemade cole slaw
about 1/2 cup fresh fruit salad

AND ARE YOU READY FOR THIS?

about 1/3 of a m-n-m blonde brownie

First of all, I opted for no bread because my Mom had put the homemade whole grain bread in the freezer and the only option was white store-bought buns. I initially only put about 1/4 cup of fruit salad on my plate. When I finished eating, after sitting there a few minutes, I was still hungry. So I ate about 1/4 cup more of fruit salad. I actually thought I would take a wee bit of whatever desserts I wanted to equal a small piece. So I started by taking about three quarters of one of those cookies from the store and the small piece of brownie. As the cookie sat there and I thought about it, I decided it was just way too fattening for me to eat no matter how much I liked them! So I put the cookie on my hubby's plate and opted NOT to eat it. So I ended up with just the small piece of brownie. I enjoyed every bite of it! I took a small bite of my hubby's pumpkin pie. And that's all I had! Woohoo!!!!!! As my hubby, litte daughter, and myself walked out of my parent's house, I told my hubby "I did it!!!" Yay!! Give God some praise! I also sent the remaining bon-bon to work with my hubby so that it would not be in this house. If it's not here, I don't seem to crave the sweets much or even really want them. Get them in this house and it might just be a different story. As I said before, who knew 'ole bloggyland would help me be accountable!
