Good morning all;

Yes I'm an emotional reck today. I have to bury a close family member tomorrow, I am eating like a fool b/c of all of these emotional things going on around me! I am stressing about the surgery I have to have!  

And to top it off, my job says I'm not "mean" enough to deal with problem children! Can you believe that! I don't think you have to be mean, just understanding and respectful. I deal with a number of children everyday, and I love them all and they all love me. What is wrong with that. Just b/c a child makes a mistake are you suppose to hold that over their head and treat them like they are second class? NO! I refuse to do that!

You may think, If this girl believes in God and knows that God doesn't put more on us than we can bare, then why is she stressing?

Good question.

I am in the flesh and the flesh gets weak. I have to just pray more. I don't want to get back into old habits! I even had icecream last night, it was sugar free, but not calorie free!

IF ANYONE HAS ANY WORDS OF COMFORT, PLEASE, NOW IS THE TIME TO OFFER THEM!
God Bless!
Teena!

Yes folks, I am married to a superstar! The high school my husband graduated from invited him back yesterday for black history month! He had to give three speeches in front of an audience of 500+ students, and he then had to answer questions. You have to understand, my husband is soooo shy. He is nothing like his wife!

The reason he was invited back is he graduated in 1983, and he still holds the record for the highest basketball points scored, and they didn't have the three point shot then. I am so proud of him! It came at a great time because my husband has been depressed, he lost both of his parents last year, and this is just what he needed to boost him up!

Look, I have a funny story, I was at this event and I saw this lady that I haven't seen in years and she asked how I was doing and all, said I still look good, (she didn't know I had just freed willey with wls!) then she asked who did I end up marrying. And I said Michael Dale, well she said, NO! And I said NO, what do you mean NO! She said, you married THEE Michael Dale! Oh my God I can't believe it! Oh my God, you're not lying, there he is right there!

You have to understand, we are from a small one horse town, and sports is a very big deal! I am just glad my husband is very humble, if not this all could go to his head, then I would have to knock sense back into him!

God is so Good!

Anyhow, about my progress. NOT GOOD! I have been eating sweets for four days! I know it is due to stress, so I have to get control of it! What is wrong with me? Am I scared of success? I am finally getting where I want to be and now I feel like I am about to blow it! 

I am still doing the exercise class! I will take control starting tomorrow! I have to cater for this huge funeral. So I will be cooking all night tonight and all day tomorrow! I'm going to try not and eat though! Well maybe a little bit of chicken and dumplings!

Keep me in Prayer! God Bless, Teena

Good morning all! This is a day that God has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it! What a mighty God we serve! I am on cloud 9 right now! I had such a wonderful time in church yesterday. I gave it all to God, not part of it, all of it!

The children, my husband, my health situation, my job, my extended family, all of it! Oh my God! I feel like a 500 pd weight has been lifted off my shoulders and back! 

If I didn't dance up a storm in Church yesterday, here is all of me! I just have to be sure that I don't try to take some of it back! That's what I would do in the past, give it to God, then take it back. Not this time! With him I can do all things, without him I can do NOTHING!

Okay here is the update on my  partial hysterectomy. The Dr. wants me to have it done on March 26. I wanted to wait until the summer when school lets out, but she seems to think that I can't wait that long, because the tumors are still growing. 

Thank you for all the words of encouragement. I don't know what I would do without you guys. You are really therapy for me. I thank God for you, because I truly can't afford a therapist, (financially challenged since we purchased our new home, but this too shall pass!)

I am on such a wonderful high! I hope everyone has a blessed day, and stay encouraged! If I can offer any words of wisdom or encouragement or anything, please don't hesitate to ask, that's what we are here for!


DON'T MY PAGE LOOK GREAT! GOD'S CHOSEN REALLY HOOKED ME UP! THANK YOU AGAIN GIRL, LIKE THE KIDS AT SCHOOL SAYS, "UDA BOMB!"
God Bless, Teena!
