Can you believe that October is here already? I sure can’t. I don’t know where this year is going and so darn fast too. Next thing you know, it’s going to be Halloween and then Thanksgiving and so on and so on. Darn it I wish time would slow down. I’m just not ready for these holidays that are coming and winter. Oh well, I guess there’s nothing I can do unfortunately.
I’m a mother
Anyone that has ever had children, especially more than one, knows that one of the after affects of pregnancy is belly fat. I hate it so I started checking into how to lose belly fat. No I don’t want to look like a teenager again but I would like to lose some of that belly fat. I have exercised and watched what I eat but it’s still there. Hopefully I’ll learn something new.
Footprints
We have all either seen or read the poem called Footprints where Jesus is walking with someone on the beach. Well here’s a new version that I think is wonderful.
This new version of the ‘footprints’ story really caught me off guard at the end…What a blessing.
Imagine you and the Lord Jesus are walking down the road together. For much of the way, the Lord’s footprints go along steadily, consistently, rarely varying the pace. But your footprints are a disorganized stream of zigzags, starts, stops, turnarounds, circles, departures, and returns. For much of the way, it seems to go like this, but gradually your footprints come more in line with the Lord’s, soon paralleling, His consistently. You and Jesus are walking as true friends! This seems perfect, but then an interesting thing happens:
Your footprints that once etched the sand next to Jesus’ are now walking precisely in His steps. Inside His larger footprints are your smaller ones, you and Jesus are becoming one. This goes on for many miles, but gradually you notice another change. The footprints inside the large footprints seem to grow larger.
Eventually they disappear altogether. There is only one set of footprints. They have become one..
This goes on for a long time, but suddenly the second set of footprints is back.This time it seems even worse! Zigzags all over the place. Stops. Starts. Gashes in the sand. A variable mess of prints.
You are amazed and shocked. Your dream ends. Now you pray:
‘Lord, I understand the first scene, with zigzags and fits. I was a new Christian; I was just learning. But You walked on through the storm and helped me learn to walk with You.’
‘That is correct.’
‘And when the smaller footprints were inside of Yours, I was actually learning to walk in Your steps, following You very closely.’
‘Very good.. You have understood everything so far.’
When the smaller footprints grew and filled in Yours, I suppose that I was becoming like You in every way.’
‘ Precisely.’
‘So, Lord, was there a regression or something? The footprints separated, and this time it was worse than at first.’
There is a pause as the Lord answers, with a smile in His voice.. ‘You didn’t know? It was then that we danced!’
We made it through
Well my children and I both made it through the first week of school and every one’s still happy. I can’t help but wonder just how long that’s going to last but hopefully it will last at least another week or two. Hey, it could happen!!
My daughter has always loved school but the boys, well that’s a totally different story. See they like to be out playing or doing what they want to when they want and school sort of puts a cramp in their style. That’s okay because they complain that I cramp their style too. I must be doing something right then.
Oh my goodness!!!
I could not believe what I was seeing in this video. Someone really needs to tell this girl that what she’s doing, just can’t be done. You have to see this to believe it. If this isn’t a God given talent then I have never seen one before. Also a lot of hard work and practice. It’s just amazing!!!!
This could have been me
I just found out that a good friend of mine didn’t have any type of identity theft protection and all of a sudden she owes thousands of dollars on her credit card. She has no idea how they got her information but they did and since she didn’t have protection, I’m not sure what she’ll be able to do about it. Oh sure they’ll take some off but I’m not sure about all of it. What a shame!!!
I just can’t seem to get it out of my mind
That Angel in my last post, well I just can’t seem to get him out of my mind. If I could have an Angel like that, I would walk around with the biggest smile on my face you have ever seen. Oh well, he’ll just have to stay in my dreams because there sure isn’t anyone that looks anything like that around here. There’s always hope though!!!
Are you sick of ‘Angel emails’?
This is by far the best ‘Angel email’ I have ever received in my life. Gotta love it!!
Sick of angel emails?
OK BE HONEST…how many of you REALLY ENJOY getting little angel love notes from every person in your address book? You know the ones with “I love you so… here’s an angel” … and some mushy poem crap….And like the cute wasn’t bad enough, they then THREATEN you with bad luck if you don’t send it on to others!!
So here’s my version:
Take the fairy dust:
Add it to one of those angels
And POOF!!!!….
Now that’s my kind of Angel and he’s good luck because he probably made you smile.
One for the girls :
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray the Lord my shape to keep.
Please no wrinkles, Please no bags
Please lift my butt before it sags.
Please no age spots, Please no gray
As for my belly, Please take it away.
Keep me healthy, Keep me young,
And thank you Lord, For all you’ve done.
Ever thought of shopping as ‘Green’?
Going Green is the buzz word everywhere but what about Green shopping? Buy.com did a study and found out that by shopping online, we are helping to save our planet. Just think how many places you have to go to get the things you need. That’s a lot of carbon going into the air. When you order online and they deliver, lots less nasty things into our air!!
I’m feeling old for some reason
No I’m not about to tell you how old I am but I really think I need some eye cream. Hey it’s never too early to try and keep the wrinkles away. After all, you never know when you just might meet someone, fall in love and live happily ever after. Yeah I know that’s a fairy tale and I sit on mine but it could happen…………one day………….maybe. Better to play if safe than sorry ya know.
