Day Four

Okay, this was another great day and I thank God so much for it. Today, I attended the Museum of Arts and Sicence in Macon Georgia, with the pre-teen girls in my Church. Wow, it was so fun and interesting and I totally enjoyed myself and after thinking I was gonna just be sitting in the house all week long, this was a blessing for me to even go. I will be sharing pictures soon.


Day 4

Well, this morning, I spent time with God and I am coming close to the end of Job. I want to fully understand it. So I am gonna read it again once I am done. For breakfast today I had grits, two small pieces of saugues, a banana and a glass of water. For luch, we ended up going to mcdonalds. I got a cheese burger and a medium fire and a sprite (so bad I know and I felt bad a little, and the food really wasn't good) to drink. I didn't get a proper workout today, but walking all over the Museum was good on a workout.  My leg was very sore, and I know that walking as I do was out of hand for me.I had a small bottle water while headed back. I wanted to get in more water, well I got in more than I did yesterday...Yay me..lol. I slipped up and when it came time for dinner, while waiting I ate a grab bag of cheddar chips. Then for dinner I had four samll fried chicken stripes, corn and a glass of sprite(okay not so good on the water) and that was it. Well, tomorrow it is time to get back on track again.

Day Three

This has been a great day, and I made it over what we call the hump. I found myself a little tempted by the enemy, but I kept going. I think that, I am on my way, but I am still just beginning.

Day 3

Well, this morning I woke and I spent time with God reading in his word and preparing my day. I had two boiled eggs and a piece of toast and a glass of water for breakfast. Sadly, I didn't do a morning workout, but that is okay, I will challenge that tomorrow. For lunch, I had a sub sandwich from subway and two peanut butter cookies (okay cookies shouldn't have been included..lol) and a glass of water. I pulled in a little studying after lunch, I am working on these word problems. I have to pass my math test so that I can get in school. That is one of my struggles and I need to get through this. So I am determined to fight this and with the help of God all things are possible.  I took my walk today with my brother, who is my walking buddy. I enjoy walking with him, because he motivates me. Tomorrow, I plan on walking a little longer, because after today's walk. I found myself not as tired as the other two days.For dinner, I had 2 small beef patties grilled (on the foreman grill, yes I love that grill..lol) with corn and carrots left over from the other day and I had a glass of kool aid, which I am gonna avoid next time. If I have to rate my eating today, I don't know what to say, but I am praying that once I go back and weigh myself on next Tuesday I will have lost some pounds.

My goals for tomorrow is to include more water. I am really not a big liquid drinker, but I need to do water of all things. Add more fruit, and some green veggies. Morning exercises, I think I might add some sit ups or something. Walk for a longer time. I plan to stay even more in tune in the presence of God. I am helping with the preteen girls on a trip tomorrow. I haven't been around that age group much, so I am excited to see how God will use me on this trip. I will also get some exercises in with them. Looking forward to seeing what God has in store for me tomorrow.

Day Two

What a beautiful morning I feel the present of the Lord all around. I figured I would post what day 2 was like, beginning that I failed to yesterday.

Day 2

Well, I actually got up and I fixed me some cereal for breakfast and it was only like a cup full. I then rested a little and I went right to the spending my time with God. I am reading in this book of Job. Job went through a lot and I am going through somethings as well and what better way to recover from a matter, than to hear what another went through and how they overcame. Although, his struggles were far greater than mine. I know that if God pulled him through, he will do the same for me. I then for lunch had the left over carrots, yellow rice and small pieces of chicken breast along with a glass of water. The portions were small. Instead of walking in the a.m. I walked at six. I also must confess that I had a bag of Cheetos's (not suppose to have happened..lol), but I pressed on. Dinner I had a cup of corn and more carrots(still gotta get the fruit in and leave the carrots alone) and I had a grilled piece of pork chop, which I put on the Foreman Grill and I drunk a glass of sprite. That filled me up alone and no snacks after, I must say that I did well. I am gonna include fruits and more water for the rest of the week. Thank God for getting me through yet another day.

A New Plan

  I decided to do something different with my life. It seems as if I reached a hard time, that a lot of people will go through in life and instead of having pity or allowing depression, to sink in on me. I have decided to fight all of that before it even attempts to hit me. I am  starting a new schedule for myself, since I have nothing but free time on my hand.

  I am focusing on my life with God, I am a Christian so I have to represent God. That has really slacked and I know that it is the reason why I am having such a hard time in life now. For me, and I can't speak for anyone else, but for me not having God's word in me daily is like a drug to me and I need it, if I don't stay in tune in his word, then I can't function and rehab want help. I am getting on board and staying in tune on his word like I should. I want a better life and without God, that is totally impossible.
I am focusing more on my weight, and yes I am serious this time, I am almost thirty-one and I want to get this weight out before I get older. Not to mention carrying extra weight has gotten me to the point to where I don't want to do anything. I hate the feeling and the lack of energy, I am not proud of, my body is a temple of God. I can't do all that he requires for me to do, if I keep destroying my body.
 While I tackle these task, I am gonna stay prayed up, because I know that I need my helper to make it through these trying times. The word of God says that I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength.  There is no excuse for me  not be able to tackle all that I desire. I am putting it all in Gods hands and I am gonna let him go ahead of me. I don't care to have my photos taken, but I think for this journey and as I shed the pounds I will post some images, if I don't chicken out. Here is what day one and two was like.


Day1

I started off slow, but I am somewhat proud of myself. I am telling myself, that If I slip off, just to keep going. I woke at the time I wanted to. I ate breakfast which I thought was a little unhealthy, but not to bad. I had two boiled eggs, two small pieces of sausage and a glass of water. It was good, but I need to make it more healthier than that..lol. I did a few strecthes shortly after and took a walk, but not to long of a walk, I started out slow so I only did a twenty minute walk. (Remember I am totally out of shape, so I am not gonna try and climb a mountain on my start out day..lol) this walk really proved to me, that I need to keep it up. I have decided that each week I will walk longer than normal distance.
For lunch I had a balona sandwich and a glass of water. Not much I know, but hey I didn't even put the mayo on the sandwich. Some hours after that I went walking again for the same amount of time and then later for dinner, I put two small chicken thighs on the Foreman Grill. I had a small amount of yellow rice and I had some steamed carrots and a glass of sprite. I thought this wasn't to bad, but results will only tell..lol. Later I had a popcorn for a snack, which had light butter on it. I think my day of eating was good for me, compared to how it usually would have been, trust me..lol. The only thing I didn't commit much to was reading the word of God like I planned. I will have to cut out something, so that is hindering me form that time. This was the first day and I don't think it was to bad.

A New Year!!!!

  The years come and go so fast and I always say, that I will change this and change that, and yet I find myself never following through with completing, what needs to be changed. Although, in it all I keep holding on to God, because I know that, that is one thing, that I will never change and that is my love for God. I know that God is taking me through somethings to prepare me for what he has ahead for me. I know at times, I want to give up on everything and just cry,but I refuse to allow any pity to get in the way. I don't desire to give the enemy joy. Many times it's what we allow when we get so overwhelmed with things, we don't realize that we are only giving room for the enemy to toy with our lives.
  I desire to stay focused on the things, that I need to be more focused on, this year, Even if it means cutting back on, things that I do, that are not really important in my walk with God. I thank God for the past I have had and the future he will give. This year I want to focus on what I can do that will please God. I want to pray even more for people, not just online, but out and about too. I wanna be like Paul, who told many about the gospel even when he knew he would be jailed for doing so. Even being in prison he still spread the good news. Wherever I go I want to spread the good news more. I pray that God will keep all distractions away from me, that will lead me off the right road.

25th Anniversary




My church just celebrated their 25th anniversary, I am late on posting but it was very nice and I was glad to celebrate with my church. We had a formal banquet and I wanted to really go formal. I have only been in like one wedding and I have that dress, from that wedding which is still wearable, which shocked me..lol. I wanted something new, so I got a very nice bride maids dress. I don't like having my photo taken, so I only have one photo of me in my dress, and that is my profile picture, with a very special lady. The Banquet was nice and I enjoyed it. It is nice to be apart of something formal and still give God all the praise. Below are just some photos of the people that were there.

New Season

The fall weather is approaching and I am so excited, I decided to put a fall photo I took last fall,and put it  as my background. It's an image  of a road leading to my home with beautiful fall tress around . It's like a hill, I pulled over beside the road and got out the car quickly to get the shot, because when the cars comes on that road, they speed and I didn't want to get hit.  I can't wait to capture more fall images this year.
