One of the main reasons I wanted a blog away from the blog was to have a place to keep track of things I am working on for me. Like....
- Weight loss, I don't want people who see me every day "checking me out" about my weight.
- Getting back to good home keeping schedules, this is one area that needs great improvement. I look back on the "preschool" years. Wow, they were difficult on so many levels but I kept a clean and orderly home back then. That was the easy part of that time in our family.
- Spiritual growth... kind of like weight loss, don't want daily checking up with. Accountability is good, but I have a husband, Pastor and his wife and the other deacon's wives for that. Not someone else's self-appointed check ups.
- Training my children.... I fear we have let some things go and I must be diligent to take care of things so our family can function at its best.
I am sure there are much more but hey, it is Saturday evening. I am about to go crash for the evening. I have been tired the past couple of afternoons and evenings. (Jane, I am not trying to tell you all something at this time ) I think my body is slowly recovering from last weekends illness. I still have little appetite and have only eaten chocolate twice in the past 8 days. I normally eat some chocolate every day. There is no desire and I am happy for this!
I leave you with Titus 2: 12
"Teaching us that, denying ungodliness and worldly lusts, we should live soberly, righteously, and godly, in this present world;"
I have to find my baby steps and get back on step with my home. I pray that my journey will be encouraging to some one. Life is a struggle but we must remember to "count it all joy". Join with me?

I'm in
Melissa,
First of all, you have had a tough month with illnesses and testing. That is enough to wreck the best of homes! What I mean is that I am confident with enough consistency, you'll be back where you want to be. Second, I desperately need to eat better. I am trying, but it's not good enough because the scales don't lie! So any thing I can do to help you there, I am willing to do so. Today I am sitting down and planning out the end of our school, one week at a time. I feel like we've lost track and there are some behaviors (habits) that need addressed.

Hi There.
I was thinking of you on my morning walk this morning. I hope you are having a good week. Baby steps are good. How do you envision people "joining" you?

LOL, well I guess if you're not craving chocolate, it can't be "that". lol I'm right with you. I need to lose weight, but I don't seem to do well with accountablity groups - never liked Weight Watchers groups. And right now I'm feeling a bit under the weather with a sore throat & fever that I think I caught from a friend at the Conference, so I don't feel peppy enough to get-it-done with school or housework. My heart is with you!!! One thing that Terri Maxwell of Titus 2 said at a workshop this past weekend that really challanged me was that I needed to be as faithful in my household duties as my husband is at getting up and going to work every day. I haven't been doing that as well as I should and have determined to get myself more on a schedule - I was hoping starting today, but witht he fever, I think I need to rest (sigh) - hopefully soon. I can draw up a plan from the couch. lol (If I can think clearly). But now I must go slay a wasp in my daughters room. :) Have a good day my friend!
