Exceptional Drought

Good evening my dear readers!  Wow, have I been busy here!  My brother has recently moved in with us for a little while and we have been getting adjusted to having more people in the house.  It truly has been quite pleasant though!:-)

I don't have a ton of time but I wanted to update you on a few things.  First one is...I joined Weight Watchers 2 weeks ago and so far I have lost 4.2 pounds!  I'm pretty proud of myself.  My husband also bought me a treadmill and I am up to power walking 2.1 miles at a time!:-)  By the end of the week, I need to be ready for a 5K that I am participating in!

But big news...Down here in the South we are now categorized as suffering from an exceptional drought...aka...the worst drought!  In fact a few of our surrounding counties are under a warning for elevated fire danger for the next few days!  Our fire fighters are exhausted and it doesn't seem to have an end in sight!  So please pray for all of us down here!  It rained yesterday, and it was such a blessing, but not nearly enough!

In other news, my mom and sister are coming down here for a visit!  In just 3 short weeks they will be here and I can't wait!  Now I need to concentrate on getting this house in order! :-)  They haven't been down to visit since we moved, so I am so excited to show off my home and community!

That's all for now...I'm gonna spend some time with my hunny on this fine Friday evening!

Blessings for this weekend, my friends!

I'm back!

I'm alive!  Whew!  It's taken me a long time to realize this! :-)  No, I've just been very busy.  My mind has been too busy to come up with anything to blog about!  Even today, I don't really know what to say, but here I am anyway!  I would love to get back into a blogging schedule.  So pray for me! :-)

I have been down for the last month or so, and I couldn't really pinpoint what the problem was, (other then being so busy)  but the past few days, several things have happened and they really helped lighten my heart!  I think that I was just carrying around some sin that I needed to let go!  It's funny...I think that God just shut me down, until He could get through my very very thick head!  Here's one of my problems.  I love lists and schedules!  But I tend to over fill those lists and schedules and run from one thing to another all day!  I may get them all completed but I don't really include God in any of it!  And then, I get depressed because I feel like nothing I do actually matters!  I recently had a dear sweet friend tell me that we need to remember that what we do at home shouldn't be done for anyone but the Lord!  That comment has stuck with me and really seems to help!  My hubby might not notice that the windows were cleaned AGAIN, and my Arrow might follow behind me and re-mess up the room, but my Loving Father in Heaven sees everything that I do and He is proud of me!  And that's what matters!

So here's to a new outlook on all my duties of being a loving, competent helpmeet to my husband, mother to my son and most importantly, a Daughter of the Most High King!

Blessings to you all!
