Bad mood today...don't know why. Weather is gorgeous...lots of sun, nice breeze blowing thru the windows....Just am in one of those moods. Everything I'm supposed to be eating is not satisfying me today. I believe this to be one of those times when I need some Spiritual food. And if HIS Word doesn't fill me up with what I am lacking today...nothing will.

Couldn't get into chat for Voice of Truth.....bummed. Think I'll just grab my Bible, and see what I can dig up to help me get out of this mood I am in. Doggies don't have dinner for another couple of hours. Will fill up the time by reading the Word.

Praying for deliverance from this mood I am in.

Tuesday morning...Woke up hungry...

Breakfast: 2 breaded chicken strips/fresh mushrooms wrapped in lettace leaves. 3 oz. grapefruit slices, 1/2 bottle of water.

Thanks for hugs y'all....

This is just one of those weeks where I'm letting stuff get to me. I'm going to grab my Bible, and read, then I think I'm going to go back to sleep for a few hours. I just feel drained right now, even though I know I have a lot of stuff that still needs to be taken care of outside. I've got that "I don't give a crap right now" attitude.

God Bless
Love ya's

Thursday....Woke up to another amazing sun-filled day. Mood was better than it was the previous few days. Still had to force myself to get out of the house though.

Breakfast: 1 bowl of rice/warmed in the microwave-served with some butter and sugar. 1 bottle of water, 3 oz. grapefruit wedges.

10:30a.m. Got dressed and went outside. Washed my car....so much pollen on it! Soaped it down, then rinsed it twice. Buffed out the water-spots...Cleaned the windows and carpet....Shines like a new coin now. But have since parked it in the garage. Not going to go thru that mess again.

Mood is still okay.....but broke down in tears yesterday when I went into hubby's office. Had been looking for something in the bookshelves, found it, then turned around-facing his desk....this was where our doggie used to lay, looking out the window....I had to leave-fast! I have to let him go......I have to move on. I can't bring him back. He's gone..that's it. But it is hard.....

Ate a late lunch today, around 1a.m. Ordered out Chinese last night, Pineapple chicken with green peppers, and a pint of won-ton soup. Heated up the leftovers. It was delicious! Stomach is feeling a lil' on the grumbly side though. Will probably have the soup for dinner.

I'm making an appointment with my doctor next week.

The past few weeks I've been breaking out. I'm thinking it's "stress-related", sooooo I thought I'd Google and see what I could find out about these "spots" on my legs and arms(it looks like I've been burned by the end of a cigarette)...they don't bother me-they don't itch or anything, but they're annoying to see-I don't like them.

Well, the Google search proved to be useless, as 3 different sites I went to had 3 different explanations. I came to the conclusion that it's best to let my doc see for herself..she'll know right away what it is(and I've got a feeling that bloodwork will be involved and more than likely, a shot of something....and then antibiotics...LOL).

The past few days I've not been following my program, and have ended up gaining. I'm NOT going to beat myself up about it though. I know what I have to do/need to do, to lose....I just have to get my mind set back on the goal...I am still hopeful that I WILL have the biggest majority of my weight loss by October.

I'm still trying to keep the faith, and praise Him thru these storms.

Hubby's been a lil' down and out....It's hard to keep from letting him hear the upset in my voice when he calls and tells me that deliveries he was set to pick up, were given to another driver(especially when it would have meant he'd have had another awesome paycheck).

We've just now gotten where the majority of our bills are caught up-all those past months from the fall and winter have now been taken care of, and any bills we're getting now are for payments of what we've incurred this month. Ima' have to pray harder and keep my eyes focused more on HIM because hubby sounds so disgusted. I will continue to pray for him too.

We face a new set of bills now. The Vet who takes care of our doggies.....The last office visit/xrays/medication the Vet used to calm "Lucky", and the medication he used to put him to sleep. Ohhh..and then the bill for the cremation. It's all going to hit me in the face at once.

But.......i'm still praising HIM in this storm. HE will work out everything for us-we just have to be like those in the Bible.....have faith, regardless of our circumstances. AMEN? \0/

I heard a great sermon from Joyce Meyer last night on Youtube. She talked about eagles. Having "wings as eagles"(Isaiah 40:31)

.....She talked about how an eagle will eventually "fly up to the sun, sit on a rock and begin to pull out the feathers in his wings, eat off all the gunk and bugs that have gotten on his skin, and how he'll sharpen his beak/talons on the rock to rid them of the calcifications that have formed...How it will take 40 DAYS before new feathers begin to grow back and how they preen themselves with an oil from their saliva to coat their feathers once they grow back, should they need to dive into waters to catch their prey."

She talked about how Jesus is OUR ROCK...It made me think....We hone ourselves on THE ROCK/HIS WORD, and it might take us 40 days to get ourselves back to "normal" before we start seeing changes. But wow! That's worth it! AMEN

ISAIAH 40:31 "BUT THOSE WHO WAIT UPON THE LORD SHALL RENEW THEIR STRENGTH; THEY SHALL MOUNT UP WITH WINGS AS EAGLES; THEY SHALL RUN, AND NOT BE WEARY; AND THEY SHALL WALK, AND NOT FAINT."

Early Monday morning....12:29a.m.....

Didn't sleep well last night(Saturday). It was muggy out, temps were in the 70's overnight-then a big storm came. Dogs were restless with the thunder....We were up until 8a.m. Sunday morning-temps finally cooled down enough so we could all get some sleep, so we went back to bed then, and slept 'til 1:00 this afternoon.

1:30p.m...Made myself a light lunch. Ham slices rolled up in lettace leaves, 1 bottle of water and a handful of strawberries. Then started cleaning house...Cleaned house until dinner time-took out garbage for tomorrows pick-up, got the recycleables together. Did a load of towels and blankets. Swept and mopped the floors.

5p.m. Dinner... 2 breaded chicken patties, 3 oz. whole-kernel corn, 1 bottle water.

Fell asleep on the couch watching t.v. after dinner. Woke up around 8:00p.m. Let the doggies out while I got the last of the blankets and towels out of the dryer.

9p.m. Snack...Frozen yogurt in a sugar cone, 1 bottle water.

11p.m. Snack....Blueberry pancakes, 1 small glass of cran/grape juice.

Was upset about a friends note to me on Facebook over the weekend. It was her daughter's birthday and I had every intention of going. But the note my friend wrote to me made me feel as if I wasn't invited to stay("come for the birthday cake" was pretty much the jest of the note to me)-because "they were expecting others to show up for this party"-(which really made me feel like a piece of chopped liver). I decided to stay home.....and found out later that no one else showed up either, except for the grandparents.

Divine intervention causing no one else but the grandparents to show up for this party, because HE saw how hurt I was? I'd like to think so. Thank You Lord. \0/

Cleaning house is theraputic for me. When I am upset about "stuff" that's when I find I do my best at a lot of things...It allows me to really concentrate on the task at hand, and I get very thorough with whatever I am doing. So basically, my floors are more than clean enough to eat off of at the moment, the windows sparkle, and the laundry room looks like I never had any dirty clothes in the hampers. LOL

Had a long talk with my mom the other day. She wants me to get into the cake decorating business. I've been doing a lot of reading on it...love to see what others have created(my one cousin does beautiful work decorating cakes, etc). I've started step one: signing up to an email from a cake decorating company that will send to my inbox daily, with "tips and tricks". I'm totally excited!

God gave me the talent to be an artist...time to put it to use! AMEN?!

Our friends who live across the street are big at throwing parties..and they have lots of friends who like to throw parties as well. Memorial Day is coming soon and I'm going to be designing a cake this week to take over to their house that weekend. I'm praying that it'll serve up enough "buzz" that their friends will be interested enough in wanting me to design cakes for them as well.

I have to get myself out of this "funk" I have been in. I still am not having any luck finding a job. Most places I worked at years ago, no longer exist(businesses went bankrupt), and the last 2 jobs I had...one was only a "seasonal" position, and the other I was terminated from. I just keep praying that God's will is in this, and that when the "right" one comes along, HE will be the deciding factor in it.

So now my new "dilema" is.....what can I call my cake making/decorating business that will glorify HIM? I don't want to take credit for the talent HE gave me. It's ALL about HIM, ya' know?

Any suggestions?
