Like A Virgin

It's been 2 months since my hysterectomy. Eight weeks yesterday. I'm a notoriously sloooowwwww healer, I know this. But oh my..I've not been cleared to have sex. NO. SEX. And I'm married to a man with a VERY high testosterone level...translation: he's one horny MF'er. As in, if I'd met ...

Even If...

It's been a few days since I've posted...been very VERY busy! Hysterectomy is scheduled for Monday, and I'll be off work for about 6 weeks. I'm trying to get all my ducks in a row before I'm out. Our youth group at church is headed to Gatlinburg, TN for Winterfest ...

"10,000 Reasons (Bless The Lord)"

[Chorus]
Bless the Lord, O my soul
O my soul
Worship His holy name
Sing like never before
O my soul
I'll worship Your holy name

The sun comes up, it's a new day dawning
It's time to sing Your song again
Whatever may pass, and whatever ...

Remind Me Who I Am

Day 7 of my '7 Challenge', LOL...so my family is getting sick of chicken. Can't say I blame them. I think tonight I'll fix my "unhealthy" meal of chicken fried rice--it's a family favorite but definitely doesn't fall into any low-fat or low-cal categories!
For breakfast I had whole wheat ...

Already There

ok, friends...I have to confess I was SO tempted last night when my daughter was baking a cake. From the batter, to the icing knife, I'd think, "oh, it's just a tiny bit...doesn't count..." And in the grand scheme of things, for a great many people, it wouldn't. But for ...

Healing Hand of God

Good morning, friends....

Well thus begins Day 3 of my '7 Challenge'. I have to admit, going grocery shopping last night with my husband and stepson while I was hungry was not the smartest thing. I resisted the temptations that were scattered all throughout the store, but I have learned my ...

All I Need

Lunchtime here in the office....one of the items I picked up last night (in the interest of time for today, since I knew I wouldn't have time to cook last night in prep for today) was microwavable brown and wild rice. We usually eat the Uncle Ben's brand Original Long ...

Good Morning

And it IS a good morning...filled with all the hope and promise of a new day.
I'm very proud of myself, not necessarily for how I did yesterday on the '7' challenge, but more how God is working in me through this challenge. He says for us not to worry about ...

I Will Rise

Well, Day 1 is about half over...if you're lost, read my previous post. I did GREAT for lunch. My loving husband was going to bring me something to eat, but he got caught up at work so I went to our local cafe to get something. I had baked chicken, ...

I'm Worn

Hello old friends...it's been forever since I've written anything on here, for many reasons, not the least of which is that I have put on so much of my weight and for so long have simply felt like a failure. I know I'm not, but that old negative self-talk just ...
