What's on your mind? (63)

About 2 months ago my love challenged me to begin and end my day with God. Since then, Jesus has worked in my life and I have never felt closer to the Lord than I do now.

I had a great weekend and hope I can keep duplicating it for weekends to come!

After losing over 150 pounds in the last two years, my sister just told me that if I lose the last 100, she will take me on a cruise of my choice!

Can your sister be my sister? I'm willing to lose 100 pounds. But if it happens, I'll weigh like a toddler. =)) I want to take a cruise! ))

That's pretty cool. Kind of helps with motivation, too.

 

[Saucy]

Yes very motivating indeed

I woke up this morning with a realization, probably from God. I just posted a few days ago that I felt my life was on the upswing and things were getting better. I think now that I made that declaration, the devil is doing his best to swing hard at me and I need to keep my head up and trust God that He will make all things good. So I'm going to try harder not to let anything discourage me.

I doubt that it's just because you said that. Ups and downs are normal. Try to remember, when you're feeling "up," that you won't always feel that way, so enjoy it while you can. And when you're "down," try to remember that you'll be "up" again sooner or later, so it's okay.

Besides, things we consider "good" in our lives aren't always from God, and things that we consider "bad" aren't always from the enemy. It's much more complicated. And God uses everything for good, for those who love Him

Yeah I understand. I've been trying so hard to stay positive and keep working harder and suddenly I see a light at the end of the tunnel and BAM I'm knocked back down and I lose some ground. When that happens over and over again, one can get a bit less optimistic. Losing my truck would immediately increase the difficulty of my situation hundred-fold.

The only explanation for how awful my experimental psych professor is at is job:

He is so bad at his job he cannot comprehend how bad he is at it.

If life got easy and I didn't have to struggle at all, I'd kind of wonder if God still wanted me

I was so excited to make chicken tacos for dinner, but the chicken was frost-bitten. Blah!

And hey my pastor and his son fixed my truck for me!!! They're on their way to pick me up now. I'm so thankful! You were right Sharon

I'm definitely determined to make it to my other friend's wedding this time. I missed the other one, but not this time.

 

[Miss Spaulding]

Okay, let's finish this off.
