Hi whispering

Wow you've been through a lot in the last few days huh? Well just remember God's grace is sufficient and He can lift you up and get you back on the right path...it's not about how many times you fall but how often you get up!

The enemy is great about luring us away into temptation...and once he has us there he will continually lurk about in our minds with the thoughts of what we are tempted by...this is why we have to counter those thoughts and fill our mind with good things...Godly things...this is how you clear out the lurking thoughts.

Praying for you.

luv ya

doing well today soo far. stayed out of the porn sites and have to work tonight . that should definitely help.

off to the gym this morning to meet with the trainer. thank goodness for trainers. even when you make a total idiot out of yourself they stand there and smile. then they take the deadly weapon (known as a 5 or 10lb weight) out of your hands and say, "here lets go try this instead." Yes, these are very nice people.


Today is mat pilates at the gym. yes, i will be returning to this same gym. obviously i have more desperation than sanity

But, I have got to get the stress and strain off my back and joints - hence the desperation. All the exercising should help me to stop falling down so much. I have noticed that my balance is getting better and my muscles are getting stronger. I don't lose my breath as easily as before either. Definitely some good things going on.

The gym is kinda funny for another reason though. I think some people go to the gym to try to pickup dates or something. Most of the serious people there who are like me, we have in our earphones and are more interested in trying not to pass out on the equipment, get our shoe laces caught in the stairmaster, or falling/flying off the treadmill/elliptical. I do like my gym. Nice chunky people just like me.

Just dropping in to say hi and luv ya

[Whisperingsprings]

finally back around to post. hello everyone.

hmmm, i do wonder why more people don't go to the gym??? some people are interested in the sites etc. . . . some of us are trying to make it safely over to the next piece of equipment. i am very excited to say that i have not fallen down in over 1 week. i'm still bumping into things and what not but my balance is getting better.

my spine is still curved and right now my right hip is sore even after taking my motrin . . . i do wonder why. On the flip side, i'm sooo happy to not be falling down sooo much. I'm happy to have better balance. i don't have as many bruises from bumping into things either.

this is very exciting because i have to get up on the slope and do the yard work. PTL

listened to stories about people that i know and their children. listening to the stories of how people followed Christ carefully and their children. examining my own life.

lots to think about, ya know.

work was work this past week. i think someone hurt someone else. the person who did the hurting has done this before. one time i got into trouble for something that i didn't do because of this person. You know what, I'm feeling better about this situation though. I'm going to stand up and let everyone else be responsible for their own actions. I'm not going to take the blame for anyone else. I'm going to report the careless person if my supervisor didn't. it's been allmost 2 years since, this person did something that i was blamed for. I'm not going to stand by anymore. It negatively impacts my ability to keep a peaceful soul and love in my own heart. it's time to stand up again.

i stood up in another situation this week too. it had to do with the marriage. i am more peaceful now. i can't take responsibilities that aren't mine. i don't seem to have as much anger or hatred . . .

i've got a long way to go though. lots of cursing and what not from my mouth. it ain't perfect for certain, but if not the anger goes somewhere else. geesh, so much to still think about . . . little by little everything settles down.

going back to bed. have a good week everyone. and God bless.

Hi sis

Our walk with God is a refining process...some habits are hard to loose and some are even harder to form....but God wants us to have the best habits that honor Him...and that takes work...and often lots of it....so just take everything one day at a time...both the good and the bad.

luv ya

[Whisperingsprings]

hi mlg, hon you are a comfort to my soul.


WARNING extremely random thoughts!!!!!

My goodness, work issues . . . . , character issues (mine), physical issues (also mine - health - my body hurts alot) . . . . hmmmmmm

But I'm not defeated .

I'm living in blatant honesty though, I do need to not say everything that crosses my mind. In fact scripture says "a fool utters all his mind". Somethings need not be said. Some statements have been to draw attention to myself. Self seeking.

I don't want self seeking behaviors. I need and want and prefer calm maturity. Does that make sense?

I don't care what anyone else is doing with their lives right now or even thinks about my life! I'm struggling ridiculously to stay out in the open and be honest about my life and who I am. This behavior has always kept me out of trouble. It places a stop gap or hinderance stone for me choosing to dive into dangerous unhealthy behaviors.

Ureka!!!!!! Perhaps that would be part of the issue.

Hmmm, can't be scared to fail, search for perfection . . .
dodgin rain drops, meanin i'm gon vacate
on to the next one
(on to the next tasks at hand, the next opportunities for growth and beauty, everyone else can do whatever else they want.)

*giggles* yep random thoughts...but I love it...your mind sounds like my mind at time...a huge jumble of thoughts swirling round and round...and then all of a sudden you loose a thought and go in search of it...and find another you had long forgotten.

Thanks for sharing all those thoughts.



luv ya

[Whisperingsprings]

yep, that pretty much says everything.

goodmorning everyone. guess wha?t it is actually morning Being a night shift worker, mornings usually find me lost, dazed, and searching for my bed . But when I have several days off, I can flip back over to days . I love mornings.

I love the freshness of a new day beginning. I enjoy the morning air and the hearing the birds singing. Then of course there is my dog barking at those birds ; but hey it's all good and humorous .

at the moment for me.

The kids are around the big block twice.

The spouse already did the yesterday. Today we will need to clip things rake leaves, prune, water, and much much more. which will be good for me. Tonight I go to work.

Hope all is well for everyone.

Hi hun

You sound like you've had a bit of rest, and now back to the grinding block it is.

Luv ya

[Whisperingsprings]

i have to get to the gym today. i'm sooo tired. i can't lose weight either. hmmm, i think everything will be okay though. i just have to stop eating all those delicious little cupcakes with the yummy yummy icing


So last night I prayed that God would remove the lustful heart of my friend - well at least towards me anyway. This way, I don't go the wrong way and neither does he. I know he'll move on and so will I.

No contact has been made and this is good. Only prayer and good wishes toward him from me and perhaps the same from him toward me.

Anyway, the fantasies are settling down a little bit more. Each step is a step in the right direction, I think.

Going to buy husband's valentines day gift. he has to pick it out.

have a good day everyone. for now, i'm going back to sleep. need to work tonight.

[mlg]

oh I know those yummy cupcakes and candies and and and...uh huh I see the calories packing on my rear now

Sis I hope you had a wonderful Valentine's Day.

luv ya
