I,too, will continue the prayers.<BR/><BR/>I am so satisfied that I was able to stick to my budget this last week!!! Even when the kids were begging to go out for lunch on Sunday I was able to confidently say,"no, It is not in the budget." IT felt GREAT to know for sure what I can and can't afford. Giving every dollar a name, or destination, REALLY helps. <BR/>I will be having a group of ladies over tomorrow night. This isn't for a bible study, just a get together. It is a way of getting in the door to start a desperately needed ministry here in Big Bend National Park. Please pray that I will be able to make a connection with these ladies so that we can begin having a true fellowship time together.<BR/><BR/>I have some issues coming up in the next week that I have to address. This will not be a terribly easy time, however, it is necessary. Sometime I will give more details, but now isn't the time! Just pray God know what I need!!<BR/>I wish everyone a wonderful God filled day!<BR/>RhondaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005715087927526913.post-39277932178761225522008-01-22T18:48:00.000-08:002008-01-22T18:48:00.000-08:00I think I'm doing pretty well. I am praying as I ...I think I'm doing pretty well. I am praying as I said I would, but have changed the time of day. I think I was bowing to the "start your day with prayer" concept and having a difficult time. The mornings are the busiest time for me. I still start my day with prayer, greeting my God at the start of each new day, thanking Him, etc. but I keep my intercessory and meditation times with Him for the evenings after kids are in bed. The great thing about it is that I'm adjusting things without feeling like I blew it. Something you said early on made me look at this process differently than I ever have. Instead of a challenge like "Let's see if you can do THIS." it's more of a "you can do it - it's just a matter of finding the way that works for you." That is so much kinder, and so much more conducive to success. I started keeping track of my water drinking. I'm increasing it so much that I was out of bed 3 times last night! That's the downside! Another goal -- my calendar, is working beautifully! It makes me wonder what was so hard about it before!?<BR/>I'm happy some of your testing is coming back with improvement showing. You have a lot of things going on. Do you know the top 10 Cholesterol-reducing foods? These are regular foods like oatmeal, spinach and soy products, that actually work to LOWER cholesterol.<BR/>Let me know and I'll send them to you if you don't have the list.<BR/>Love,<BR/>Nancynancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16587048072191384586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005715087927526913.post-51715480724320463332008-01-22T17:09:00.000-08:002008-01-22T17:09:00.000-08:00Karen checking in - have kept up with bible readin...Karen checking in - have kept up with bible reading and have NOT been good on my no sugar, no white stuff plan. Financial issues are crushing in on me and while I keep giving them to God, nothing stops. This has been an issue since November and should have been taken care of long before now. (Has to do with my son's probate)...in the meantime I've had to become compromised financially in keeping up with the house payments, keeping the house going etc., until probate is over and the house is in my name. I cannot seem to find work tho i have applied many places and just have my social security which is small because I had to quit work to come take care of my son in 2002. So if you would lift up my needs i;'d appreciate it...i knowGod knows them, and I guess I'm learning megalessons, but feel so stressed today. I've always had the blessing of being able to help others and never been on this end before; frightening really. thanks,karenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8005715087927526913.post-21286384353254376582008-01-22T14:17:00.000-08:002008-01-22T14:17:00.000-08:00Dear Lori,I am SO happy to hear about your glucose...Dear Lori,<BR/><BR/>I am SO happy to hear about your glucose levels ~ Praise God!
